Expansion during the rule of Akbar the Great in the Mughal Empire.

January 1566: Yarkent Khan Abdurashid spent his reign fighting the Kyrgyz people and the Kazakhs, who made incursions on the Ili region and Issyk Kul. He was ultimately unsuccessful in preventing the Kyrgyz-Kazakhs from seizing the Ili region.
January 1585: In 1584, Abdullah Khan, the ruler of the Khanate of Bukhara, seized control of Badakhshan, a region located in present-day Afghanistan and Tajikistan. This marked a significant expansion of the Khanate's territory in Central Asia.
