Josutu League

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Josutu League (Mongolian: ǰosutu-yin čiɣulɣan, ᠵᠣᠰᠤᠲᠤ ᠶᠢᠨ ᠴᠢᠭᠤᠯᠭᠠᠨ Chinese: 卓索圖盟; pinyin: Zhuōsuǒtú Méng) was the southernmost league of Inner Mongolia during Qing rule. It occupied land that forms part of the modern-day Chinese provinces of Liaoning, Hebei, and Chifeng in China's Inner Mongolia.

The name of Josutu was named after a place in the Tumed Right (wing) Banner (not Tumed Right Banner), where Mongol princes regularly gathered together to administer inter-banner affairs.

Divisions

[edit]

The Josutu League consisted of two ayimag or five banners.

In addition, the Khalkha Banner (Tangghud-Khaklha Banner) was split from the Tümed Left Banner in 1913 under the Republic of China.

Dissolution

[edit]

The league was dissolved in 1933 by the Manchukuo government. Its territory is now distributed among the modern administrative regions:

  • Fuxin County from the Tümed Left Banner.
  • Chaoyang County from the Tümed Right Banner.
  • Lingyuan (or Jianchang) County from the Kharachin Left Banner.
  • Pingquan County annexed a large portion of the Kharachin Right and Middle Banners.
  • Jianping County corresponds to an eastern portion of the Kharachin Right and Middle Banners.

There remain two Mongol autonomous counties in Liaoning.
