Khojis

Uyghur Emir (died 1781)

Khojis (Chinese: 霍集斯, Huò jísī, ?-1781) was a Muslim Uyghur Emir, or hākim beg,^[2]ofUqturpan (also Us-Turfan, Chinese: 烏什, Wushi) in Xinjiang during the 18th century.

Khojis collaborated with Qing forces in the 1755-1757 Dzungar–Qing War, when he captured the Dzungar Khanate leader Dawachi as he fled into the mountains north of Aksu, and delivered him to the Qing.^[3][4]

Khojis again collaborated with the Qing in the Amursana rebellion (1757–1759) and in the suppression of the Muslim Revolt of the Altishahr Khojas (1757–1759).^[4] Khojis appears in a famous Qing Dynasty (平定伊犁回部戰圖冊·烏什酋長獻城降), arranging the surrender of the city of Uqturpan to Chinese Qing forces in 1758.

The Qianlong Emperor of the Qing rewarded Khojis with the title of Qinwang (亲王, "Prince"), and settled him in Beijing.^[2]
