1759 CE

A Chinese army from Ili (Kulja) invades Turkistan and consolidates their authority by settling Chinese emigrants in the vicinity of a Manchu garrison.

The Chinese have thoughts of pushing their conquests towards Transoxiana and Samarkand, the chiefs of which have sent to ask assistance of the Afghan king Ahmed Shah Abdali.

This monarch had dispatched an ambassador to Beijing to demand the restitution of the Muslim states of Central Asia, but the representative had not been well received, and Ahmed Shah is too closely aligned with the Sikhs to attempt to enforce his demands by arms.
