After the declaration of independence on December 1^<st>, 1911, unifying the Mongols, who had been under the rule of the Qing Dynasty, became one of the most important issues for the Bogd Khaan government. This new government was established on December 29^<th>, 1911, and elevated 8^<th> Jebtsundamba Khutagt as the Bogd Khaan (Holy Emperor). The relationship between the Bogd Khaan government and Inner Mongolia, Holonbuir and Tannu Urianhai, which were adjacent to Outer Mongolia, has been widely discussed by scholars. However, as far as I can verify, there have been few studies on the relationship between the Bogd Khaan government and the Qinghai Mongols, who were the part of the "Mongols" in the Qing period. It is true that the Qinghai Mongols were far from Ikh Khuree, the capital of the Bogd Khaan government. They were, however, located between Outer Mongolia and Tibet, and had a strong historical connection with both of these countries, which were seeking independence. Therefore, it is to be expected that they still had contact with the Bogd Khaan government in some way. If so, how did the Bogd Khaan government manage the distant exclave of Qinghai? This article will clarify the relationship between the Bogd Khaan government and the Qinghai Mongols in the early 20^<th> century, using newly found archival documents written in Mongolian.
