As soon as Mirza Aba Bakr heard of this, he built the citadel of Kashghar in seven days, and placed in it one thousand horse and foot, with provisions for several years, giving his own son Yusfan command over them. Then, having settled whatever business he had there as best he could, he started for Yangi-Hissar, which he also supplied with provisions, arms, and siege implements, and finally went on to Yarkand. In the meanwhile the Khan reached Atu Bum Bashi, which is one of the frontiers of Moghulistan on the side of Kashghar. Leaving his family and baggage there, to follow slowly after, he marched forward with an unencumbered army. On the first night he encamped at a place called Mirzi Turki; on the second day he halted at Tushku, arriving at Artuj on the third day, and there he performed the circuit \[tawaf\] of the shrine of Shaikh Habib, an eminent Shaikh. The miracle is recorded of him that in building the monastery, one of the beams \[chub\] was found too short, and that he pulled it, and extended it \[to the required length\]. This beam \[the Khan\] saw, and having repeated verses from the Koran and uttered prayers, he begged that he might profit by the spirit of the Shaikh. - [Previous: 156](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.156) - [Next: 157.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.157.2) - [Up: 157](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.157) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.157.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.157.1) · Pramāṇa
