In its administration of Huibu, present south Xinjiang, the Qing adopted the Beg system, which involved appointment of an influential Turkic Muslim as a bureaucrat to carry out indirect rule. The Kashgar Khwaja family, descendants of Makhdum-i A'zam, launched repeated campaigns into Huibu from the 1820s to the 1850s in order to recover the territory that had formerly been theirs. This article examines the defense organized by the Begs in Kashgar against the campaign of "the Seven Khwajas." The study shows that with the support of Qing troops under the command of Zuhur al-Din, the Hakim Beg at Kashgar, the Begs led by the Turfan junwang family took countermeasures against the Khwaja family, which had a strong influence on this area. This was done by mobilizing Turkic Muslim troops, the Begs' own military power, and gaining the cooperation of the Akhunds, an anti-Khwaja family. However, the Begs failed in their defense. Their actions were limited. The author argues that the defensive action of the Begs played only a secondary role in the broader defensive strategy of the Qing.
