This article presents textual and visual evidence on the Qing conquest and its aftermath around 1760. It focuses on Khōjis (d. 1781), the previous ḥākim beg of Uch-Turfan, who sided with the Qing against the Dsungar rule, but also against the Altishahr Khōjas in their uprising between 1757 and 1759. He was presented as a “meritorious subject” by the Qing, as a collaborator by others, and his picture elicited sympathy by a sidelined political observer one hundred fifty years after the event.
