The battle in which the Qing Dynasty tried to capture the Kyrgyz leader and was defeated, losing the entire attacking army.
Background
[edit]In the fall of 1825 (more precisely, the 1st year of Davguan's reign, the 12th day of the 9th month, which corresponds to October 19-20) The governor-general of Kashgar, Yun Qin, decided to prevent the actions of the rescuers by sending his deputy Bayanbatu at the head of 200 (according to other data, apparently 600-7000) Qing soldiers to the alleged location of Cangir. According to Russian archival documents, Jangir instructed Taylak Biy to consent to accompany the Qing army to the alleged location. Although the troops marched in "strict secrecy" and only at night, this action nevertheless ended in complete failure. Unable to find Dzhangir in Taylak baatir's family, the Qing troops carried out a brutal massacre of the defenseless population.[1]
Conflict
[edit]As they turned back after taking some of the defenseless population prisoner, Kyrgyz tribesmen (Kyrgyz warriors led by the "aksakals" Taylak and Baybagi) came to the rescue. The Chinese historian Zhav Irshun (1844-1927), in his work "Theses from the history of the Qing", written in 1914-1927, recounts the above incident and says that when the Qing detachment was surrounded by Kyrgyz troops led by the people's ruler Taylak, the entire detachment was destroyed and defeated.[1][2]
