This dissertation tells the story of what happened to Jungar refugees on the Qing empire's Kazakh frontier in the years immediately following the collapse of the Jungar confederation, 1759-1773. Narratives of violence have dominated the historiography on the fall of the Jungars. Nearly every history of the Jungars' demise highlights the Qing's violent massacres against the Jungar people, with several works even asserting these massacres were tantamount to "genocide." Based on a large corpus of previously unstudied Manchu documents, this dissertation moves beyond historical narratives that view the Jungar collapse solely through the lens of Qing violence by highlighting the important historical role that Jungar refugees played in the years following the disintegration of the Jungar state. The dissertation makes three main arguments. First, it argues that Jungar refugees were essential agents in the making of Qing empire on the frontier, serving the Qing as fonts of information on the geography and politics of Central Eurasia, as translators, map-makers, and even as spies. Second, this dissertation demonstrates that the Qing court continued to worry about the threat that Jungar refugees posed to Qing rule in the Jungar lands. The Qing's public proclamations stressed the completeness and finality of the Qing's victory, but the Qianlong emperor and his closest advisors privately worried that Jungar refugees could foment a rebellion against Qing rule over a decade after the Jungar confederation's demise. Third, this dissertation places the fall of the Jungars into the broader context of Central Eurasian history. Previous histories of the Jungar collapse take a "Qing-centric" perspective that views the fall of the Jungars solely in terms of the longstanding Qing-Jungar conflict. This dissertation argues that any consideration of the fate of Jungar refugees must take into account the legacy of a century of violence and warfare between the Jungars and their enemy in the west, the Kazakhs. The echoes of the Kazakh-Jungar wars continued to reverberate in the decade after the fall of the Jungar state.
