The 1st Bali expedition was a military campaign led by the Adal Empire into Bali.
Prelude[edit]
After the death of Sultan Mansur ad-Din, his youngest brother Jamal ad-Din II immediately succeeded on the throne, he enjoyed the support of Harb Jaush which since the times of Sa'ad ad-Din II, had proved well enough that he was an outstanding commander. Jamal ad-Din, as a wise and able ruler dispatched this commander as an envoy to Emperor Yeshaq I in an attempt to arrange a compromised peace. But negotiations failed, a battle then ensued in which Harb Jaush's forces fought with the Emperor's men, who reportedly included 7,000 archers and swordsmen. The Abyssinians were put to flight and later submitted, and agreed to pay him tribute with some even accepting Jamal ad-Din's rule.[1]
Expedition[edit]
After the precedent military success of Harb Jaush against the Ethiopians, Jamal ad-Din again sent the former on an expedition to Bali where he was said to have killed and crushed the inhabitants of the region. He also carried away many captives and he obtained so much booty that three slaves were given to every poor man. Moreover, because of the multitude of these, every slave was sold at the lowest price, he returned victorious to Jamal ad-Din.[2]
