The Akbarī Generations 1.5.2

1.5.2

After this Mirza Yadgar Nasir crossed the river, and paid a visit to the royal camp. After much consultation it was resolved that the Mirza should be left at Bakhar, and that His Majesty should march on to effect the conquest of Tatta. But the Mirza did not show any signs of concord and friendliness. When the Emperor marched for Tatta, a large body of soldiers parted from him and stayed at Bakhar. Mirza Yadgar Nasir remained at Bakhar, and increased his forces, because during that year no heavenly or terrestrial evil had befallen the agriculture of Bakhar. His Majesty now proceeded by means of boats to the fort of Sihwan. A party of soldiers on board of the boats, as they came near to the fort, landed and attacked a body of men who had come out of the fort, and drove them in again.
