00:30Bukhara's people had been pardoned, but the situation was so bad that in 617 Hijri, according to 1220 A.D., Genghis Khan again appeared in front of Bukhara with his army.
00:42Seeing this situation, the people of the city sighed that God forbid, the effects are not good.
00:47Genghis Khan's tent was placed in front of Ain Qala. At this time, the army of Alauddin Khwarazmshah in Bukhara was commanded by four great generals.
00:56One of them was Kho Khan, the second was Khamidbor, the third was Kashli Khan, and the fourth was Kashkali Khan.
01:01These generals left the city with 20,000 troops on the first night and killed the Mongols, but they had no idea that the Mongols had learned of their plan.
01:12So they hid in the valley.
01:14When these four generals of Alauddin Khwarazmshah came out of the city and wanted to attack the Mongols, the Mongols came out of the valley and broke into the Khwarazmshah army and cut everyone like a crop.
01:26The eyes of Bukhara's people were now open that how much they had angered the Mongols.
01:31Even now, there was no solution without pardon.
01:35Therefore, the people of the city's delegation again came to the service of Genghis Khan and requested for pardon.
01:41Genghis Khan again forgave them and told the people of the delegation that since they were eager to see the city, the city's doors should be opened.
01:49There was no way out without obeying the order.
01:51When Genghis Khan reached the door of Jam-e-Masjid while walking, he asked,
01:55Is this the Sultan's palace?
01:57In response, Genghis Khan was told,
01:59No, Khan-e-Azam, this is a mosque. Worship is done here.
02:02Upon this, Genghis Khan said,
02:04Arrange the fodder and grains of our horses as soon as possible.
02:07Therefore, the doors of the barns were opened.
02:10And as soon as they saw, there were piles of fodder and grains.
02:13Wide halls of Jam-e-Masjid, horses were tied up.
02:16Books were taken out of the cupboards and thrown out.
02:19And the work of Khurli was started from those cupboards.
02:21The scholars and Fuzala were ordered to imagine themselves as horses from today and there should be no error in this.
02:28After this, the Mongols started drinking alcohol and singing songs.
02:32And in Chashm-e-Zadan, this great place of worship was converted into a wine cellar.
02:37After this, Genghis Khan left the mosque and went towards Eid-ul-Adha.
02:40A large group of people were with him.
02:42When he reached there, he stood at a high place and shouted loudly, addressing people.
02:48O people of Bukhara, listen carefully.
02:50I have been sent by God to punish you for the inappropriateness of your rulers.
02:56If you value your life, then give all your wealth to my armies.
03:00The people of the city handed over all the wealth to Genghis Khan's armies out of fear of death.
03:05At the time when this was happening, some of the remaining armies of Sultan Alauddin Khwarazmshah were present in the city.
03:12Genghis Khan ordered the people of the city not to have any connection with them and to remove them from the city.
03:17But the implementation of this order was completely difficult.
03:21When the people of Genghis Khan saw the Sultan's armies roaming in the streets and markets,
03:26they told Genghis Khan that the people of the city were deviating from the order of the Sultan.
03:31Hearing this, Genghis Khan got angry and ordered the city to be set on fire.
03:35All the buildings in the city of Jam-e-Masjid were made of wood.
03:39It was time to show the spark that the city got angry and burned to ashes in three days.
03:46Bukhara was a very important and intellectual city of the Islamic world.
03:51The history of the city of Bukhara dates back to the time of Shah Zonaz.
03:56In Islamic sources, the local ruler of Bukhara was named Bukhar-e-Khudat,
04:02which means Shah-e-Bukhara in the Sakhdi language of the city.
04:07The Muslims first attacked this city in 54 Hijri and in the year 74,
04:11under the command of Abdullah bin Ziyad.
04:14In the year 91 Hijri, Qutayba Muslim defeated his enemies and was crowned with the title of Shah-e-Bukhara
04:19and strengthened the foundation of the Islamic government in Bukhara.
04:22When Umar-e-Khurasan moved his capital to Nishapur,
04:26Bukhara's Nasm-u-Nas was transferred to a governor separate from the rest of Mawar-e-Nahar,
04:31who directly responded to the central government.
