The former campaign had lasted a year, and the men through the length of the march were without accoutrements. After returning they had not had sufficient time to get money from their jagirs to replace their necessaries. His Majesty therefore issued money from the public treasury to the soldiers, and made liberal grants for procuring the materials of war. He sent Shuja'at Khan on in advance with his camp equipage, and he sent with it his horses under the charge of Khwaja Auka Khan. He personally enjoined the diwani officers to use the greatest despatch in outfitting the army. To expedite matters he on the same day sent the men of his advanced guard out of the city to join his camp equipage. He frequently said that although he was exerting himself in the organization and despatch of the army, no one would be ready sooner than himself to take his part in its work. - [Previous: 50.1.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.50.1.2) - [Next: 50.1.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.50.1.4) - [Up: 50.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.50.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.50.1.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.50.1.3) · Pramāṇa
