Sayyid Ābā Baqr, the most faithful of Qāsim Khan's officers, was selected commander, and a force of about 10 to 12 thousand cavalry and infantry, 2000 musketeers, and a fleet of 400 boats in which the war-boats of the vassal Bengal zamindārs predominated, was assembled. Ābā Baqr marched towards Barnagar, the old capital of Kāmrup, and next moved to Hājo, the new headquarters, and established thānahs in the surrounding region. He decided to spend the rains, June—September 1615, at Hājo and reported his activities to Qāsim Khan.