04:35After this, the Ahl-e-Tahir, i.e. the Tahir family, continued to rule this city
04:40and Nasr bin Ahmed Sasani, who was ruling Samarkand,
04:43his younger brother Ismail became the governor of Bukhara.
04:47And then after the death of Nasr, the entire area of Mawar-e-Nahar was also under his control
04:52and the Khalifa also made him the Ameer-e-Khurasan.
04:55Thus, Bukhara became the pedestal of a very large empire.
04:58Although the territory of Bukhara was expanded several times,
05:01but whenever it was rebuilt from scratch, it was built on the old palace of Waqf.
05:06Bukhara's geographers have divided this city into three major parts,
05:10Qala, the city, and Muzaffat-e-Shahr.
05:12Qala has been established in the same place since ancient times as it is now.
05:16This used to be the palace of the rulers of Bukhara.
05:18There was an old mosque in this Qala, which was located at the door of the Qala.
05:22This Qala was destroyed several times in the 6th and 7th century Hijri, i.e. in the 12th and 13th century CE,
05:28and was rebuilt.
05:30In 515 Hijri, 1121 CE, Arsalan Khan built a new mosque in the city.
05:37In addition to the palace of the Qala, there was also a palace in the desert,
05:40which was from the time of the Arabs.
05:42When Abu Nasr became the ruler of Bukhara, he also built a palace in that place.
05:46In the 4th century Hijri and 10th century CE, this city was very populous.
05:51After the collapse of the Samanis, Bukhara's old political importance also decreased.
05:56But even during this period of decline, Bukhara remained the center of Islamic scholarship.
06:01In the 6th century Hijri, i.e. in the 12th century CE,
06:04a family of scholars established a religious government in the name of Al-e-Burhan.
06:08Finally, in 602 Hijri, i.e. in the 12th century CE,
06:11due to a public rebellion, the rulers had to leave the city
06:15and this city was under the rule of Muhammad bin Taqish Khwarazmshah.
06:19This was the time of 1216 CE, when Genghis Khan was on the rise in this great city of Khwarazmshah.
06:25In any case, the Mongols looted this great city a lot on the orders of Genghis Khan.
06:30Genghis Khan enlisted as many young men as there were in the city.
06:34He appointed a general named Tosha Baqaq as the ruler of Bukhara
06:39and he himself led an army that could not be counted,
06:43and he marched towards Samarkand.
06:46According to the order of Sultan Alauddin Khwarazmshah,
06:49Nizamuddin and Arif Zozani had left for Samarkand with their army.
06:54They would be about a mile from Samarkand now,
06:57that the rulers of Samarkand, Alp Khan and his two best generals,
07:01Albaz Khan and Bala Khan welcomed Nizamuddin, Arif Zozani and his army with their leaders
07:07in a grand manner and took them inside the city.
07:11Samarkand is another important city of the Islamic world on the southern shore of the Saghat River
07:16and it used to be the central city of Saghat in the morning.
07:20Historians say that this city was actually the Paradise of Paradise.
07:25Before the Arabs reached here, the local rulers of Samarkand were called Tarkhun.
07:30But when Qutaiba bin Muslim Khurasan was appointed as the governor,
07:34he besieged this city, which lasted for a long time.
07:37Finally, the rulers of this city were forced to lay down their arms.
07:41At that time, the rulers of that city, Akshiz Ghurak, were placed on the throne,
07:45but along with him, an Arab governor was also appointed with a powerful army.
07:50Later, this city became an important center of Islamic conquests and propaganda
07:55along with Bukhara.
07:58In 819 A.D.
08:01Mamun al-Rashid handed over Samarkand to the sons of Asad bin Saman.
08:06After this, this high position remained with the Samani family for a long time.
08:10Even Ismail bin Ahmed established a second government in 987 A.D.
08:16In this period, Samarkand and Bukhara gained a lot of popularity.
08:20But after this, it was ruined for five centuries.
08:24In the era of Taimur Lang and his successors, this city gained popularity again.
08:29In its time, Dar-us-Sultanate was transferred to Bukhara.
08:32But in Islamic countries, Samarkand remained the priority as a commercial and cultural center.
08:37Samarkand was considered a model of a segone order like the Iranian cities.
08:42Qala, the original city, and Madafat were arranged like Bukhara,
08:46three parts from the south to the north.
