Ruknuddin Baibars Ep62 - BATTLE OF AYN JALUT 1260 - When Halugu Khan Defeated For the First Time
Transcript
00:00The stranger, without caring for Mutiuddin, made his decision and quickly moved aside.
00:05Mutiuddin stood with his strange face and stared at him.
00:10He called out to him, but he was not eager to hear more.
00:15He did not stop.
00:16At that moment, Mutiuddin's mind was awakened.
00:19He thought of something and quickly followed him.
00:22Mutiuddin was following him carefully.
00:25They both entered the port.
00:27Suddenly, the man disappeared from his sight.
00:30Mutiuddin tried very hard to find him again, but there was no sign of him anywhere.
00:37Mutiuddin was lost in the middle of the market.
00:40In a state of anxiety, he was busy mixing the knots of the situation that was about to take shape.
00:45On the other side, Mamluk Salar Mahmood Baibars bin Qaddari was eager to meet Tatari Sel.
00:53He first set up his troops in a field called Jalebussami, a few miles away from Cairo.
01:00This is where the military exercises began.
01:02Baibars trained each soldier under his watch.
01:06Sultan al-Mulk al-Muzaffar had sent him a list of Mamluk Umars, who had been included in Baibars' army.
01:13When Baibars looked at the list, he was shocked.
01:17The list contained names such as Bade Bebak and Nader Umar.
01:21Their bravery and bravery was in its place,
01:24but what Baibars felt was that Sultan al-Mulk al-Muzaffar had argued with them at some point.
01:33Sultan al-Mulk al-Muzaffar also seemed to be dissatisfied with them.
01:36Baibars immediately realized that Sultan al-Mulk al-Muzaffar was ready to fight this battle under some practical wisdom.
01:44He was eager to make his army stronger by having his Harif and Nader Umar killed by the Tataris.
01:52For Baibars, this discovery was a source of grief
01:55that he was busy playing a deceptive game at a time when the powerful Harif of the Muslims had come to his head.
02:02Baibars pleaded to Allah Almighty with humility and humility to save him from Nusrat
02:08and to protect him from the conspiracy of Sultan al-Mulk al-Muzaffar.
02:12Baibars first of all decided to increase his military strength for his perfect success.
02:18He went to various places and announced in the Tariqeen-e-Watan that every healthy and young man should offer his services for Jihad.
02:25There was such a magic in his words that people began to join his army one by one.
02:30There was also a reason that the land of Egypt was his last resort.
02:34There was a vast sea ahead of him.
02:37If he had shown his laziness at that time, he would not have been able to save his life.
02:43Under the leadership of Baibars, he decided to play the last game.
02:47Baibars prepared his army and also prepared himself psychologically.
02:53He deliberately mentioned such incidents that were related to the Tataris.
02:58After narrating the cruelty and cruelty of the Tataris, he would laugh loudly
03:03and laugh a lot at those who were proud of the destruction of the helpless and helpless population.
03:08This attitude was very strange.
03:09On the one hand, he was exaggerating the glory of his soldiers,
03:14and on the other hand, he was showing his emotions with the cruelty of the Tataris.
03:19At different times of the day, he would often mention the cowardice and cowardice of the Tataris.
03:25His fervent attitude had filled the soldiers with anger.
03:29They were waiting anxiously for the time when they would
03:34slay their swords with the impure blood of the Tataris.
03:39Baibars had made the Tataris restless day and night in preparation for a decisive battle.
03:45The soldiers found him present at all times.
03:48Sometimes it would happen that Baibars was seen in many places at one time.
03:52This was a deception.
03:54The soldiers were not so skilled in keeping track of the time that they could guess correctly.
03:58However, it was clear that Baibars did not take any action in demonstrating his swiftness.
04:04After telling a soldier, he would reach the soldier on the other side so quickly
04:10that his own soldiers began to consider him a deceiver.
