Also on display here is a portrait of King Hami IX, and I would like to briefly introduce it to you.
The first Hui king, Ebedura, was sentenced to the son of the leader of the Dzungar rebellion, Erdan, and dedicated his merits to the Qing government. Officially named by the Kangxi Emperor as "Hami Huibu First Class Zasakda Khan", he raised the banner of safeguarding the reunification of the motherland, which was recognized by the Qing government. After returning from the capital, he built this royal palace according to the style of the Forbidden City.
When he returned to Beijing, he offered local specialties. After eating it, the emperor praised it and named it cantaloupe, so "the melon is named after the place, and the land is smelled by the melon".
The second Hui king, Guo Pa baike Ebedura, reigned for only two years before he died of illness.
During his 28-year reign, the third hui king, Ermin, vigorously developed electric fields and raised grain to help the army. He fought against foreign invasions, gave great support to the Qing government, and had visited the two emperors, Kang Yan and Yongzheng.
The fourth Huiwang Yusufu, because of his active support for the Qing government, safeguarding the reunification of the motherland, and opposing national separatism, made outstanding achievements and was trusted by the Qing government. In the twenty-second year of Qianlong (1757), the Rebellion of Great and Small and Zhuo broke out in Xinjiang, in order to actively assist the Qing government in quelling the rebellion, Yu Sufu took the initiative to ask for war, and the army of the Prince's Palace participated in the suppression of the rebellion in southern Xinjiang, and the battle achievements were outstanding, and the Qianlong Emperor was touched by his loyalty and rewarded him with the rank of county king. This is the first "Hui Wang" in the legal sense, and there are his martial statues and praises among the fifty heroes of the Purple Light Pavilion in the Forbidden City.
During the reign of The Fifth Hui King Isaac and the Sixth Hui King Erdsil, there were no major achievements.
The seventh Hui king Bersier, reigned for 53 years, was the longest term of Hui king, tongzhi six years (1867), Hami a peasant revolt, at a critical moment, Bethir led the troops to a fierce battle, but finally because of the outnumbered, Hami fell, Bethir was captured, and killed by the rebel army. The Qing government considered him to have sacrificed his life for the country, posthumously named him the Prince of Heshuo, rewarded him with 120,000 taels of silver, and built a tomb for him.
The eighth Hui king, Mehammet, was born paralyzed and unable to handle government affairs, and his mother Mairiba niu "listened to the government" and manipulated power, making positive contributions to the prosperity and development of Hami.
At the end of 1911, when the Qing government was already in the storm, he still wrote to beijing to meet him, and his loyalty to the Qing government, which was about to perish, was unable to accept it, so he had to refuse on the grounds that the road was not smooth. In the blink of an eye, the Qing Dynasty collapsed and the republic of China government was established, and he still entered the capital to meet Yuan Shikai, who gave him a first-class commendation and gave him a double fenglu in order to win over the princes and ministers in remote areas to support him in restoring the emperor. In 1935, the ninth Huiwang died of illness, the Xinjiang provincial government proposed to "change the land and return to the stream", the Hui royal territory and privileges were finally officially abolished, and the Hui royal system that ruled the Hami Uyghur people for 23 years also withdrew from the historical stage.
