Career[edit]

During the Xinhai Revolution which overthrew the Qing, Khalkha Mongol banners declared
independence as the state of Mongolia and occupied Dariganga, which was then under
Jodubjab's jurisdiction.[4] This occurred in March 1912. He led an attack in an attempt to recover
the area, but on 28 August was taken prisoner and held in Urga (today Ulan Bator). He would
be released in 1915 under the terms of the Treaty of Kyakhta (1915).[5] After his return to Inner
Mongolia, he was commended by Yuan Shikai's government and commissioned a lieutenant-
general. From there he rose to become the senior amban in Chahar Province.[4] During
the Outer Mongolian Revolution of 1921, he was dispatched in another attempt to re-establish
control in Dariganga, but was driven out by Soviet Kalmyk troops and local partisans; the
territory would thenceforth remain part of the state of Mongolia. [5]

In March 1934, Jodubjab was appointed a member of the Nanjing government's newly
established Mongolian Local Autonomous Political Committee, along
with Kesingge, Serengdongrub, nenbayan, and Nima-odsor of the Kuomintang, and various
league and banner nobility such as Altanochir, Darijaya, and Gorjorjab ().
[6]
However, in early 1936, Nima-odsor, who was Jodubjab's close friend and advisor, was
assassinated by the Japanese for his Mongol nationalism and opposition to Japanese
expansionism.[7] In response, Jodubajab, intimidated, began to collaborate with Japan's
territorial designs on Inner Mongolia, sparking the ire of Mongol nationalists. [4] In his position as
commander of the Mongol militia, he endorsed Prince Demchigdongrob's telegram announcing
the establishment of the Mengjiang government.[8] In February that year, he and Li
Shouxin seized control of the postal administration in six districts of eastern Chahar Province.
[9]
In November that year, he participated in the Suiyuan Campaign. In 1937 he was appointed
one of two deputy commanders of the Mongol Pao An Tui () along with Pao Yueh-
ching ().[10]

Jodubajab was captured during the Soviet invasion of Manchuria in the late days of World War
II and again taken to Ulan Bator as a prisoner, where he died. [4]
