The Amur campaign was a war waged by the Qing dynasty against peoples living along the Amur River region from 1639 to 1643. It ended in the subjugation and integration of the natives into the Eight Banners.

The recently created Qing dynasty under Hong Taiji expanded rapidly during the 1630s in all directions. One of the areas which came under attack by Qing expansionism was the northeast Amur river region where people such as the Evenks, Nanai, Daur, and Solon lived.[1]

Campaign

In 1639, Qing forces attacked the Solon and Daur people. A force of 500 under the Evenk chieftain Bombogor tried to resist, but the Qing defeated them and captured the fortresses of Duochen, Asajin, Yakesa, and Duojin in the following year.[1]

In 1643 the Amur region natives submitted to the Qing.[2]
