Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The Ti people are the third largest ethnic group in Afghanistan, and, according to research, they are the descendants of the garrison troops left by Genghis Khan and his descendants in Afghanistan after their Western expeditions.  The Hazara people also use the Chinese zodiac, and to some extent, the Hazara people are very close to the Chinese.

    However, the situation of the Hazaras in Afghanistan is very miserable. The Pashtuns occupy the most fertile and fertile areas of Afghanistan. Other ethnic groups are oppressed by them. Among them, the Hazaras are the most oppressed.

    Since the formation of the modern Afghan state in the mid-18th century, the Hazaras have been repeatedly persecuted by the Pashtuns, the largest ethnic group in Afghanistan. Many people have been forced to flee to the mountains in central Afghanistan from various places.  This area is now called Hazarajat.

    With Bamiyan as the center, the Hazarajat Mountains span across many provinces of Afghanistan and account for 30% of the territory of Afghanistan.  In Dost.  Muhammad.  During the Barakzai dynasty ruled by Khan, the Hazaras living in Hazaraghat were taxed heavily.  However, during this period the Hazaras were still able to enjoy partial local autonomy.  To his grandson Abdul.  Rahman.  During the period when Khan was the emir, some Hazaras supported Abdul.  Rahman's uncle was killed by Abdul.  Rahman used military means to suppress it.

    In 1893, the Hazaras rebelled again and unexpectedly regained most of Hazarajat. However, they ran out of ammunition and food and were eventually defeated again by Abdul.  Rahman suppressed.  During this period, half of the Hazaras were killed, and many Hazaras had their property robbed by the Pashtuns, forcing them to live in major cities looking for ways to make a living.  Abdul.  Rahman's brutal rule over the Hazaras caused long-term ethnic hatred between Hazaras and Pashtuns in later generations.

    After the Chinese Empire was established and rapidly rose to become a major power in the world.  The Hazaras sent people all the way to China to seek help.  Officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs received these Hazaras from Afghanistan, but did not take them too seriously.  After all, the Hazaras are just a small ethnic group with a population of several hundred thousand.  For the huge Chinese empire, this is nothing.  Fortunately, Wu Tingfang, who was still serving as Minister of Foreign Affairs at the time, accidentally learned of this incident and reported it to the Emperor Wang Yuze.  Wang Yuze was very interested in the Hazara people. He specially asked people to conduct research on the history of the Hazara people. After learning that these Hazaras were really the descendants of Genghis Khan and his descendants, Wang Yuze immediately instructed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to take action.  Ensure Hazara interests in Afghanistan.

    At that time, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs made a solemn protest to King Habibullah Khan of Afghanistan and warned him not to persecute the Hazaras. If the persecution of the Hazaras happens again in Afghanistan, China will take military action in Afghanistan.  To punish Afghanistan!  At the beginning, Habibullah Khan did not take China's warning seriously, or he thought that although China was powerful, it was too far away from Afghanistan. Even though China had occupied an important position, most of China's troops stationed in Central Asia  There is no threat to Afghanistan on the side close to Russia.  In addition, Habibullah Khan has a close relationship with the United Kingdom. With the help of the British government, he established a new army of 100,000 people, which is quite arrogant.

    In May 1903, the persecution of Hazaras broke out in Afghanistan again, and thousands of Hazaras were killed by Pashtuns.  The Chinese government immediately issued an ultimatum to Afghanistan and Habibullah Khan, demanding that Habibullah hand over the murderers of the Hazara people and compensate the Hazara people.  However, Habibullah Khan, relying on the support of the British, rejected China's request. Not only did he not stop persecuting the Hazara people, but he intensified it.

    Three days later, China announced sanctions against Afghanistan.  An infantry division and a cavalry brigade were mobilized from China's 5th Group Army in Central Asia. The five ethnic groups in Central Asia also responded to China's call and sent as many as 50,000 cavalry troops to invade Afghanistan from northern Afghanistan.  Afghan troops block the invasion of Chinese troops along the Panchi River.  However, this battle taught the Afghans a profound lesson. As many as 50,000 Afghan troops were surrounded and annihilated. The 5th Cavalry Brigade of the Chinese Army also used cavalry units from the five ethnic groups in Central Asia to even bypass the Hindu Kush Mountains and reach Kabul.  Under the city.  Habibullah Khan panicked and asked China for forgiveness.  At the same time, move the British masters out and ask them to mediate.

