The Khorchin (Хорчин ᠬᠤᠷᠴᠢᠨ Qorčin) is a subgroup of the Mongols that speak the Khorchin dialect of Mongolian and predominantly live in southeastern Inner Mongolia. The Ming Dynasty put two surrendered Borjigin princes (descended from Genghis Khan’s brothers) over the Taining guard of the Three Guards which was established in 1389. During invasions of Esen Tayisi from 1446–48 most of them fled however Fuyu Guard of the Three Guards remained along the Nen River and Onon River.
