As some of the conspirators had not yet been brought to justice, such as Ughul Kuimish, the chief Khatun of Kyuk Khan, and Khwajah Aghul, her son, Mangu Ka'an was not yet safe from their designs, and he therefore despatched troops to compel the disaffected to submit. One army, said to have contained ten tomans, probably two, was despatched to the Ulug Tagh and to Tuljae and which lie between Bigh-Baligh and Kara-Kuram, with orders to join the Nu-yin Alghu, who was in the district of Kaialik, and to advance as far as the border of Utrar, and act in concert, and the Nu-yin, Buka, with two tomans, was despatched to Kirghiz or Kirakir and Kum-Kumjiut. The Chinese say that, in the year 1250 A.D. \[commencing on the 4th of April, 648 H.\], in the year of his accession to the throne, and about the same time, "as he put down the rebellion, Mengko ordered Holitay, one of his generals, to enter Tibbat, and to put to death all who refused to submit to the Mughals" \[to himself?\]. The Bitik-chi, Shalamun, was despatched to summon Ughul Kuimish Khatun, and her son, Khwajah. He proposed to put the envoy to death, but one of his Khatuns persuaded him against committing such an act, and advised his presenting himself, without delay, in the presence of the Ka'an. ### [286.3.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.286.3.2) Ughul Kuimish Khatun refused to obey the command of Mangu, and abused and upbraided him before his envoy. Mangu was much enraged when he heard of it, and commanded that she should be brought, with hands bound, to his mother's urdu to be tried. In due time Ughul Kuimish, the Khatun of Kyuk, and Kadakaj, the Khatun of Kothue, son of Uktae, the mother of Shiramun, and Tulbashi, the Khatun forces to be got ready, and moved out to meet and engage of Yassu-Munga, two sons of the Nu-yin, Ilchikdae, and the Christian, Kadak, the chief minister of Kyuk Khan, among others, were brought in, tried, and their guilt established, Shiramun’s mother and other Khatuns were sent to the Urdu of Siur Kukiti Bigi, Mangu’s mother, to be dealt with; and they were rolled up in felts, and drowned. The Shah-zadahs, Nu-yins, and Amirs, were beaten on their mouths with stones until they died. That they “were choked by having earth or stones forced into their mouths,” as we are informed in the “Mongols Proper,” is merely a wrong translation from some “muddy stream” Persian author \[or an incorrect translation from the foreign rendering of the Persian\], in which sang or has been mistaken for Buri, and some others, were sent to the presence of Batu Khan to be dealt with, and, their crime having been proved, they too were put to death. The Nu-yin, Ilchikdae, the destroyer of Hirat, and slayer of its inhabitants, was likewise seized at Badghais, and subsequently put to death. ### [286.3.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.286.3.3) No less than seventy-seven or seventy-eight members altogether of the family of the Khan, Nu-yins, and Amirs, perished on this occasion; and, in consequence of these executions, enmity arose among its members, which was never afterwards extinguished. Rubruquis, who reached Mangu’s urdu in January, 1254 A. D. — the last month of 651 H. — and was present during these executions, says that three hundred lords, besides ladies, perished. He describes Mangu Ka’an as being of middle stature, flat-nosed, and about forty-five years old. “He sat on a bed \[couch\], and was clad with a robe of spotted fur, which shined like seal-skin. His wife \[one of his wives\], who was a little pretty woman, sat by him; and, on another couch near, sat one of his daughters \[by his chief Khatun\], named Shirin, grown up, but exceedingly hard favoured, and several little children; for that being her \[Shirin’s\] mother’s urdu (a Christian lady whom the Khan was very fond of), she was mistress of it. On the 14th of January, the Khan’s chief wife Kotola Katen \[the name of the Khan’s chief wife was Khankae Khatun\] attended the Christian chapel with her children.” ### [286.3.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.286.3.4) Mangu having now put down all sedition, the natural goodness of his heart disposed him to show kindness to his remaining kinsmen. He directed that Shiramun, Naku, and the Nu-yin, Chaghan, should accompany his brother, Kubilae Khan, into Khita, and Khwajah Aghul, son of Kyuk Khan, received an appanage in the territory of Salingah, or Salingae, “which is near unto Kara-Kuram;” and, in the same manner, he assigned appanages to others of his kinsmen, wherein they might pass their days in affluence. The loyal Shah-zadahs were now also dismissed to their different urdus, and also Batu Khan’s brothers, Barkae, and Buka-Timur, who had rendered such good service, and had the longest distance to go. They were dismissed with rich presents, and bore along with them befitting offerings for the Aka, Batu, the Sa-in Khan. The sons of Kutan, Kadan \[Kadghan?\] Aghul, and Malik Aghul, were also rewarded, and allowed to depart to their stations; and on Kara-Hulaku, son of Mutukan, son of Chaghatae, his father’s appanage, which his uncle, Yassu-Munga, had usurped, was conferred, but when he reached Alae —— death overtook him. ### [286.3.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.286.3.5) Kashak, the kosh-chi, or camel-man, was rewarded, raised to high rank, and made a Tarkhan. The administration of the revenue affairs of the eastern part of the empire was conferred upon the Sahib, Mahmud, Yalwaj, who had, of old, done such good service, and who had reached Mangu’s urdu previous the army of the sons of Chaghatae, and repel them. Before they could reach the camp of Mangu Khan, he, with his own forces, and the troops of Batu, fell upon that array, wielded the sword among them, and despatched about ten thousand Mughals of rank and renown, leaders of armies \[!\], to hell ; and extirpated all who belonged to the army or were dependents of Chaghatae’s sons ; and set his mind at ease. Mangu Khan now became firmly established in the sovereignty, and ascended the throne of Chin and Upper Turkistan, and carried out his measures so that not a trace of the tribe of Chaghatae remained upon the face of the earth, with the exception of one or two of Chaghatae’s sons who proceeded towards Chin, to the presence of the Altan Khan of Tamghaj. ### [286.3.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.286.3.6) Subsequently to that, Mangu Khan despatched forces to the Kuhistan of the Mulahidahs; and, during several years, the Mughals overran that territory, pitched their camps therein, and took up their quarters in that country. The inhabitants of the Kuhistan became thereby reduced to misery and wretchedness; and the Mughals gained possession of their fortresses and cities, and demolished their strongholds, and the Mulahidahs fell. The account of them is as follows. --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.286.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.286.3) · Pramāṇa
