If Galdan Khan was killed in Ulan Batong, what would happen? The Khalkha would have submitted to the Qing in 1691 anyways, but what happens in Khobdo? Tsewang Rabdan would probably take the throne as he did OTL (since he was rebelling early as 1690), but what could the Qing do with a weakened Dzungaria and an earlier conclusion to the Galdan wars? Would they take advantage of the weakness of the Khoshuts and the rule of the sDe-pa and conquer Tibet as early as the late 1690s or the first years of the 18th century?

Would the Dzungars be able to gain Russian support?
