He was defeated, made peace, and attended the conqueror to Dehly; and the other two chiefs submitted without a struggle. At this period, the zemindars of Etawa rose in arms, and ravaged Bilgirara and the adjacent districts. Nasir-ood-Deen marched against them in person, and having chastised them, levelled the fort of Etawa with the ground, after which, having proceeded by the route of Kunowj to Jalesur, he built a fort there, which he called Mahomedabad. Advices were now received from Dehly, that the Vizier, Islam Khan, having made preparations to retire to Lahore and Mooltan, intended to create a revolt in those provinces. The King hastened to the capital, and charged him with his treasonable designs. The Vizier was condemned to death on the evidence of his own nephew, Hajoo, a Hindoo, who swore falsely against him. Khwaja Jehan, who was thought to have promoted the Vizier's fall, was advanced to his office; and Mullik Mookurrib-ool-Moolk, who makes a figure in the next reign, was at the same time appointed governor of Mahomedabad. - [Previous: 44.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.44.6) - [Next: 44.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.44.8) - [Up: 44](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.44) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.44.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.44.7) · Pramāṇa
