He therefore set forth to attack Muhammad Kirghiz, whom he seized and threw into prison, where he remained for fifteen years. In 928 \[1522\] the Khán took his son Rashid Sultan into Moghulistan. He subdued the whole of Moghulistan and the Kirghiz, and a number of the people of Moghulistan supported Rashid Sultan. Finally, on account of the \[superiority of the\] Mangit, the Uzbeg Kazak, being no longer able to remain in the Dasht-i-Kipchak, came over into Moghulistan, to the number of 200,000 persons. It was impossible to resist them, so Rashid Sultan retired with his men to Kashghar. Meanwhile the Khan invaded Badakhshan, and conquered half of it, which is, to this day, subject to the government of Kashghar. This is a long story. The disputes that arose out of the claims to its inheritance made by Shah Begum (who has been mentioned) are related in Part II. of this History. The Khan twice invaded Badakhshan, once in the year 925 and again in 936 \[1519 and 1529-30\]. In the year 934 the Khan sent me, with Rashid Sultan, to Balur, which is a country of infidels \[Kafiristan\] between Badakhshan and Kashmir, where we conducted successfully a holy war \[ghazat\] and returned victorious, loaded with booty and covered with glory. - [Previous: 96.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.96.8) - [Next: 96.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.96.10) - [Up: 96](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.96) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.96.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.96.9) · Pramāṇa
