In 1820, shortly after Samusak's death, Zhang Geer stepped up his pace of rebellion. With the support of the Khanate of the Kokhan Khanate, Zhang Geer gathered hundreds of people to attack the Qing Dynasty Karen (Border Defense Station). At that time, Sulanqi, the leader of the Kirgiz mountainous area of ​​the Kashgar border, reported the enemy situation to the Kashgar Counselor of Kashgar because of Zhang Geer's oppression. The Counselor of the Counselor of Kashgar was not cared about after hearing this. After hearing this, the Karen defenders of the Qing army called the police to him again, they felt that the situation was serious and hurriedly sent someone to report to General Ili.

At this time, Zhang Geer had led hundreds of people to successfully arrive in Tushkarun, only more than a hundred miles northwest of Kashgar. He burned and killed the enemy in the mountainous villages. Yin Debu, the deputy guard of the Qing army, was bravely killed.

After hearing the news, General Qingxiang of Yili went to Kashgar day and night to personally go to Kashgar. At the same time, the Kashgar assistant minister Sepu Zhenge also led his troops to the border to defend against the enemy. After encountering Zhang Geer's bandit gang, he won quickly. Zhang Geer led only more than 20 cavalry to flee back to Haohan.

The failure of his first card entry did not make Zhang Geer admit defeat. He continued to move around the border area, slapped the banner of "Descendants of Hoga" to attract some outlaws, accumulate food and ammunition, and occasionally harassed the Qing army Karen on a small scale.

In September 1822, Zhang Geer and his brother Babuding gathered more than 200 people, entered the border Alayi Ridge, and entered our Uruk Karen robbed, injured more than 30 Qing army officers and soldiers, and the guard Hua Sanbu was killed. Faced with the crisis, the Qing army guerrilla Liu Faheng led the Karen defenders to fight against the enemy. Zhang Geer and Babuding could not resist and retreated to the mountainous areas on the border.

While watching in the mountains, Zhang Geer had a sudden idea and sent people to the Kashgar Counselor and Minister of Counselor and asked the Qing Dynasty to sign Kashgar Khan Ailik back to Zhuang as his hereditary territory, so he stopped causing trouble. Yongqin, Counselor of Kashgar, had already discovered that the Kokhan Khanate would send thousands of troops to help Zhang Geer seize Kashgar. Zhang Geer's move was just an attempt to win time by deceiving surrender.

In order to completely wipe out the Zhang Geer bandits, after receiving the border reports, Daoguang asked Qingxiang to sternly refute Zhang Geer's unreasonable request, and at the same time ordered the Kashgar Counselor Yongqin to attack as soon as possible.

On October 3, 1822, Yongqin led 300 troops to the Muji area on the border to suppress the enemy. Unexpectedly, Zhang Geer had already escaped first and rushed out of the border gate. Seeing that the reinforcements that the Haohanguo agreed to send were delayed, he had to continue recruiting troops and prepare for a larger-scale military invasion in the area of ​​Jinshan District, Kelati.

In order to prevent Zhang Geer from joining Kashgar again, the Qing court began to strengthen border preparations in Kashgar. In November 1822, the Kashgar Counselor Yongqin died of illness. In January of the following year, the Qing court sent General Qingxiang, Yili, to serve as the Kashgar Counselor. By March, 500 soldiers and 500 war horses were transferred to Kashgar to strengthen defense.

One night on July 18, 1823, Zhang Geer led more than 200 party members and more than 60 Anjiyan soldiers led by Aisha, a dismissal officer of the Kokhan Khanate, to enter Kazakhstan for the third time. They drove into Qishan and bypassed the Qing army Karen at the fastest speed, occupying Atushi, more than 40 kilometers north of Kashgar.

In the Karakhan Dynasty Sotuk; next to the tomb of Bugra Khan, Zhang Geer announced to the people that his purpose of this trip was to go to Apakhogamaza, Kashgar, to worship the spirits of the ancestors in heaven. As soon as the news spread, many believers in Baishan Sect believed it and rushed to Atush to pay homage to Zhang Geer one after another.

At the same time, the Kashgar Counselor Qingxiang heard the news and quickly ordered the assistant minister Shurhashan and the leader Wulinga and others to lead their troops to Atushi to encircle and suppress. Zhang Geer hurriedly brought troops to more than a thousand people to fight. These untrained rebels were defeated in a battle. Zhang Geer immediately turned around and ran away, first retreating eastward to Kashgar, and then quietly detoured westward to 5 kilometers east of Kashgar City, occupying the Apakhoga Cemetery.

