He obtained from the Dutch five hundred thousand rupees and from the English another sum of money, and in addition they were subjected to great hardships in the matter of food and drink. The Dutch governor of Colhin, (Cochin) having heard of the occurrence, sent at once seven ships of war to blockade the port of Surat, and the English governor of Bombay also sent three. Upon the arrival of all these men-of-war they seized all the Mahomedan vessels found there. They dealt out the same rigour to the Mahomedan crews as had been shown to the Europeans on land. They demanded a return of the sum of money that had been forcibly taken, and, in addition, another amount that had been taken some years before in a most unjust manner. They claimed also the interest on this second sum. In addition to the release of the prisoners, it was intended that the Moguls should be forced to make peace and restore the conditions prevailing in the time of Shahjahan. Seeing the resolution of the Europeans, and the great loss they would cause to his seaport, the king dismissed the governor and all the principal officers, and issued fresh orders that the European demands must be satisfied. In this way peace was made. - [Previous: 334.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.334.13) - [Next: 335.1.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.335.1.1) - [Up: 334](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.334) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.334.14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.334.14) · Pramāṇa
