Life
The circumstances and deeds of how Dorubei Doksin came to serve Genghis Khan are unknown, but he was under his command at least by the time the Mongol Empire was founded in 1206. The Secret History of the Mongols records that a man named Dori buqa (Dori buqa > duŏlǐ bùhuā/朶里不花) was appointed commander of a thousand men, and some believe that this person is the same as Dorubei Doksin, but others deny this claim, citing the difference in pronunciation.[1]
Dulbei Doksin's first major role was in 1217 (Dingchou) , when he was sent to the northwestern Mongolian Plateau to suppress a rebellion by the Tumed tribe. He was accompanied by Borokul , one of the " Four Fleets ," and was killed in battle.[2] Genghis Khan was enraged and wanted to personally lead the expedition, but was dissuaded by Mukari and others. He ordered Dulbei Doksin to "equip his soldiers with proper attire, worship the eternal gods of heaven, and strive to subdue the Tumed people."[3] Genghis Khan's commander, Dolbey Doksin, succeeded in subduing Tumed, but the neighboring Kyrgyz tribes continued to rebel, and these northwestern tribes (collectively known in Mongolian as Khoyin-Ilgen , or "Forest People") were eventually subdued by Jochi in the following year, 1218.[4]
Later, when Genghis Khan began his campaign against Khwarezm, he accompanied him, and when Khwarezm's prince Jalal ad-Din Menghberdi fled across the Indus River to India, he was sent to pursue him.[5] After returning from India, he was active in the Khorasan region, and is known to have suppressed the rebellion of Merv, but his subsequent actions are unknown .[6]
