He seized and threw into prison Muhammad Mazid Tarkhán, who had been appointed Governor of Turkistán by Mirzá Sultán Ahmad; and this Muhammad Mazid Tarkhán was one of the principal causes of the peace, for he was a relation, on the mother's side \[tágái\], of Mirzá Sultán Ahmad. When the Khán conquered Turkistán, he had in his service Sháhi Beg Khán. As a reward for the services he rendered in the battle of the Chir (which has been described above), the Khán made over Turkistán to him; and on this account disagreement arose between the sons of Karái Khán and Jáni Beg Khán (of the Kazák) and Sultán Mahmud Khán, who had previously been on terms of friendship. \[They complained, saying:\] "Sháhi Beg Khán is our enemy; why did you send him to oppress us in Turkistán?" In a word, in consequence of this quarrel, between Sultán Mahmúd Khán and the Uzbeg Kazák, two battles took place, the Khán suffering defeat on both occasions. The cause of these defeats was that the most distinguished of his generals had left Yunus Khán. For the Khán had, in common with all who succeed to power, the defect of not knowing the value of men of worth, and \[of imagining\] that whomsoever they favour becomes, for that reason, a valuable man, which is, of course, impossible. - [Previous: 89](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.89) - [Next: 90.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.90.2) - [Up: 90](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.90) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.90.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.90.1) · Pramāṇa
