His uncles, however, with their dependents, and some of his father's likewise, fled from his territory farther to the east, to the borders of Chin, and sought protection from the Malik of the Tatar I-mak. He aided them with his forces, and they marched against Aghuz Khan, but, being filled with fear and terror of him, they were put to the rout. Aghuz Khan pursued them, and even penetrated to the frontiers of Chin, and subdued part of that clime likewise. How this will agree with the Chinese annals remains to be seen, but, as one of his uncles was named Kin Khan, this may possibly account for the Kin — who are styled “Kin Tartars,” but, perhaps, more correctly, should be Kin Mughals — in the farther east, who subsequently conquered Northern China. - [Previous: 246](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.246) - [Next: 247.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.247.2) - [Up: 247](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.247) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.247.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.247.1) · Pramāṇa
