Qocho

Qocho was a Buddhist Uyghur kingdom of the Turpan oasis, with winter and summer seats at Qocho and Beshbalik.

The kingdom aligned with the Yuan against the Chagatai khans; when Chagatai power reached the oases in the fourteenth century, the court of the idiqut, the Uyghur ruler, moved east into Yuan territory. Khizr Khoja, Chagatai khan from 1389 to 1399, campaigned in Qocho and Turpan, where the last Buddhist Uyghurs were forcibly converted to Islam.
