[8] All Chinese captured—including merchants and 300 soldiers Janhangir captured in Kashgar—had their queues cut off when brought to Kokand and Central Asia as prisoners.
[11][12] The queues were removed from Chinese Muslim prisoners and then sold or given to various owners; one of them, Nian, ended up as a slave to Prince Batur Khan of Bukhara.
[13] The Russians record an incident in which they rescued the Chinese Muslim merchants who had escaped after they were sold by Jahangir's army in Central Asia and sent them back to China.
[14] Nevertheless, the Qing Daoguang Emperor managed to mobilize "all forces of the Empire, that were put into motion" and by September 1827 had assembled an army of 70,000 in Aksu under the command of General of Ili Chang Ling.
Daoguang Emperor was dissatisfied with this turn of events and wrote to Chang Ling: I sent an army to eliminate the evil itself, you were at the lair of the beast, but let him to escape, now all previous victories have no any value, because he is still alive, the germ of the future rebellions.
When Jahangir heard the news he hurried back to Kashgar but was ambushed by Qing troops under the General of Ili,[18] captured and delivered to Beijing.
There he was exposed to the attention of China's capital's population, being carried for several weeks in a mobile iron cage through the main streets of Beijing.
With Jahangir dead, the Chinese decided to punish the Khokandians for their sympathy with the Khojas and imposed restrictions on their exports to Kashgar.
