Army Organization
The Principality of Xinjiang uses the same basic military organization of all the other Mongol states. The striking arm of the army is the horse cavalry, organized in 10,000 man units called Tumans, each subdivided into ten 1,000 man pulks. Most Tumans have several batteries of artillery, usually black powder, but increasingly more modern captured Japanese or Roman weapons. Current estimates are that the noyon has a single tuoman of mixed ethnicity. In addition he has a number of cavalry brigades formed from his Uighur subjects and mercenaries. Xinjiang also fields large numbers of garrison infantry troops, mainly town dwelling Han Chinese.
Military Equipment
Troops of the first guards pulk of the Touman of Death are armed with refurbished Soviet AKs and a mixture of submachine guns, the other pulks with rifle-muskets. The mercenary and Uighur cavalry brigades are armed with about 50% bolt action rifles, mainly recently captured Japanese 6.5mm models, and 50% with black powder carbines. All brigades have a battery of muzzle loading guns. All Mongol Army horsemen except for the mercenaries carry bows, swords, and lances in addition to their regular arms. The garrison infantry are armed with black powder rifle muskets of Mongolian make.
Economy
The Mongols are great traders when they aren't plundering others.
