In the spring of 1675, Prince Burni, head of the Inner Mongolian Chakhar tribe, rose in arms against the Manchu Ch’ing Dynasty of China, which was then afflicted by a large-scale rebellion in the south started by the so-called Three Feudatories. Taking advantage of this situation, the prince, along with some other Inner Mongolian chiefs who cooperated with him, aimed at liberating his people from the Manchu yoke and bringing back the old glory of the Chakhar Khanate. Not surprisingly, official Ch’ing sources supply only scant information as to what caused this rebellion and how it developed. At that time, the Koreans of the Yi Dynasty Joseon Kingdom, with their barely-concealed anti-Manchu feelings, were keenly interested in the behavior of Burni and his father, Abunai, and information they gathered on the two princes was included in the Veritable Records of that dynasty, Yinjo Sillog. As the Korean source tells us, the Manchu-Chakhar discord originated in the days of Prince Abunai, who had fallen out with Shun-Chih and would not visit Peking even when the emperor died. After the death of Princess Makata, his first wife, Abunai married another woman without asking for permission from the Ch’ing court and ceased to attend the New Year’s celebrations in Peking after 1663 altogether. In 1669 Emperor K’ang-hsi had him arrested and detained at Shenyang, and granted the Chakhar Principality to his son Burni. Deeply offended by the treatment of his father, the young prince prepared for a rebellion while pretending to be loyal to the Ch’ing. Although it was easily suppressed in a short time, the rebellion of Burnj was one of the most politically significant incidents in seventeenth-century Inner Mongolia
