The Chahar Eight Banners lie four hundred thirty li southeast of the capital. Their territory stands beyond the frontier of Xuanhua in Zhili and Datong in Shanxi. In Ming times this was Cha Han, a people descended from the Yuan collateral line of the Little Prince. During Jiajing, Buxi grazed his people on Chahar lands, and the tribe took its name from that place. In Tiancong 6 the court campaigned against Ligdan Khan, who fled and died. Ligdan's son Kökege Erjen submitted; his people were enrolled in banners and settled at Yizhou. In Kangxi 14 Burne's brothers rebelled, were suppressed and executed, and the people were relocated to graze beyond the Xuanhua–Datong border.