04:13It was also a good thing that due to these actions of Baibars,
04:17the confidence of the soldiers had increased significantly.
04:20Baibars would suddenly disappear for a few hours of the day.
04:23The Mamluk Umar would not be able to search for him.
04:27It was assumed that he must be resting at this time.
04:31He was seen in a state of rest for a very short time.
04:34Behind his disguise, he was not resting, but on a journey that he carried out swiftly.
04:41If he had ever been present with the Turkmens and encouraged them to confront the Tataris,
04:46then he would have been sitting in the Khura tribes of Egypt and showing their emotions.
04:53He also included a large number of Arab Bedouins in his army.
04:5715,000 soldiers of the Khura tribe joined his army.
05:00These tribes were considered to be very brave and high-ranking warriors.
05:04After those tribes, Baibars paid attention to the Berber people.
05:08He managed to get 10,000 soldiers of the Berbers with hard work.
05:14In just two months, a troop of 70,000 soldiers had gathered under his flag.
05:20The most important and effective element of this army was the one formed by the Mamluk tribes.
05:25The brave Mamluk Umar was entrusted with the responsibility of training the volunteers.
05:30After hard work day and night, he made his army so strong and powerful
05:36that Baibars began to see his success reaching its culmination.
05:40He was satisfied that now he really had the power to punish the uncivilized Tataris for their atrocities.
05:49The news of Baibars' success was continuously reaching Sultan al-Mulk al-Muzaffar.
05:55As the number of the army increased, the strength of his identity began to deepen.
06:00Baibars had almost as many troops as the Sultan's Mamluk army.
06:08Baibars' increasing power forced him to think that if the independence of Aleppo was given to Baibars,
06:14then Baibars would soon be so powerful that he would swallow the whole of Egypt.
06:19He had predicted about Baibars that in the first wave of the war with the Tataris,
06:25all those people would move away from his path, which could pose a threat to him in the future.
06:30But here the situation was going against him.
06:33The rumble of Baibars' fame began to sound.
06:35Prayers were heard on the lips of the people for Baibars' success.
06:39Sultan al-Mulk al-Muzaffar did not react in any way in light of the current situation.
06:46However, the doubts and suspicions in his heart were getting stronger day by day.
06:52On the other hand, Halakukhan was out of the city of Jaffa in the land of Palestine.
06:58When Halakukhan received the answer from the embassy sent to Cairo, he got angry.
07:04He immediately decided that he would teach Sultan al-Mulk al-Muzaffar a lesson at all costs.
07:09By committing the murder of Halakukhan's embassy,
07:13the people of Egypt had sealed their fate.
07:16He ordered to shorten the celebration of victory
07:20and ordered all his armies to prepare to attack the people of Egypt.
07:24He had made a full-scale advance.
07:27His Armenian, Georgian and Crusader allies were with him.
07:32The Armenian and Georgian allies did not have any special enmity with the people of Egypt.
07:37They were forced to support Halakukhan,
07:39while the Crusaders had raised their voice against the government of Cairo many times.
07:44Therefore, their faces were raised at the decision of Halakukhan.
07:47From Sultan Salahuddin Ayyubi till now, the land of Egypt was such a power
07:52that had blocked the way of the Crusaders.
07:54On the decision of Halakukhan's advance on the side of the land of Egypt,
07:58the Crusaders were sure that no power in the world would be able to save the peace of Cairo.
08:03Before Halakukhan's advance on the side of the land of Egypt,
08:07he was eager to hear the news of the victory of Diyar-e-Bakr.
08:10This was the only area in the land of Syria that was still out of his control.
08:14He sent many military missions to Diyar-e-Bakr,
08:17but could not get any significant result.
08:20He reached Ghadi-An in Rajab 658.
08:24He was overjoyed to hear the news of the victory of Sultan Al-Mulk-ul-Kamil
08:28and Mian Fariqin.
