OIRATO-CHINESE RELATIONS AFTER THE TUMU DISASTER OF 1449
In the history of each nation, you can find periods of ups and downs. The time of the highest power of the Oirats in the post-Yuan period in the history of medieval Mongolia is the period of "Oirat hegemony", when the united Mongol-Oirat state was ruled in the first half of the XV century by prominent statesmen Togon-taishi (d. 1439) and his son Esen (1407-1455) [Sanchirov, 2002, p. 38 - 53].

The root cause of this was disputes with the Minsk government over trade relations, in which the Mongol and Oirat rulers were extremely interested. Uninterrupted trade exchange with settled countries allowed nomads-Mongols and Oirats-to acquire the necessary products of agriculture and developed handicraft production and sell the products of their cattle-breeding economy. However, the Ming dynasty in China, remembering the lessons of the past, has always been guided in its trade practice with its neighbors by considerations not of an economic, but of a military-strategic order, and has not been at all interested in strengthening the power o ...
