The Rashīdī History 94.3

94.3

Mir Jabar Birdi led the Mirza's army against Bai and Kusan, making several raids into those territories, and carrying off the horses. When he calculated that the Mirza had arrived in Kashghar, he abandoned the army of the Mirza, which, frustrated and disappointed, returned to Kashghar, while Mir Jabar Birdi remained in the province of Aksu. These events were disastrous to Mansur Khan, and his position became very weak. He repented of having persecuted [attempted to take the life of] Mir Jabar Birdi, who was his maternal uncle, the brother of his mother Sahib Daulat Begum. In the meantime, news of Mir Jabár Birdi reached him. He thereupon sent messengers to him, offering apologies. Having made a covenant with him, he brought him back and bestowed upon him even greater favours than his father, Sultán Ahmad Khán, had done before him.
