Yeerqiang Khanate

Yeerqiang Khanate is a local Islamic regime established in Xinjiang in Ming Dynasty. Historical records are called "Mongol Khanate", "Mongolia" and "said Khanate". The history of Ming Dynasty refers to the political power in Xinjiang as "ground". Because the capital is Yeerqiang (today's Shache), it is named. The ruler is a descendant of Chagatai. It has jurisdiction over "altishar" (namely six cities: Kashgar, Yarkand, Khotan, Yingjisha, akyarkand khanate, USSR and Wushi), including Turpan, Yanqi and Fergana in its heyday. From the founding of the people's Republic of China in 1514 to its death in 1680, it was ruled by 11 generations of Khan in 166. The residents are Uygur and Kirgiz. The residents are engaged in agriculture and animal husbandry. Sunnis are the national religion. When the 12th Khan ahema of the Khanate of East Chagatai was in power, his capital was set up in Turpan. Before his death, his eldest son man su'er ascended the throne in Turpan and became the 13th Khan of the East Chagatai Khanate. At the beginning of the 15th century, the Timur Dynasty and the eastern Chagatai Khanate fell apart under the situation that the Uzbek army went south to conquer the middle of the river (between the Amu Darya River and the SYR River). In the spring of 1514, after exiled at Chagatai in Kabul, king said Khan summoned 5000 troops from the old army to attack Southern Xinjiang from Fergana, defeated 50000 troops led by Amir ababak of dugrat, the ruler of Southern Xinjiang, and took advantage of the victory to pursue to Ladakh mountain, kill ababak, and ascended the Khan's throne in June of the same year.

After the establishment of Yeerqiang khanate, two regimes coexisted in the territory of East Chagatai Khanate. In 1543, man su'er Khan died and Zisha Khan succeeded to the throne. Later, Shahan died in an attack on Wasi. The third generation of the Yeerqiang khanate, abduklim (the second son of the rexid Khan), took the opportunity to send troops to occupy Turpan, Hami and other eastern regions, ending the situation that the South Tianshan Road was divided into two parts since the middle of the eastern Chagatai Khanate, and realizing the unification.

In the later period of Yeerqiang khanate, it fell into a serious sectarian struggle, and even led to the invasion and subjugation of Junggar. As early as the abduklim Khan period (1660s-early 1990s), the "Hezhuo" sect of Islam began to enter the Yarkand Khanate. After mahemahan, the son of abduklim Khan, succeeded to the throne, Heishan sect and Zhuo were strongly supported by the king of Khan, and this sect developed rapidly in Yerqiang Khan. Later, the white mountain faction also entered the country, demanding to share the power of the black mountain faction. The contradiction between the two factions became more and more acute, and even bloody fighting took place between the two groups. In 1670 (the ninth year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty), the Heishan school established yisimayele as Yeerqiang Khan. Ismayle Khan suppressed the Baishan sect. The leaders of Baishan sect, apak and Zhuo, fled to Tibet through Kashmir. Later, in the name of Dalai V's introduction, he went to Junggar to collude with HunTai jigarden. In 1678 (the 17th year of Kangxi), gardan marched into Yeerqiang, captured ismayelhan and his family, brought them back to Junggar, and established apak and Zhuo as puppet kings. Yeerqiang Khanate died.
