清末民初的新疆正值多事之秋,伊犁武装起义的成功震撼全省。新疆巡抚袁大化因省军军力不敷使用,饬令杨增新招练回军马队五营。杨增新却借机网罗了一批回族豪杰之士,将回军马队打造成近似于私家军队,并在回队和穆斯林政治集团的鼎力支持下,使用灵活的政治手腕,最终夺取新疆都督的宝座,由此拉开了杨增新时代的序幕。 Xinjiang at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China came at a time of trouble, and the success of the armed uprising in Yili shocked the whole province. Yuan Dahua, a governor of Xinjiang Province, was dispatched to return to the army’s five battalions because of the insufficient military use of the provincial military forces. Yang Zengxin took the opportunity to snatch a group of Hui gentry people, and made the return of the horse corps into a model similar to that of the private army. With the full support of the team members and Muslim political groups, he used flexible political tactics to eventually win the throne of the captaincy of Xinjiang, This opened the prelude to the era of Yang Zengxin.
