This Mirza Aba Bakr was of the line of Dughlat Amirs, and was regarded by the Khans of Moghulistan as a usurper. He was an active and able soldier, though a cruel tyrant, and during his long rule, had made himself master of nearly the whole of Eastern Turkistan, besides several of the neighbouring countries. In 1511 he had invaded Farghana, but had there received a check by coming into conflict with Sultan Said, from whose forces he experienced a severe defeat at the battle of Tutluk, near Andijan. It was this victory over the usurper, that emboldened Sultan Said and his Amirs to attack him again in his own stronghold. Their enterprise resulted in a complete success: Kashghar was taken in 1514, while Yangi-Hisar, Yarkand, and the remainder of the cities of Eastern Turkistan fell shortly afterwards. Aba Bakr, driven an exile to Ladak, was murdered on the road, and the line of Moghul Khans was re-established in Moghulistan and Eastern Turkistan. Mirza Haidar, though now only fifteen years of age, was raised by his cousin the Khan to a high position, and his life of activity may be said to have begun about this time. - [Previous: 3.3.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.3.3.2) - [Next: 3.3.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.3.3.4) - [Up: 3.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.3.3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.3.3.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.3.3.3) · Pramāṇa
