Military Service

In the days of Mongol, Sultan Hussain Mirza Baiqra, of Khurasan, on complaints of the merchants of Central Asia, that they were looted by Sir.dhis, the Sultan sent an armed
expedition to Sind border, which after initial raids returned to their country. A declaration of victory was issued in Herat in 892 A.H.. It states that the infidels having come to know of Mongol movements, collected a large army and wanted to make a surprise attack but the Islamic forces came to know of it and made offensive attacks, killing many of these Hindus. As a result of this success declaration of victory was issued.
This may have been an attack on the Sindh border without any results. Amir Zul Noon Arghoon then was Herat's Naib at Qandhar. He seems to have despatched his son Shah Beg on this expedition. The latter captured the Sibi Fort from Jam Nizamuddin's agent Bahadur Khan and installed his brother Sultan Mohammad, who later on was defeated and killed by Mubarak Khan Lashari near Jalwagir in Bolan Pass, close to Bibi Nani.
After this incident, the Mongols did not turn up in Sindh during the life of Jam Nizamuddin. At that time, the Mongol troops had advanced as far as Chanduka, Sardecha, and Kot Machhi, but after being expelled by Darya Khan Lashari, they never turned back ' during Jam Nizamuddin's lifetime.
Death of Jam Nizamuddin Samma after 48 years rule of Sind and was succeeded by his son Nasiruddin Abul Fatah Feroz Shah-II. At that time Jam Feroz had neglected the affairs of the state, refused the advice of Darya Khan Lashari, who had to retire to his Jagir in the village Ghaha. Salahuddin then returned to Gujarat. He had remained in possession of Thatta for about eight months and must have collected a large sum of money from Thatta and organized another battle.
