The Tarikh-i-Rashidi (Elias, Ross) 71 - **Language:** English ### [71](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.71) When Yunus Khan was sent back by Sultan Abu Said into Moghulistan, he was, on his arrival in that country, again joined by all the Amirs; he remained there some time, his headquarters being generally Yatikand. He was not, however, able to enter the territory of Isan Bugha Khan. When the latter and Amir Sayyid Ali died, Dust Muhammad Khan became padishah, and was joined in Aksu by Muhammad Haidar Mirza, while Saniz Mirza, who had been at enmity with Muhammad Haidar Mirza, attached himself to Yunus Khan, to whom he was of great service. Yunus Khan entered Kashghar several times, but the Amirs of Moghulistan refused to stay there, so the Khan was always compelled to withdraw. This happened several times, but I will not give any details, as it would take too long, and the accounts I have heard differ considerably. The substance of the whole matter is that the Khan was very fond of cities and houses, but the Amirs and soldiers of Moghulistan always avoided the towns, and for this reason the Khan spent most of his time in Moghulistan. When Saniz Mirza died, the Khan was joined by Muhammad Haidar Mirza. A short time after this, Dust Muhammad Khan also died, whereupon Yunus Khan entered Aksu and subdued the subjects of Dust Muhammad Khan, while the son of this latter, Kabak Sultan Oghlan, was seized by some of his well-wishers, who fled with him to Turfan. Yunus Khan wished to dwell in Aksu. In comparison with Moghulistan, Aksu is like a town; but he concluded, from the manner of the Moghuls, that if he stayed there much longer, they would all go over to the side of Kabak Sultan Oghlan, so he was compelled to call together all his tribesmen and return with them to Moghulistan. At this time Amdsánji Táishi, son of Isan Taishi (whom I have mentioned in connection with Vais Khan) came to Moghulistan. For Isan Taishi had given him \[in marriage\] Makhtum Khanim, sister of Vais Khan, as a ransom for the Khán's life, and by her he \[Amdsánji Táishi\] had two sons and one daughter. When Vais Khán had bestowed his sister, he had obliged his brother-in-law to become a Musulmán, and they were married with Muhammadan rites. The Khánim caused all her following to become Musulmans, and named her two sons Ibrahim and Ilyas, and her daughter Kádir Bardi Mirzá, after Mir Karim Bardi. This conversion to Islám was the cause of a conflict between Ibráhim Ung and Ilyás Ung, on the one hand, and Amdsánji Táishi on the other. (In the language of the Kálmáks the son of a Khán is called " Ung.") Amdsánji fled before them into Moghulistán with thirty times 100,000 men, while it is stated, that eighteen times 100,000 stayed behind with Ibráhim Ung and Ilyás Ung. These two, however, quarrelled with the Khán of the Kálmáks, and therefore fled from that country into Khitái with 10,000 men. The rupture \[viráni\] between the brothers \[and Amdsánji\] took place before the death of Dust Muhammad Khán, which occurred in 873. The flight of Ibráhim Ung and Ilyás Ung into Khitái took place, probably, in 910 \[1504-5\]. These two both died in Khitái. Ibráhim left one son, Bábulái by name, whose descendants are still to be met with in that country, and who still bear the same name of Bábulái. Mansur Khán made a holy war \[ghazát\] against Khitái and came in contact with that very tribe (as will be mentioned shortly). But Amdsánji Táishi, having separated himself from Ibráhim Ung and Ilyás Ung, came to Moghulistán. Near the River Ailah he came upon and defeated Yunus Khán. In that fight many Moghul Amirs were killed . . . . and all the Moghul Ulus moved towards Turkistan, spending the winter at a place in Turkistan, on the banks of the Sihun, called Kara Tukai. Buruj Oghlan made a raid upon them, as will be hereafter related. - [Previous: 70](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.70) - [Next: 72](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.72) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.71](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.71) · Pramāṇa
