The Islamic Yarkant Khanate (1514-1680) or Khanate of Yarkand etc. was founded in 1514 by Sultan Said - the descendant of Tughluk Timur (1347-1363) of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate - on the soil of the original Chagatai Khanate .

The territory of the Khanate extended in the Tarim Basin in the east to Jiayuguan , in the south to Tibet , in the southwest to Kashmir , the eastern part of Badachschan and Baltistan ; in the west the Mughal Empire was its neighbor, the Fergana Valley in Uzbekistan formed the border, in the north it was bordered by the Tianshan Mountains with neighboring Kazakhstan .

Because Kashgar was an early center, one speaks in the west of Kashgaria or the so-called Kashgar Khanate . In Central Asia , the khanate is considered Mongolian because it was founded by the descendants of Genghis Khan .

Its capital was Yarkant ( Shache ), it exercised control over Turpan , Hami and the Tarim Basin south of the Tianshan Mountains and over a large part of the areas referred to by the Chinese as western regions . In 1678 Apak Hodscha (Apak Khoja) gained control of the Tarim Basin from the Khoja Khanate under the rule of the Manchu dynasty . In 1680 it was defeated by Galdan and incorporated into the Djungarian khanate . Apak Hodscha continued to rule Yarkant under Galdan in a puppet regime.

Quote

“From the Ming Dynasty on, Tibetan Buddhism even developed enormously and became the most important religion in Xinjiang alongside Islam. In the last years of the 17th century, Apakhoja, the leader of the Islamic faction Aktaglik, with the help of the forces of Tibetan Buddhism, destroyed the forces of the Karataglik faction, his political opponents, and established the Yarkan Khanate, one of the descendants of the Mongolian Khan Qagatay A local regime established between 1514 and 1680 with today's Shache as its center, which shows how strong the forces of Tibetan Buddhism were at that time.
