Tehran to iMashhad. Zaman Shah, however^ alarmed by these preparations,
despatched an ambassador with presents to Fat-h 'AH Shah, who was
easily induced by this means to return to Tehran. The Afghan rebels
Mahmud and Feroz-ud-Din, already mentioned, were at this time domiciled
in Persia, or had lately visited it to solicit help of the Shah ; and
the latter accordingly, in withdrawing from the frontier, stipulated
that they should be received by Zaman Shah and treated by him in
future in a manner befitting their rank as princes. The Ghorian
district situated to the westward of Herat, remained in the hands of the
Persians, by whom it had been occupied. Not long after this, Mahmud
and Feroz-ud-Din, h iving been joined by Fateh Khan, Barakzai, obtained
possession of Herat; and from that place as a base Mahmud subsequently
advanced to Qandahar, which he captured, Feroz-ud-Din remaining
behind in charge of Herat.
In 1801 Zaman Shah was blinded and deposed. Mahmud took his
place and ruled over all Afghanistan until 1803, when he was expelled
from the greater part of the country by Shah Shuja/ and probably
returned to Herat.
After the accession of Shah ShujV, an invasion of the Qandahar
district was undertaken by Kamran, son of Mahmud, with the assistance
of Fateh Khan, Barakzai ; but a movement of the Persians against
Herat obliged him to retrace his steps, Feroz-ud-Din, after corrupting
the Persian official in charge ol: Ghorian, had sent a force into that district
with a view of annexing it to his own government ; but the Afghans had
been defeated in their attempt with heavy slaughter ; and thus it came
about that the Persian Governor of Khurasan was now at the gates
of Herat. The operations resulted, according to Persian accounts, in the
complete humiliation of Feroz-ud-Din, who was obliged to promise to
pay tribute to Persia in future, to furnish two annual instalments at
once under the name of arrears, to deliver up his own son as a hostage, and
to surrender the Persian official with whom he had intrigued in regard to
Ghorian. These events occurred in 18U5.
In 1809 or 1810 Mahmud, supported by Fateh Khan, Barakzai,
N-^in came to the head of affairs in Afghanistan, and Shah Shuja
was driven from the country. In 1816 or 1817 Hasan 'Ali Mirza,
w ho had lately been appointed by his father, the Shah, to the governor-
S ^P of Khurasan, advanced upon Herat, capturing the Hazarah strongs
of Mahmudabad by the way. The reason of this incursion was
the appropriation, once more, by the Afghans of the debatable district
Ghorian; and Feroz-ud-Din, struck with terror at the example of
