Five years later (1504) Ahmad died, and a struggle for the succession to the Khanate took place among his sons. The eldest, by name Man-su-rh (Mansur), got the upper hand, declared himself Sultan, and began at once to despatch tribute to Peking. In 1513 the subordinate Prince of Hami, Bai-yasi by name, made over his province to Mansur, who soon afterwards began to make incursions on Chinese territory proper, by invading Su-chou and Kan-chou. Whether he obtained any but a mere temporary hold on these districts is not apparent, but he is related to have had dissensions with the Chinese, on subjects connected with Hami, till his death in 1545. He was succeeded by his son, Sha—i.e., Shah Khan. - [Previous: 9.2.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.9.2.4) - [Next: 9.2.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.9.2.6) - [Up: 9.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.9.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.9.2.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.9.2.5) · Pramāṇa
