Fall of the Mughal Empire v4.c53.s3.15

v4.c53.s3.15

Against the rebels, an effective barrier was built by the coalition of Perron (De Boigne's successor as Sindhia's supreme commander of the New Model army) with Ambāji Inglé, whom Daulat Rao invested with the viceroyalty of the North. At first the partisans of the widows gained the city of Ujjain, Sindhia's capital, without striking a blow, c. 15 Sept. But three months later (c. 15 Dec. 1798), Ambāji's brother Bālā Rao Inglé recovered that capital, as Jagu Bāpu fled away from it at his approach.
