Chapter 537: How did Aguba come about?

Aguba is not Chinese, this great immortal is a native of the Kokand Khanate, so he must be considered a foreign invader. What is more strange is that he, the invader, did not come to China on his own initiative, but was invited in. It is not easy to tell how he came, and you have to go back to the Qianlong period.

The land of Xinjiang was included in China during the Han Dynasty, and then it was sometimes unified within the big family, and sometimes it was exiled. The area was also a prosperous homeland for the Han people, but with the division and merger of the Central Plains Dynasty, it gradually became completely Arabized. By the time the Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains and began to pacify the world, many sect lords had already formed in Xinjiang and were subdued by Jungar.

In the Qianlong period, after three generations of emperors, the Qing Dynasty finally got rid of the annoying Jungar, and by the way, liberated the big and small and Zhuo brothers who were hostages in Yili. As a result, the consequences of this hostage rescue operation were very bad, because for the big and small and Zhuo brothers, the Great Qing Dynasty was not their liberator, but also a group of invaders. Although the big and small Zhuo brothers are very aggrieved as hostages, they want more than freedom. In order to establish their own independent * country, as soon as the big and small Zhuo brothers were free, they began to entangle their forces and prepare to fight against the Qing Dynasty in arms. Although they fanned a lot of city lords from all over the country, in the face of the strong Qing army, they had only one way to die.

The rebellion of Daxiao and Zhuo was easily put down, but the Qing Dynasty did not do it. Yamato Zhuo's son Samuk, after the destruction of Yamato Zhuo, fled to the Kokand Kingdom west of the Green Mountains, and the Qing Dynasty did not chase after it, but took 10,000 taels of silver every year and let the king of Kokand monitor Samuk on his behalf. Samuk didn't make trouble for the Qing Dynasty, but he gave birth to a good grandson for his father, Zhang Ge, who was also very good at tossing.

Zhang Ge was ambitious, always dreaming of restoring the rule of the Hezhuo family in southern Xinjiang and establishing an independent state. Zhang Ge inherited the will of his ancestors and must build an independent country, and he really worked hard to achieve this. In his early years, he studied in Kabul, the capital of British-controlled Afghanistan, where he received advisors, training, and weapons from the British.

With the support of Britain, Russia and the Kokand Khanate, Zhang Ge infiltrated southern Xinjiang and launched a rebellion, which lasted from the 25th year of Jiaqing to the 11th year of Daoguang. In the sixth year of Daoguang, a rebellion was the largest, Zhang Ge led more than 500 people from Kokand and Burut to return to the vicinity of Kashgar, and in the name of worshipping his ancestor Maza (tomb), he took advantage of the religious sentiment of the people of various ethnic groups in southern Xinjiang to gather more than 10,000 people to launch a rebellion. He successively captured the cities of Kashgar, Ingishhar, Yarkand, and Hotan, and proclaimed himself Sultan Said Zhanger, preparing to establish an independent stan. The Qing government ordered General Ili to mobilize more than 10,000 Qing troops from Jilin, Heilongjiang, Shaanxi, Gansu, and Sichuan, join forces in Aksu, organize a full-scale attack, and successively recover Kashgar and other cities. At the beginning of the eighth year of Daoguang, Zhang Ge fled to Kartiegai Mountain, was captured by the Qing army, and sent to Beijing to be executed, and the rebellion was put down. Zhang Ge made a fuss this time, in addition to losing his own lives and causing many innocent officers and soldiers to die on the battlefield, but also let the Kokand Khanate take a big advantage.

The Kokand Khanate is a big country in Central Asia, with relatively strong strength, although it has also worshiped the Qing Emperor, the regional big brother, but the small actions at the bottom have not stopped. The Kokand Khanate maintained tribute to the Qing Dynasty and at the same time established trade relations with Russia, thus opening up trade routes between the East and the West and reaping a large number of economic benefits. Because of its growing ties with the Qing Dynasty, Kokand merchants monopolized Xinjiang's import and export trade, making the Kokand Khanate the largest trading nation in Central Asia. At that time, the gold and silver ornaments, weapons and even daily necessities circulating in the Central Asian markets were monopolized by the Kokand Khanate. In addition, tea, silk, ceramics, etc., which were exported from China to the West, also passed through the Kokand Khanate. With the economic growth, the Kokand Khanate also got rid of the barren appearance of the border area, accelerated the construction of social infrastructure, and gradually became the military, religious, and commercial center of the region.

When the mix was strong, it naturally wanted to make the territory bigger, and the Kokand Khanate set its sights on the Kashgar region in the pocket of the Qing Dynasty. They don't have the courage to find the eldest brother to practice the Kokand Khanate, but they still dare to play a little loss, such as supporting the rebellion of the co-religionists in the Xinjiang region. Kokand had always supported his co-religionists in Xinjiang against Qing rule, refusing to extradite Yamato Zhuo's son, Samuk, and plotting for Samuk's restoration with British support. After Samuk's death, Muhammad Ali Khan supported Yamato Zhuo's grandson Zhanger to enter Xinjiang to establish the "Saeed Zhanggar Sultanate" and sent troops to the Yarkand region.

At first, the Qing Dynasty resolutely severed diplomatic relations with the Kokand Khanate, but this rebellion also dealt a great blow to the Qing rule in Xinjiang, forcing the Qing government to consider a compromise with the Kokand Khanate. In the tenth year of Daoguang, the Qing Dynasty negotiated peace with the Kokand Khanate, agreeing to the request of the Kokand Khanate to send "elders" to the Liucheng region of Xinjiang to exercise consular privileges. By sending elders, the Kokand Khanate could protect the interests of the Kokand merchants in Xinjiang while directly taxing the Kokand merchants, thus ensuring that the Kokand Khanate monopolized the trade interests in the Six Cities region. However, the Kokand Khanate still did not give up its ambitions for the Kashgar region, and often supported the restoration of the Hezhuo people and intervened in Xinjiang affairs.

The dispute between the Qing and the Kokand Khanate in Xinjiang is difficult to explain clearly, because the Qing considered it to be a political matter between states, while the Kokand Khanate considered it to be their religious matter. Not only the Kokand Khanate, but almost the entire Arab world thinks so, as long as it is the most important thing, they can manage it. Although the Qing Dynasty later accepted the idea of the Kokand Khanate, the Qing Dynasty went to the extreme and agreed that foreigners should manage their own religious affairs, completely making themselves uncomfortable. This rebellion in the northwest has become an opportunity to highlight uncomfortably, and the Qing Dynasty only encountered * trouble, and the Kokand Khanate killed itself.

As soon as the northwest was in chaos, Xinjiang was also in chaos, but in the early stage, the major lords had been pinching and pinching internally, but I didn't expect that the head of the Kashgar Hui tribe, Kirgiz Berkesidil, who had suffered a loss, sent someone to the Kokand Khanate to call for helpers. These big brothers have no concept of borders, for them, the Qing Dynasty is all hateful heretics, and those people in the west of the Green Mountains are their own people who have the same faith as them. So Aguba, a foreigner from the Kokand Khanate, escorted Zhangger's son Busuluk back to Xinjiang. The first thing he did when he came back was to drive Sidil, who had invited them, out of Xinjiang.

Originally, it would take a few years for Aguba to complete the full-scale invasion of Xinjiang and establish his own khanate, with the help of the British, but the fierce battle between Gohinga and Russia changed his fate.