08:31On the same day, he announced the advance on the side of the land of Egypt.
08:35The Tatar army began to prepare for the attack.
08:38Before the army would leave for the land of Egypt,
08:42Halakukhan was informed that his brother and the Qani-e-Azam of the Mongols,
08:46Mangu-Khan, had been trapped in the Daldali area,
08:51while he was mobilizing his army on China,
08:53and his relative and Mongol leader, Mangu-Khan's successors,
08:57and to elect his new Qani-e-Azam,
09:00he was going to hold a rally.
09:03He immediately asked for Halakukhan.
09:06When Halakukhan heard the news of his brother's death,
09:10he was overwhelmed by the new situation.
09:14He was ready to join the side of the land of Egypt,
09:17but the political situation had changed.
09:20If he ignored the rally and went to the land of Egypt
09:23to avenge the death of his ambassadors,
09:27it is possible that in the rally,
09:29a Qani-e-Azam should be put on the head of a person
09:33who has a severe animosity with Halakukhan.
09:36His mind was repeatedly wandering towards Birgai Khan,
09:39because Birgai Khan was the only capable and kind-hearted person
09:43whose choice could not be disputed among the Mongols.
09:47He announced his immediate return.
09:50The Mongol armies had no objection to this,
09:53because they were returning to their homes.
09:55However, the most painful thing was for the Crusader allies.
09:59The dreams they were seeing were scattered one by one.
10:02If Halakukhan returned,
10:04the Muslims could very quickly gather their scattered forces
10:08and take away the system of all the areas from him.
10:10They wanted to stop him from various harbours.
10:13His Umara also opposed the return at such a time,
10:17but he remained silent on the two-sided decision of Halakukhan.
10:21Salibi Umara took the support of Halakukhan's Christian wife
10:25Waquz Khatun to put his intentions into practice,
10:29and told her that this was the time when Christianity was flourishing,
10:33and she needed a very short time to solidify her steps.
10:37In such a situation, Halakukhan's return was not appropriate.
10:41The Muslims could not be completely cleansed yet.
10:43If the land of Egypt is invaded,
10:45then no one will have the courage to remove Christianity from the holy land.
10:49Salibi Umara insisted to Waquz Khatun
10:51that she should somehow force Halakukhan to change her mind.
10:55Waquz Khatun promised her that she would try her best.
10:59On the same day, Waquz Khatun spoke to Halakukhan
11:03and reminded him that in the past days,
11:05the order from Mangukhan,
11:07which was to give the land of Egypt to Ron,
11:09could not be fulfilled.
11:11It is your duty to obey your master's order.
11:15It is your duty to obey your master's order.
11:18Therefore, our Yalghar should not stop.
11:20In the name of God, you should move towards the land of Egypt.
11:24Halakukhan clearly refused to listen to her,
11:27and said that he considers the event of Qurultai
11:29to be ahead of everything else,
11:31where his brothers and relatives are eagerly waiting for him.
11:35Waquz Khatun did not argue much with Halakukhan about Yalghar.
11:39Halakukhan sent back the messenger Qasid
11:42and told him that he is returning to his homeland,
11:46and that he should wait for him.
11:48Halakukhan's decision to return to his homeland
11:50affected the evil intentions of the enemies of the land of Egypt.
11:54They continued their efforts.
11:56This time, they forced Qatbugha Khan to talk to Halakukhan.
12:01Qatbugha Khan was a special follower of the religion of Christianity.
12:05He had strong emotions against Muslims.
12:08Non-Muslim historians have quoted many incidents of his barbarism and brutality.
12:13It is said that Qatbugha Khan badly disrespected and trampled
12:18many important cities of the land of Syria.
12:20Qatbugha Khan was a great downfall in Halakukhan's view.
12:23When Qatbugha Khan insisted on continuing Yalghar,
12:26Halakukhan expressed his suspicions about it.
