Ling Conquest of Southern Xinjiang

Was the war in which Ling restored Chinese control in Southern Xinjiang and defeated the islamist rebels in the region and also in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan.

Until the conquest, the Uyghur territory in Southern Xinjiang (known in Chinese as Nanjiang) had been filled with Uyghur islamists who took opportunity of the Chinese civil war to make insurgencies.

The Chinese had alliance with some Uyghurs, and promised to give them back their autonomous region in exchange of their support to fight against the islamists. One Uyghur battallion was formed known as "the wolves", they were led by a man named Shohrat Bahtiyar who later became the leader of the Uyghur autonomous region. The Chinese also formed other militias, mostly made by Tibetans and Oirats to fight against the islamists.

The wolves and allied militias cracked down on the islamists in a brutal campaign through Southern Xinjiang, they also fought against Turanists. There, the Islamic Caliphate of Central Asiaball made a call to unite fighters from other countries in order to beat the Chinese and the Uyghur traitors. The conflict worried everyone around as its instability could have spillovers in Afghanistab, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrzgystan and Kazakhstan.

And as such, islamist uprisings in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan started out of it, later, Kazakh and Uzbek terrorists started to infiltrate in China in order to help islamist Uyghurs. To solve the problem, the Ashgabat Groupball signed a protocol with the Chinese about forming an united army to crackdown on the activities of the Islamic Caliphate of Central Asiaball once and for all.

The pact gave origin to stability in Central Asia, the islamists were defeated and Ling assumed control of Uyghur territories in Southern Xinjiang. Russian Greater SFSRball (Ling's ally) along with China did a great job patrolling the borders, preventing other islamist rebels from infiltrating, attacking or rebelling in China.