    Originally, China planned to overthrow the rule of Habibullah Khan, but the British claimed that Afghanistan was an important British colony and China could not invade Afghanistan.  Considering that China is continuing its strength and its rapid development cannot be interrupted by external wars.  Therefore, we agreed to negotiate with Afghanistan.  Finally, the Chinese army withdrew from Afghanistan after Habibullah Khan promised not to persecute the Hazaras again and paid huge compensation to the Hazaras.

    Since then, Habibullah Khan no longer dared to blatantly harass the Hazaras, but he also secretly made things difficult for the Hazaras.  It's just that it's done secretly, and China can't get involved.  But?Given the importance of Afghanistan's geographical location, it can be regarded as an important barrier for India.  Therefore, China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Military Intelligence have increased their penetration in Afghanistan.  This infiltration is not limited to the Hazaras, but also to the more populous Tajiks, as well as the smaller Uzbeks and Turkmens.  These three ethnic groups, because several ethnic groups in Central Asia have established their own countries with the support of China, are essentially pro-China. China's penetration in northern Afghanistan has achieved great results.  Effect.  In order to enhance the strength of these Afghan ethnic minorities, China has secretly provided these ethnic minorities with a large amount of weapons and equipment. Although they are some rifles, machine guns and mortars that have been replaced by the Chinese Army, the number of them is very small, but it also makes these ethnic minorities  The nation's military strength has been greatly improved.  They have been fighting against the Afghan government in the past, but they have been suppressed because their weapons are too crude.  With China's support, each tribe formed its own tribal armed forces. They continued to fight against the Pashtuns, causing instability in Afghanistan and making Habibullah Khan worried about this.

    This also made Habibullah more determined to lean towards the British. He knew that without British support, China would definitely support those ethnic minorities to subvert his rule.  Only with British patronage could he perhaps maintain his rule.  However, China later defeated the British and French coalition forces again in the Middle East War, which made Habibullah Khan feel deeply afraid. Fortunately, China was preparing for a world war at the time and did not take action against Afghanistan.  Otherwise, his rule would have been ended long ago.  This time China officially launched an attack on India, and Afghanistan was the first target to be solved.

    The defeated remnants of the British-Indian Army led by Lieutenant General Airdrie, commander of the 23rd Group Army of the British-Indian Army, were intercepted by Hazara tribal armed forces in Pulhumli.  After China began to launch a war against India, these Afghan ethnic groups who had good relations with China immediately took action. A large number of young people took up arms and began to attack the British and Indian troops, or lead the way for the Chinese troops.  After all, when fighting in an unfamiliar area, if you are led by a guide, you will get twice the result with half the effort when chasing the enemy.

    More than 5,000 Hazara armed forces guarded the road from Pulhumli to the Hindu Kush Mountains.  Because the roads in the mountains are relatively narrow, although the British and Indian troops led by Lieutenant General Airdrie have more than 20,000 troops, they still have no way to deal with the 5,000 Hazara people.  At the same time, the Chinese army that was chasing Lieutenant General Airdrie was also speeding up after receiving the news.

    "Damn it, attack, kill all those natives!" Lieutenant General Airdrie was on a mound, watching the attacking British and Indian soldiers being suppressed outside the valley, and was very angry.  He suffered a big setback in this battle. Half a million British Indian troops were wiped out by the first group of the Chinese Army in a few days. Only tens of thousands of defeated soldiers were left and fled in all directions. It was still unclear whether they could escape back to India.  It can be known.  Originally, he would be able to enter the Hindu Kush Mountains soon. As long as he escaped deep into the mountains, he could escape the pursuit of the Chinese army.  Although it will definitely be very difficult and costly to cross the Hindu Kush Mountains, at least you won't have to be captured by the Chinese and enter a Chinese prisoner-of-war camp again.  However, at the last critical moment, these Afghan tribal armed forces actually made things difficult for them and blocked their escape route. This made Lieutenant General Airli furious.

    Although the Indian Asan also tried his best to escape, the Hazara people occupied the first position in the valley. Although their weapons and equipment were cruder than those of the British and Indian troops, they resisted to the death.  attacked by the British and Indian troops.  These Hazaras were very brave. Although they suffered heavy casualties, they still persevered.  They know that there is no idiot's lunch in the world, and if they want to gain China's support and overthrow the rule of Habibullah Khan, they have to make contributions.

    And this time, it is an excellent opportunity.  Under the orders of the tribal elders, these Hazara boys fought very tenaciously.

    A few hours later, the Chinese Army chasing the British and Indian troops arrived on the battlefield.  Their participation in the battle completely ended the fate of the British and Indian troops.  Under the fierce attack of the Chinese army, the British and Indian troops were either killed on the spot, or had to kneel down and surrender. Lieutenant General Airdry once again walked into the Chinese army's prisoner of war camp!
