Gorlos

Gorlos was a Mongol people of the eastern steppe and the Songnen plain, closely connected with the Horqin. Their leaders established relations with the rising Later Jin in the early seventeenth century and joined its campaigns. Under the Qing the Gorlos were organized into two banners within the Jirim League. The front banner was associated with Gumu's lineage, while the rear banner was governed by Bumba's descendants. Their pastures and settlements lay across a country of grassland, lakes and rivers.
