Zhangxin Qaghan


Zhangxin Qaghan was the eleventh ruler of Uyghurs. His personal name was Yaoluoge Hu. He succeeded his uncle in 833.

Reign

Chinese records state that he sent an embassy lead by Princess Taihe to Tang, accompanied with 7 women horse-archers and two Shatuo captives on 16 June 835.
His peace policy with China proved him an unpopular ruler. This led to a rebellion in 839 by the Sogdian official An Yunhe and Uyghur minister Chai Lei. Qaghan was able to defeat and kill them, but a subsequent battle against another Uyghur official, general Jueluowu along with the Shatuo chief Zhuye Chixin was lost. Zhangxin committed suicide following the battle. He was succeeded by Qasar Qaghan.
