Mostly I only know about the Han, 3K, Jin periods in Chinese history. Can someone simply tell me what are the Steppes and who where they (mongols)?

The Tujue were a people living as a vassal of the Ruanruan Empire, it's been noted that they were working as ironsmiths of them. When the Tiele peoples rebelled against Ruanruan rule, Anagui Qaghan of Ruanruan asked Tumen to put down the rebellion. Tumen, ruler of the Tujue, defeated the Tiele and added people of 50,000 tents (probably) to his rule. Folowing this, feeling that he became quiet powerful, he requested a marriage between him and Anagui Qaghan's daughter in 552 but Anagui refused his proposal, so Tumen asked for a new wife from the Western Tuoba Wei, got married with a Western Tuoba princess, rebelled and defeated Anagui who committed suicide.

Later, at that year, Tumen declared his independence and became the Il-Qaghan of the Türük (Tujue). He apponited Istemi, his brother, as the Yabghu of the western half of his state and probably died that year. Qara succeded him but died a year later, and Tumen's brother Yandu Irkin became crowned as Buqan Qaghan (Mugan Kehan) and the golden age of Tujue started.

Chinese Mojilian 默棘連 is read as Mo-ji-lyen and it's the transcription of a Turkic name/title starting with the letter B; but it's complete Turkic form is still unknown. I don't think you're of Khan descent just becuase a similarity in the names :D (first of all, the ruling tribe of the Gök Türks was Āshĭnà 阿史那)

But it's not Mojilian in Old Turkic. In Old Turkic, names don't start with "M" while there is no "j/zh" sound. Mojilian is the Mandarin (Modern Northern Chinese) version of a Turkic name/title probably starting with "B" :)

I was just wandering if anyone have noticed a strange thing in conection to the list of Tujue rulers?

In almost every known Chinese source we can see that after Bumin-khagan died his son Yixiji (Ke-luo, Kho-lo) assumed his throne. And also that this Yixiji was his son. - After Istemi khagan's death, his son Tardu assumed the throne of the western part of the khaganate.
But if we look at the Orkhon Inscriptions we will see that after death of Bumin and Istemi "their younger brothers became khagans, and after them their sons became khagans".

What could be the reason for this inaccordance between these historical sources?

Because the Kurultai chose them.

Because the Orkhon Inscriptions were written in the 8th century, I guess.

I don't think that Orkhon Inscriptions were wrong about their own history...
