   • 1878, Demetrius Charles Boulger, The Life of Yakoob Beg; Athalik Ghazi and Badaulet; Ameer of Kashgar‎^[1], London: Wm. H. Allen & Co., page 238:

     Although several officers in the service of Yakoob Beg happened to be in the city, and several of the leading Tungani resided there, the defence was not prolonged, and after a few days Urumtsi surrendered to the Chinese. Many of the inhabitants had fled to the neighbouring city of Manas, but the garrison was massacred by order of the Chinese generals.

     From Manas to Urumtsi we began to strike more tillage and fertility. Maize, wheat, and rice were growing, but rather low and thin.

   • 1907, Major C. D. Bruce, Chinese Turkestan‎^[3], London: Central Asian Society, page 15:

     The garrisons vary in nominal number, from the 3,000 at Urumtsi to a few score at such places as Toksu, Koria, and the frontier post of Tashkurgan towards the Pamirs. In actual numbers they vary still more. At Kiria the Amban himself informed me that the garrison consisted of one liang of infantry, 500 men, and some ma-ping, cavalry.
