Sengge

Sengge (Mongolian: Сэнгэ хунтайж, Chinese: 僧格; died 1671) was a Choros-Oirat prince and the chosen successor of his father Erdeni Batur to rule over the Dzungar.

Its most powerful leaders, Ochirtu and his half-brother Ablai Taiji, chose sides and assembled coalitions to fight against one another.

[3] Under Sengge, past commercial trading agreements between Russia and the Dzungar were no longer honored by the Oirat groups roaming the northern border.

However, Sengge still forcefully demanded Russia stop claiming tribute from the small Siberian tribes that he deemed to be the vassals of only the Dzungar.

This issue would cause several skirmishes between the Cossacks and the Dzungar forces during Sengge's reign and would remain unresolved at the time of his death.
