On August 28,1933, representatives of Khoja Niyas Hajji, who were bitterly anti-Tungan, but conciliatory towards the Han Chinese, arrived at Kashgar Old City and conveyed message from Khoja Niyas to all rebel forces in the Kashgar Old City that New City of Kashgar, with its important Arsenal and Treasury, should be captured from Ma Zhancang's Tungan forces as swiftly as possible. As result, attacks on the besieged Ma Zhancang's garrison were resumed by the former Timur Beg's troops, now being reorganized under command of Tawfiq Bey, and by Kirghiz troops under command of Osman Ali.
