I have already said that before his departure he sent orders to Mir Jumlah to undertake the conquest of Assam. It was the common belief that Aurangzeb ordered Mir Jumlah into Assam that he might be got rid of, dreading that, as he had thrown the kingdom of Gulkandah into confusion, and had known how to arrange for the conquest of Dara and the destruction of Shiva Ji, he might likewise attempt by his devices to place someone else on the Mogul throne. Whatever might have been the reason for this order, Mir Jumlah at the head of his brave captains went forth to conquer a new realm, taking with him his loyal follower Diler Khan. Both were anxious to open to Aurangzeb a door for entering China. For that seemed an easy thing after the acquisition of Assam. Assam lies among mountains, is a very fertile country, most luxuriant in food-products and fruit, which are here found of various kinds such as we have in Europe — that is, pears, apples, peaches, cherries, grapes. With it as a base they could take Pegu, and through it enter into China. - [Previous: 104.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.104.4) - [Next: 105.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.105.2) - [Up: 105](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.105) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.105.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.105.1) · Pramāṇa
