Other Info
Brief Description of your Economy: Lots of trade power, and a decent amount of trade goods. Overall production capacity is good, however they lack any huge centers of industry.
Goals: To expand the empire into the Caribbean, and perhaps look for colonial ventures in Africa as a way to boost the coffers.
History:
In early 1844, the Confederal Union of America seized the opportunity to annex Texas by joining the USCA in their war against Mexico. This ended with the Mexican-Confederal Treaty of 1848, in which Mexico ceded lands to the East of the Colorado river to the Union. Mexico also ceded lands to the USCA all the way up to the Yucatan. It was a crushing blow to national prestige, and the national economy, which Mexico sought to fix through African colonial ventures. However, little more then a few maritime slave businesses ever ended up opening, and it didn't help drag the economy out of the dirt. After the total failure of the monarchy to establish a functioning Mexican empire, it was decided that the current king (And his dynasty) be stripped of most power and an elected regent be put in place. This was met with hostility from nationalists and royalists who wished for power to remain with the monarchy, and so began the Mexican Civil war of 1850. There was minimal fighting other then one famous battle that took place on January 22, 1851 called the Battle for Puebla. In this battle a force of 16,000 counter-revolutionaries marched to take on the (Pro Democracy) government forces, number around 18,000. The battle took place over the course of 6 days and was the bloodiest moment in immediate Mexican history. Casualties for both sides numbered a total of about 6,000 with the counter revolutionaries defeated. After that a few years of peace have followed, and Mexico had it's 1st election under the 2nd empire in the winter of 1852. The economy is slowly recovering through trade, and the government shows no signs of hostility towards those that attacked the previous Mexican empire.....

Location/Claims: What remains of Turkey plus Bahrain, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, United Arab Emirates and, apparently, bits of North Africa up to and including Tunisia.
Capital City: Ankara
Government Info
Government Type: Absolute Monarchy
Brief Explanation of Government: The Ottoman Empire is run as an absolute monarchy led by the Sultan who is the most powerful person in the Empire. His will is enforced through the Grand Vizier who functions as a de facto Prime Minister and is always the representative of the Sultan at an official level. There is also the Caliph of Islam, who has no real political power but acts as the Spiritual Leader of all Muslims and presides over the Holy Trinity in Mecca, Medina and Jerusalem.
Ideology: Islamism and Pan-Ottomanism
Leader/s: Sultan Abdülmecid I, Grand Vizier Damat Mehmed Ali Pasha
Population Info
Brief Description of your people: The Ottoman Empire is a vast, multi-linguistic, multi-ethnic and multi-religious state.
Religion: Predominantly Islam, smaller populations of Christians and Jews.
Ethnicity: Roughly split between ethnic Turks in Anatolia and Arabs in the majority of the rest of the empire.
Main/Accepted Culture(s): Turkish.
Other Cultures: Arabic and Russian.
Military Info
Army: 300,000 total, 123-180,000 standing army.
Navy: 37 ships, 6,000 men.
Other Info
Brief Description of your Economy: Largely agrarian with little industry.
Goals: Reclamation of Istanbul and western provinces as well as Cyprus, Alexandria and the Sinai.
History: Faced with the failure of the Muslim armies to capture Jerusalem and Constantinople, much of the Arabian Peninsular and Anatolia was plunged into chaos. In the wake of the collapse of the Seljuk Sultanate in the east arose a new power. Under the rule of Osman I, the patchwork of states in Anatolia was under the control of the Ottomans. The final Anatolian conquest took place in 1406, with the new imperial capital, Ankara.
Several failed attempts at pushing the Greeks out of Anatolia itself and the failure to capture Constantinople heavily influenced the succession of Sultans between 1402 and 1453, with defeat after defeat. This resulted in much chaos and the near collapse of the empire. A civil war erupted between 1509 and 1513 which affected the Ottomans and their ability to hold the empire together.
With the ascent of Sultan Selim I to the throne, the Ottomans began their greatest expansion of their territories yet. Between 1513 and 1520, Selim I waged war against the Mameluks and succeeded in capturing Syria, Lebanon and Egypt but failed in his attempt to capture Israel and Palestine. His conquests also resulted in the addition of new territories in eastern Anatolia and northern Iraq. Selim's conquests in Arabia also granted him control over the two holiest sites in all of Islam: Mecca and Medina.
Selim I's successor, Suleiman, waged war against the Safavid Empire. He too was successful, seeing moderate gains in Tabriz and Azerbaijan as well as the capture of Baghdad. He also expanded into southern Georgia, creating a series of small forts. Huge expanses of territory in North Africa were also annexed, with the Barbary states in Tunisia and Tripolitania becoming part of the Empire.
The end of Suleiman's reign marked the end of the expansion of the Ottoman Empire. Before too long, the foothold in the Caucasus was lost to the Russians and portions of eastern Iraq was lost to the Persians in several successive wars. Several revolts and civil conflicts even saw the temporary loss of control of Mecca between 1802 and 1840. Troubling times lay ahead.

Haha no, you must have missed my post- the Khan's armies would have reached Kashgar only slightly behind the word of the invasion, so you would have been defending with whatever garrison was in place there.
Assuming that was a losing battle (likely, but probably worth RPing) your chain of command will be nicely decapitated in Xinjiang, and levying soldiers from Turkish peoples without your logistics network is going to be a nightmare. Not to mention more than half of the province will be occupied within the first month, when you're just starting to contemplate raising levies.
It isn't quite as simple as "I have three armies of 30,000". Not to mention there is no position, per se, for those armies to converge upon.

I see...
Damnit.
So if Kashgar had about 150,000 people (going by the current population of Kashgar and Xianjiang and the former population of Xianjiang) How much of a garrison was likely there? And how many levies do you think could have been brought to the city before you took/sieged it?
I shouldn't be asking this stuff but I have literally RPed ONE war in my life and it was two years ago.

I'd imagine you had a garrison of a few thousand (1-3) in the city of actual soldiers, plus maybe a thousand police/law officers. As far as levying soldiers in from the surrounding countryside, you might have had a few days warning, so a few hundreds more from the nearest garrisons of little farming towns. Somewhere in that vicinity.
