Genghis Khan appointed Qorchi as the governor of the Hoi-yin Irgen tribes in Siberia after these tribes were subdued. Qorchi's selection was based on his previous services rather than his administrative skills. His governance was marked by controversial actions, particularly his practice of abducting women to add to his harem. This behavior led to significant unrest among the tribes, culminating in a rebellion against his rule. The tribes, feeling oppressed and disrespected, took decisive action against Qorchi, ultimately capturing him. This rebellion highlighted the tensions between the ruling Mongol forces and the local tribes, which were exacerbated by Qorchi's actions. The situation escalated further when, in a retaliatory move, the tribes ambushed and killed Boroqul, a high-ranking official in Genghis Khan's administration. This incident not only infuriated Genghis Khan but also underscored the fragile relationship between the Mongol Empire and the subjugated tribes, revealing the complexities of governance in newly conquered territories. The repercussions of these events contributed to the ongoing challenges faced by the Mongol Empire in maintaining control over its vast and diverse regions.