12:29Because he would have to bow his head in front of every decision
12:33made in the event of Qurultai,
12:35it would be better for him to get the position of Qa'an-e-Azam himself.
12:40He also criticized Birgai Khan's statement that
12:43if he was made Qa'an-e-Azam,
12:45he would not let Halakukhan live at any cost.
12:48Qatbugha Khan became silent after hearing the delicacy of the situation.
12:52He understood very well that it was very important for Halakukhan to return.
12:56He returned and promised the crusader allies that
12:59as soon as Halakukhan was freed from the event of Qurultai,
13:03he would return soon and complete his unfinished mission.
13:07When the crusader allies heard the same answer from Qatbugha Khan,
13:11they were disappointed.
13:13A few days later, Halakukhan ordered his troops
13:16to prepare for the next morning's march.
13:19They would take a short route and travel along the banks of the Qafqaz
13:23and return to their homeland before the fields of grass dry up.
13:27When his troops heard the announcement, they were extremely excited.
13:31They were returning to their homeland after a long period of time.
13:35A few hours before the next morning's departure,
13:38Halakukhan asked Qatbugha Khan to stay in his tent.
13:41Qatbugha Khan immediately followed his request.
13:44Halakukhan asked him to sit down.
13:46He quietly sat down.
13:48After a while, Halakukhan said,
13:51The situation has become extremely dire.
13:54I thought about it all night.
13:56All those people who are now forced to support us on our return to our homeland
14:01can change their loyalty.
14:04The rebellious Muslims are trying their best
14:07to give them some peace of mind and to correct their ranks.
14:11But I do not want to give them such an opportunity.
14:14Therefore, I have decided that you stay here and protect all the captives.
14:19I am ready for any responsibility.
14:23Qatbugha Khan said,
14:25I will not take all the army with me.
14:28One hundred thousand soldiers will be with you.
14:31And besides that, the armies of our allies are separate.
14:34We are receiving information from the side of the land of Egypt
14:37that they are preparing for war.
14:39You will not go to their side,
14:41but you will keep a close eye on their movements and actions.
14:44If such circumstances arise that they come against you,
14:47you have full authority to crush them in a full way.
14:50You stay in the land of Palestine until my return.
14:53If an ally tries to rebel against you,
14:56kill him without any hesitation.
14:58I strongly hope that none of them will try to entangle with you.
15:02Halaqu Khan also gave him more instructions.
15:05Qatbugha Khan, taking responsibility for the supervision
15:08and protection of all the captured areas,
15:10put both his hands on his chest in front of his Qa'an
15:13and vowed that he would protect those areas with all his heart
15:17and would always be loyal to Halaqu Khan.
15:20Halaqu Khan also explained to him about some other matters.
15:23After this, in the afternoon,
15:25he left for the desert of Gobi with his magnificent camp.
15:30After Halaqu Khan's visit,
15:32the lands of Syria and Iraq and the lands of East and Palestine
15:35were under the control of Qatbugha Khan.
15:38Where he was a capable and fearless commander,
15:41he was also a compassionate person.
15:44The stories of his bravery were known throughout the Islamic world.
15:48After Halaqu Khan's departure,
15:50he consulted with his capable Mongol commanders
15:53and with all his armies,
15:55he moved away from the field of Jaffa
15:57and set up camp in the field called Ain-e-Jalut.
16:00This place was near the historical city of Nasira in Palestine.
16:04The purpose of setting up camp here was also
16:06to strengthen the influence of Egypt to some extent
16:09so that the Tartar army was not far from them.
16:12In addition to this,
16:14he could also maintain his effective control over Syria and Iraq.
16:17The day his armies set up camp in Ain-e-Jalut,
16:20a horseman left them and moved towards the land of Egypt.
16:24It was none other than Baibars himself,
16:27who had been in the Tartar army for many days.
16:30He returned to the Tartar army with satisfaction
16:33after all the decisions had been made.
