No man's land
As a result of Dzungars destruction the area became a No man's land, Qing China had to deal with consistent cross-border immigration of Kazakh people. In 1766, Qianlong Emperor ordered to accommodate Kazakh people in Talas area within the border and settled them properly. The area was promptly populated by Kazakh. In fact, the entire Xinjiang was populated by Kazakh during the period as the aboriginal western Mongols of Dzungars were eliminated by Qing in earlier years.
