Genghis Khan appointed Qorchi as the governor of the Hoi-yin Irgen tribes in Siberia, primarily based on his previous services rather than his administrative capabilities. Qorchi's rule was marked by his controversial practice of abducting women to serve as concubines in his harem, which incited significant unrest among the tribes. The Hoi-yin Irgen, feeling oppressed and disrespected, organized a rebellion against Qorchi. This uprising culminated in the capture of Qorchi, reflecting the tribes' resistance to his authoritarian governance and the cultural violations they experienced under his rule. The rebellion not only demonstrated the tribes' discontent but also highlighted the fragile nature of Genghis Khan's control over the newly subdued regions. The aftermath of Qorchi's capture led to increased tensions in the area. In retaliation for the rebellion, Genghis Khan's forces targeted the tribes, resulting in further violence and instability. The situation escalated when Boroqul, a high-ranking official in Genghis Khan's administration, was ambushed and killed by the tribes. This act of defiance enraged Genghis Khan, showcasing the potential for rebellion against his authority and the challenges he faced in maintaining control over his vast empire. The events surrounding Qorchi's governance and subsequent rebellion underscored the complexities of tribal relations and the consequences of oppressive rule in the Mongol Empire.
