Kashgar Khanate

Japanese: カシュガル・ハーン国 - かしゅがるはーんこく

...However, the rule of the khans from the 14th to 16th centuries was indirect, so to speak, and direct control of the region was held by the emirs of the Moghul Dugrat family. Therefore, in the early 16th century, the Moghul khans advanced into the region and began to rule it directly (called the Kashgar Khanate). Meanwhile, from the end of the 16th century, mystics from the Naqshbandi sect arrived in the region from Western Turkestan, and with the support of the khans, they expanded their influence, and in the 17th and 18th centuries, the family of the leaders of this sect, commonly known as the Kashgar Khojas, is said to have exerted power equal to that of the khans not only in religious matters, but also in political and economic matters. ...

...However, after the conversion to Islam during the reign of Tughluq Timur Khan (reigned 1346-63), the royal family gradually became sedentary, and from the mid-15th century onwards, when new nomadic powers such as the Kazakhs, Uzbeks and Oirats emerged in the steppe region, many of the Khanate's people joined these new powers, causing the Khanate to rapidly weaken. The Khans and other rulers abandoned the nomadic region and migrated to the settled areas of the Tarim Basin, forming the Turfan Khanate and the Kashgar Khanate in the early 16th century, the latter of which annexed the former by the end of the 16th century.

…もっとも，14～16世紀におけるハーンの支配はいわば間接支配で，この地方の直接の支配権はモグールのドゥグラト家のアミールたちの手中に握られていた。そのため，16世紀初頭，モグールのハーンはこの地方に進出して，その直接支配を開始した(カシュガル･ハーン国と呼ぶ)。一方，16世紀の末以来，この地方には西トルキスタンからナクシュバンディー教団の神秘主義者たちが到着，ハーンらの支持をも得てその勢力を拡大し，17～18世紀，一般にカシュガル･ホジャ家と呼ばれるこの教団の指導者たちの一族は，宗教面のみならず，政治･経済面でもハーンと並ぶほどの実力を発揮したとも伝えられる。…

…しかしトゥグルク･ティムール･ハーン(在位1346‐63)の時代にイスラム化すると，王族はしだいに定住民化し，また15世紀の中葉以降，草原地帯にカザフ，ウズベク，オイラートなど新たな遊牧勢力が勃興すると，ハーン国の部民の多くがこれらの新勢力に合流したため，ハーン国は急速に弱体化した。ハーンをはじめとする支配者たちは，遊牧地帯を捨ててタリム盆地の定住地帯に移住し，16世紀初頭には，トゥルファン･ハーン国，カシュガル･ハーン国を形成し，16世紀末までには後者が前者を併合した。【間野英二】。…