16:35There, the Sultan of the land of Egypt,
16:37Al-Mulk-ul-Muzaffar, was present in the royal court
16:40when Halaqu Khan's news of his return reached there.
16:43This was very good news.
16:45Upon Halaqu Khan's sudden return,
16:47the faces of the officials were excited.
16:49Sultan Al-Mulk-ul-Muzaffar felt for a moment
16:52as if the danger had been averted.
16:54He was waiting for this moment.
16:56In some corner of his heart,
16:58this thought had been sitting since the first day
17:00that just as Genghis Khan was limited
17:02to the Kingdom of Khaywa Shahi,
17:04similarly, Halaqu Khan will also be limited
17:06to those areas after the destruction of Baghdad.
17:09When Halaqu Khan entered the lands of Palestine,
17:12his estimation began to waver,
17:14but the news he received today
17:16confirmed his conviction.
17:18At that time, he made an intention
17:20to pay tribute to Shukran-e-Nawafil.
17:22The officials of the Sultanate,
17:24in view of this new change,
17:26found out about the military preparation
17:28of the Babylonians, and he was in thought.
17:30I have two options.
17:32I am not able to decide what to do in such a situation.
17:35Sultan Al-Mulk-ul-Muzaffar expressed his opinion.
17:38The officials and princes were shocked to hear him.
17:41Sultan Al-Mulk-ul-Muzaffar said,
17:43It is possible that your servants
17:45may become the reason for some ease in decision-making.
17:48A prince said politely,
17:50One thought is that I will remain limited
17:52to the land of Egypt at present
17:54and try not to get entangled with the Tatars.
17:56In this way, we will be safe for a while.
17:58It is possible that this period
18:00will take a permanent form.
18:02The second situation is that
18:04our military preparations are complete.
18:06We will move forward and attack the lands
18:08of Palestine and the lands of the East
18:10and take them under our control.
18:12There are weak rulers in these areas
18:14and the Tatars too.
18:16After gaining control of these areas,
18:18whatever happens in the future,
18:20at least the land of Egypt will be safe from it.
18:23Sultan Al-Mulk-ul-Muzaffar expressed his opinion.
18:26The officials and princes were shocked
18:28to hear him.
18:30Sultan Al-Mulk-ul-Muzaffar said,
18:32Your second opinion is very reasonable.
18:34A prince said politely,
18:36In my opinion, this method is not suitable.
18:38Faris-ud-Din Akta'i spoke in a serious tone.
18:40All the officials looked at him.
18:42Sultan Al-Mulk-ul-Muzaffar also
18:44turned his attention to him with
18:46contemplative eyes.
18:48Faris-ud-Din Akta'i addressed
18:50Qadr-e-Tawakkuf.
18:52Sultan-e-Muhtarim, this action
18:54is against your previous practice.
18:56You have always tried in the past
18:58not to bring forward action from your side
19:00and not to draw the attention of the
19:02Tatars to the land of Egypt.
19:04Now that the news of the return of
19:06Halaqu-Khan has reached,
19:08you want to take the lead by
19:10changing your previous practice
19:12in view of the expansion of your
19:14empire.
19:16Although you know that
19:18nothing is far from Halaqu-Khan,
19:20it is possible that this return
19:22is based on deception.
19:24Secondly, when this news reaches
19:26Halaqu-Khan, will he not return
19:28with full force and take revenge?
19:30Anyway, the condition of the lands
19:32of Syria and Eastern Egypt is not
19:34certain.
19:36Faris-ud-Din Akta'i's words
19:38made the weak heart of Umar
19:40pale.
19:42He also advised Sultan-ul-Mulk-ul-Muzaffar
19:44to remain limited to the lands of
19:46Egypt in view of the expected
19:48dangers.
19:50Faris-ud-Din Akta'i's words
19:52touched the heart of Sultan-ul-Mulk-ul-Muzaffar.
20:04Thanks for watching!