Upon hearing the news, Qing Yang sent more than a thousand Qing soldiers to surround the Apakhoga Cemetery. At this time, Zhang Geer had sent people to mingle into Kashgar City and colluded with the Inner Respondents to launch a rebellion. The rebels rushed out of the east gate and formed another encirclement on the periphery of the Qing army. The Qing army was attacked by inside and outside and was at a clear disadvantage. On a night of thunderstorms, Zhang Geer successfully broke through.

In just a few days, Zhang Geer frantically incited religious sentiment and national hatred, and constantly recruited troops to strengthen the offensive. The Qing army's defense line near Kashgar was no longer able to maintain. Generals such as Shurhashan, Wulinga, and even the former acting Kashgar Counselor Mukdenbu, all died heroically one after another. The remnants of the Qing army were led by Qingxiang to retreat to Seoul City of Kashgar. Since then, the Qing army in Yingjishar, Yarkand, Khotan and other places were surrounded by Zhang Geer's rebels. At this time, because he heard that Zhang Geer had succeeded, the Kokhan Khanate was invited to send 3,900 invading troops to try to equalize Zhang Geer. As a result of the two bandits joining forces, the southwestern edge of the Tarim Basin was trapped in a fire of gunpowder.

Since the 18th century, British imperialism has begun to extend its tentacles of its power to Tibet and Xinjiang, and actively searched and cultivated agents. When Zhang Geer was studying in Kabul in his early years, he had contacts with British spies. When Zhang Geer joined the Card this time, more than 20 British agents followed him, not only acting as political and military advisers for him, but also being responsible for delivering a large number of European-style armies to him. In formulating aggression plan and training rebels, these British spies spared no effort. According to Western historical records, five of this group of spies were dressed in local people's clothing and followed Zhang Geer every day. It was precisely because the Kokand ruling group and British imperialism supported Zhang Geer and made accomplices that Zhang Geer's rebellion could spread rapidly in a short period of time.

On July 22, 1823, Zhang Geer saw that the Qing army had retreated into Seoul to defend, so he personally led his troops to attack and return to the city. The guards in the city were Kashgar Uyghur Akimu Bokemaysati and former Kashgar Akimu Boke County King Yunus. The two of them mobilized thousands of Uyghur residents and soldiers to fight to the death with the enemy. They fought bloody battles for four days and four nights. The city gate was blown open by the enemy. The two of them died at the same time. Thousands of Uyghur soldiers and civilians died in the enemy's butcher knife.

The Uyghur warriors who died in battle left their unyielding figures and bloody charm in the history of Kashgar.

After Zhang Geer captured and returned to the city, in order to preserve his strength, he pushed the task of attacking Seoul to the Kokhan invading army, who was eager to compete for his achievements. He promised that after the matter was completed, Kashgar could be ceded as a gift and could also divide the stolen goods obtained by other cities. The leader of the Kokhan army was overjoyed and was eager to obtain the so-called underground treasures that Poroni buried in "Gulebag" (that was Seoul at that time). At the same time, he easily believed the vulnerable nonsense of the Qing army, so he led 3,000 soldiers and generals under his command under Seoul.

When the Kokan army launched the offensive first, General Qing Yang, who was guarding the city, led more than a thousand Qing soldiers and civilians from various provinces in the mainland, rushed out of the city to fight with the enemy. He killed more than 800 enemy troops in one battle, and countless others were injured. The Kokan army retreated in a miserable defeat.

At this time, Zhang Geer took action personally. He failed to attack with water first, and then used tunnel tactics. After dozens of days of fierce battle, he finally attacked Seoul on September 26. General Qingxiang, the counselor of Kashgar, vowed not to surrender, and drew his sword and committed suicide to serve the country.

The next day, Zhang Geer led a large army into the city and declared himself "Sayed; Zhang Geer; Sultan" (i.e. "King Zhang Geer, descendant of the saint"). Soon, all places south of Kashgar fell into the hands of Zhang Geer.

The poor people of Kashgar who were bullied and exploited by local corrupt officials of the Qing Dynasty and Uyghur Burke for many years, especially the believers of the original Baishan Sect, had some fantasies about this so-called "descendants of Hokar" in the early days of Zhang Geer's rebellion and were deceived under the domination of simple religious feelings.

But once Zhang Geer held great power, he began to indulge the Kokan invading army and his confidants and looted the locals. As recorded in the historical records of the Qing Dynasty, "abuse women and search for property. Their tyranny was even more than ten thousand times that of the previous Hezhuo (note: "Hoga")." Moreover, whenever he fought against the Qing army, Zhang Geer used the Kokan army to supervise the battle, allowing the poor people to come forward and die, and he enjoyed the benefits of a fisherman. In this way, Zhang Geer began to lose his positive image in the hearts of the locals, and the constant wars made the locals even more poor, and the local people no longer supported Zhang Geer's rebels as they did at the beginning of the rebellion.
