Report of a Mission to Yarkund in 1873 : vol.1 |
Citation Information
OCR Text
The fort was now cleared of nearly 4,000 corpses, and a mosque and orda P.
were at once raised by Khitáy labour on the ruins of the Chinese temple and
Ambán's palace respectively. Before their completion Yákúb Beg entered the
Yángíshahr, and establishing himself in the orda, performed prayers and a complete
recital of the Kurán in the new mosque. He celebrated his success by a grand
feast to the poor, and by marrying the beautiful eldest daughter of the Kho Dáláy,
whom for her sake he treated with marked favour. He restored him to the
command of his Khitáy, now called Yángí Musalmán or new Musalmán, and settling
them in a separate fort gave him the rule over their families with the power of
life and death amongst them. The Kho Dáláy still held his position and privileges
when we saw him and his people during our stay at Káshghar. They are all
enrolled in the service of the present Amír Muhammad Yákúb Khán, but are rarely
employed on other than sentry duty, and are not trusted generally. Indeed, it is
suspected that in secret they still practise their Budhist religion.
About the end of September, following the festivities by which this success was
celebrated, the outpost officer at Mingyol reported the advance of a large party from
Khokand over the Tirik Dawán Pass towards Káshghar, and headed by Khudá Culí
Khán, Kapchak, and many notable chiefs. On this Yákúb Beg sent Eshán Mahmúd
Khán, the Shekhulistám of the city, out to Mingyol to ascertain whether they came
as friends or foes, and with the brief ultimatum: "If friends, they are welcome. If
foes, I am ready to fight them."
The high priest found the party consisted of Khudá Culí Khán with his
Kapchák and Kirghiz, nearly 1,000 men; and that he was accompanied by Beg
Muhammad Míngbáshí, Mirza Ahmad Dastárkhwánchi, Eshán Khán Tora, Tora
Kalán, Walí Khán Tora, his brother, Muhammad Yúnus Shaghawul, Muhammad
Nazar Beg Koshbegi, Cosh Parwánchi, and the Dádkhwáhs Janak, Múlán and others,
and Umar Culí Hudáychi, together with Náib Nabbi Baksh Jamádar, and a number
of Pansad officers and court officials, such as Hakím Beg, Turdi Culi, Syad Beg,
Abdurrahmán, Isa, and others. There were with them, besides, Akram Khan, the
son of the Mír of Hissár, and some sons of the Mír of Orátapa. He learned that
they had all rebelled and fought against Khudáyár Khan, by whom they had been
defeated at Súfi Karáwal with the loss of their artillery, and the capture of most of
their troops; and that they had fled to Tocáy Báshí, and thence come on by Nacára
Cháldí and Ulugchát to Mingyol, where they awaited what God should provide for
them.
Yákúb Beg had already sent out ample provisions to Mingyol by way of
welcome to his countrymen and former associates, and the Shekhulistám singing his
praises advised them all to come in, tender submission, and offer service. Khuda Culí
Khán with his followers hesitated; but the Khoja brothers with Mirzá Ahmad,
Muhammad Yúnus, and the sons of the Khokandi Mír, and most of the others join-
ing the high priest repaired with him to the presence of Yákúb Beg, and congratu-
lating him on his success declared themselves his devoted servants.
Two days later the Kirghiz and Kapchák left at Mingyol, hearing of the favour-
able reception of their fellow refugees, and seeing no other alternative than submission,
seized their Khán, and bringing him before Yákúb Beg, apologized for their hesitation,
and begged to be enrolled in his service as the others had been. Their request was
acceded to, and they were welcomed with a feast and robes of honour. Yákúb Beg, now
strong with the accession of this force, dismissed the Badakhshí army to its home, and
allowed the commandant to carry away with him the corpse of Hamráh Khán from
Yangí Hissár.
Three weeks later, about the end of October 1865, Mir Bábá, the Dádkhwáh
of Yárkand, reported his inability to hold the place owing to the intrigues of the
Tungáni in the Yángíshahr. Yákúb Beg on this decided to go and settle the place
himself, and dragging the careless Buzurg from his absorbing pleasures in the city,
appointed Cosh Kapchák Parwánchi his own locum tenens in the Yángíshahr;
and taking the Khoja with him set out with a strong force of Andijáni, and the
