Changling (simplified Chinese: 长龄; traditional Chinese: 長齡; Manchu: ᠴᠠᠩᠯᡳᠩ cangling; December 18, 1758 – January 26, 1838)[1] born in Sartuk clan (薩爾圖克氏), was a Qing dynasty official of Mongol descent.
He began life in 1775 as a secretary of the Grand Council, after taking the Xiu cai degree at the Manchu examination.
In 1800 he was in command of the expeditionary force sent against insurgent bands in Hubei, and subsequently in various operations undertaken from time to time against disturbances caused by the evil influence of secret societies.
In 1826, when the rebel Jahangir Khoja crossed the frontier and began his depredations, capturing Kashgar, Yangihissar, Yarkand and Khoten, he was appointed Generalissimo; and by the end of 1827 had captured Jehangir and put an end to the rebellion.
The prisoner was sent to Beijing in a cage, and brained in the presence of the Daoguang Emperor, who conferred on Changling a triple-eyed peacock's feather.
