Phi-Fic Chapter 253 Yakub Beg and the Late Qing Dynasty
Chapter 253 Yakub Beg and the Late Qing Dynasty
【2 Xinjiang’s internal and external environment
Xinjiang, formerly known as the Western Regions.
After the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, with the unremitting efforts of three generations, Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong, the war against the Galdan regime of the Dzungar tribe was put down and a complete victory was achieved.
In 1757, the nd year of Emperor Qianlong's reign, the leaders of the White Mountain faction of the Hui people in Xinjiang, the elder and younger Khoja, launched a rebellion. The Qing army dispatched troops to fight and defeated the rebels. The elder and younger Khoja fled to Badakhshan (now Afghanistan), where they were killed by the leaders of the Badakhshan tribe and their bodies were handed over to the Qing army. From then on, the areas north and south of the Tianshan Mountains were all under the jurisdiction of the Qing Dynasty.
In 1762, the th year of Emperor Qianlong's reign, the Qing government established the "Ili General's Office" to settle immigrants in the border areas and carry out reclamation, thus consolidating and improving the Qing Dynasty's military and political jurisdiction over Xinjiang.
However, the problems in Xinjiang have not been resolved, and rebellions still frequently break out in various places.
In 1820, the 1828th year of Jiaqing's reign, the Zhang Geer Rebellion instigated by the Kokand Khanate in Central Asia was not quelled until , the th year of Daoguang's reign.
Soon after, in 1830, the tenth year of Emperor Daoguang's reign, the Yusup Rebellion broke out; in 1847, the Seven Khoja Rebellion broke out. After the rebellion was quelled, another rebellion broke out every two or three years.
Why has Xinjiang been in a cycle of rebellion, suppression, rebellion, and suppression?
Xinjiang is the northwest border of my country. There are often foreign invasion forces here, and the religious forces inside Xinjiang are complicated. This is also the reason why the rebellion in Xinjiang has never stopped. 】
＜Qianlong was called "the man of ten perfections" and he was quite capable＞
＜Zhao Hui, Yang Yuchun, and Zuo Zongtang, these three are all famous generals, and all three have made great contributions in Xinjiang＞
＜Emperor Qianlong suppressed the rebellion of the elder and younger Khojas, and his grandson Emperor Daoguang suppressed the rebellion of Zhang Geer, the grandson of the elder and younger Khojas. This is fair in terms of seniority. ＞
＜Zhang Ge'er was just a rookie, and the Khanate of Kokand was really good at causing trouble. It was a pity that Qianlong did not destroy it at that time＞
＜It can also be seen from the period after Qianlong that the emperors of the Qing Dynasty have been inferior to the previous ones＞
[Huo Qubing in the fifth year of Han Yuanshou: Good! Well done!]
[Emperor Wu of Han Liu Che: Beyond the Western Regions is Central Asia, how wonderful, how good…]
[Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty Aixinjueluo Xuanye: Good saintly grandson!]
……
Zhu Yuanzhang saw the battle deployment during the suppression of the rebellion during the Qianlong period on the light curtain map, and had to admit that this emperor was capable.
"In the early and middle Qing Dynasty, there were always ambitions for territory."
Zhu Yuanzhang was half moved and half worried.
He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he found that the dislike and ridicule of the Qing Dynasty in the comments on the screen was not because they were a foreign race, but because they lost to the foreigners...
Thinking of this, I feel a little jealous of the territory of the Qing Dynasty during its heyday.
"I remember your grandson abandoned the land?"
Zhu Di stood up suddenly. His grandson? Oh, Ming Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji. The temple name sounds good, how could he do such a thing!
"I will teach him by example and let him know that we must not lose any of the land that the Ming Dynasty has conquered!"
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't believe what Zhu Di said.
"I, your father, taught Yunwen by example, so why didn't he understand this principle?"
"what?"
"..."
Zhu Di and Zhu Yunwen both lowered their heads, not daring to look at the emperor.
……
Emperor Qianlong Hongli rarely saw the light curtain praising him. He found that there were comments in the light curtain that wanted him to conquer the Khanate of Kokand. Hongli carefully calculated that the Khanate of Kokand had always been a vassal and paid tribute.
Sure enough, he is still an ambitious wolf.
Always doing sneaky things.
……
[In 1850, the th year of Emperor Daoguang's reign, after the rise of the Taiping Rebellion, an anti-Qing wave began across the country, and the Hui Muslim resistance movement in Shaanxi and Gansu soon spread to Xinjiang.
