The Battle of Jao Modo, also known as the Battle of Zuunmod (literally "Battle of the Hundred Trees"), was fought on June 12, 1696, on the banks of the upper Terelj river sixty kilometers (thirty-seven miles) east of the modern-day Mongolian capital Ulaanbaatar.
A Dzungar-Mongol army under the command of Galdan Boshugtu Khan is defeated by Qing armies personally led by the Kangxi Emperor.
This decisive Qing victory in the early stages of the Dzungar–Qing Wars (1687–1758) effectively incorporates Khalkha Mongolia under Qing rule and relegates Dzungar Mongol forces to Inner Asia until they are finally defeated in 1758.
