The Qianlong Emperor moved the remaining Dzungar people to other places in China. He ordered the generals to kill all the Dzungar men in Barkol or Suzhou, and divided their wives and children among the Qing soldiers. Wei Yuan, said that about 50% of the Zunghar households were killed by smallpox, 20% fled to Russia , and 30% were killed by the army, except those that surrendered. Qianlong Emperor