In this part of Xinjiang, local separatist regimes such as Kuche, Khotan, Kashgar, and Turpan were established successively. It can be said that Xinjiang was in a state of chaos at that time.
It was at this time that the Kokand Khanate attempted to gain influence in Southern Xinjiang.
In 1864, the third year of the Tongzhi reign, after the Kirgiz leader captured the old city of Kashgar, he decided to send people to the Khanate of Kokand to bring back Busuruk, the great-grandson of the Great Khoja, the son of Zhang Geer, and the so-called "descendant of the saint". He wanted to use the names of the Great and Small Khoja to maintain his rule.
Yakub Beg of the Khanate of Kokand escorted Busuruk to Kashgar.
Obviously, the leader of the Kyrgyz people did not understand that it was easier to invite a god than to send him away. Busuruk was the ruler of Kashgar on the surface, but the real ruler was Yakub Beg.
Afterwards, the Kirgiz people fought against Yakub Beg, and after several fierce battles, Yakub Beg won. Yakub Beg began to expand, winning battles one after another and quickly occupying a large area in southern Xinjiang.
After defeating local warlords of all sizes in several major battles, Yakub Beg's ambition expanded again, and he set his sights on the only city in southern Xinjiang where Qing troops still remained - Kashgar.
The Han city of Kashgar had been under siege for half a year and had long been in a desperate situation. Although the people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang bravely resisted the foreign invader Yakub Beg, due to the corruption and incompetence of the Qing Dynasty, about 30 Manchu and Han ministers in the Han city of Kashgar committed suicide, and the rest led their troops to surrender.
Since then, the entire southern Xinjiang has fallen into the hands of Yakub Beg. 】
＜Yaqub Beg was too cruel and massacred the people. I remember that in Hotan, Yaqub Beg’s army launched a seven-day massacre against the people of Hotan, killing more than 5 people＞
＜Even the corrupt and incompetent late Qing Dynasty could not have imagined that he could be regarded as a savior when facing Yakub Beg [laughing and crying]＞
＜This is our Qing Dynasty’s excellent matching mechanism [covering face]＞
＜In fact, after Emperor Qianlong’s death, the emperors who followed him had to face uprisings all over the country, and they were able to continue the dynasty. One cannot help but admire them＞
＜Alas, it has only been a few years... The Qing Dynasty couldn’t even defeat the Khanate of Kokand＞
＜No, Kokand is just a small territory, but it wants to swallow Xinjiang???＞
[Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty Aisin-Gioro Hongli: How dare the small Kokand covet Xinjiang!!!]
[Tang Taizong Li Shimin: The Qing army defending the city was brave.]
[Emperor Wu of Han Liu Che: Yakub Beg has more than one Kokand behind him, maybe he also has the support of Tsarist Russia?]
[Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng: From the map provided by the light curtain, the large and small khanates in Central Asia are all being devoured by Tsarist Russia. This country has great ambitions.]
……
Ying Zheng looked at the constantly changing map of Central Asia on the screen, "Perhaps Tsarist Russia is another wild wolf watching from the dark."
"Does he want to wait until Yakub Beg and the Qing army fight before sending troops?"
……
When Li Shimin saw the Qing army defending the city of Kashgar, he thought of the group of people whom Guangmu called the loyal ones in the northwest.
Alas, it’s not that I hope the Qing Dynasty will be better, but loyal and righteous people in every dynasty are worth remembering.
……
Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian couldn't help but put himself in the shoes of Emperor Daoguang. If it were him, would he be able to maintain the continuation of such a huge dynasty?
"Alas, if the light curtain had not appeared, I would not even be able to protect the Ming Dynasty..."
Zhu Youjian was a little discouraged. Over the years he found that the Ming Dynasty had no shortage of loyal ministers and capable generals, but why did the Ming Dynasty lose in the end?
……
Emperor Daoguang was annoyed by the light curtain. He felt that he would live many years less after having the light curtain...
Every day there was a rebellion in one place or another, and he was getting so worried...
Life is already tight, how can we raise money to continue the war!!!
As we all know, Emperor Daoguang Minning was a very stingy emperor.
At this time, the people of Xinjiang fell into panic.
"What?! The Khanate of Kokand?!"
"Yaqub Beg carried out a massacre?"
"Ahhh, Qing Khan, please don't abandon us!!!"
"We are part of you..."