08:49Qala was located at a higher altitude than other areas in the south of the city.
08:53The original city is located on a hill.
08:55The paper of Samarkand was very famous.
08:57Babur especially praised the paper made in this city.
09:01The most famous building in the city is the tomb and mosque of Nusrat Qasim bin Abbas.
09:06It is known about Hazrat Qasim bin Abbas that he preached the religion of Islam to the people of Samarkand.
09:12Anyway, the rulers of Samarkand, Alp Khan and his two best brothers, Al-Baz Khan, Bala Khan and Umara,
09:19entered the city of Nizamuddin and Ariz-Zuzani.
09:22First, they led their army.
09:24They ordered the soldiers to rest.
09:26Then, addressing Alp Khan, Nizamuddin said,
09:29Alp Khan, my brother, the first thing is that the Mongols can attack Samarkand at any time
09:37and can start a severe test for the Muslims here.
09:41My brother, we have to protect the city.
09:44We have to try not to let the Mongols conquer the city.
09:47Because after the conquest of Bukhara,
09:49I see how weak the morale of the Muslims is.
09:52While living in Bukhara, where we have to keep the morale of the Mongols high,
09:56there we have to defend them well.
09:58My brother, first of all, show me the structure and fortifications of the city.
10:02After assessing them, I will talk about the defense of the city.
10:06Alp Khan expressed his happiness on this.
10:08Then, Nizamuddin and Ariz-Zuzani, both Alp Khan and his two best brothers, Al-Baz Khan and Bala Khan,
10:14went to the first structure.
10:16Nizamuddin climbed on top of the structure and took a deep look at it.
10:20He also saw the tower of the structure.
10:22After that, he also saw the fort on some height.
10:25For a long time, he kept assessing the structure and fortifications of the city.
10:29Then he returned to his army.
10:32Alp Khan, Al-Baz Khan and Bala Khan were all with him.
10:35They all ate inside the army and then sat together
10:38and started talking about the fortifications of the city and its defense.
10:44On the next day, they started to fulfill the shortcomings of the city's defense.
10:48Anyway, after Bukhara, Genghis Khan was heading towards Samarkand.
10:52Historians write that Alauddin Khwarazm Shah himself went to Khurasan to recruit more troops.
10:58And he had already sent 110,000 troops from his army to protect Samarkand,
11:04including 20 elephants.
11:06Historians write that since the plan of Samarkand's defense was reliable in every respect,
11:11the people of the city were ready to fight with all their might.
11:15Historians also write that Genghis Khan was also aware of these arrangements.
11:20Therefore, before attacking Samarkand, he recruited a large number of troops.
11:25When this army landed in front of Samarkand,
11:28historians write that the number of people was such that
11:32as far as the eyes could see, only men could be seen.
11:36Therefore, Genghis Khan's tent was set up in front of the fort at a high place called Kokhsara.
11:42And that day, Genghis Khan advised his army to rest.
11:45However, he alerted a part of the army.
11:48On the same day, beautiful and handsome Alauddin left his tent and set out for a purpose.
11:54He must have gone a little far, when he saw Bargha Khan coming from the front.
11:58As soon as he saw him, Alauddin expressed his indescribable happiness and started addressing Bargha Khan.
12:03Bargha Khan, I was going to your tent to give you a good news.
12:07I have met Khan-e-Azam.
12:09Khan-e-Azam has reduced a part of the army to capture and arrest Nizam-ud-Din.
12:14And after the victory of Samarkand, we will set out again to search for Nizam-ud-Din.
12:19This time, you will not be with me, but Karacha.
12:21And Khan-e-Azam has given me permission for this.
12:23I was just going to tell you this news.
12:26Bargha Khan expressed his happiness after hearing these words of Alauddin.
12:29Then he got closer to Alauddin and began to tell him in great secrecy.
12:33Alauddin, my sister, I was also coming to you to tell you an important news.
12:37And I was wondering how I will meet you in your tent.
12:40Now that Khan-e-Azam has appointed me to work with you instead of Karacha,
12:45then I can meet you at any time without hesitation.
12:49My sister, I came to talk to you on a topic that is also related to you.
12:55Alauddin was shocked by these words of Bargha Khan.
12:57He looked at him carefully and said,
12:59My brother, tell me openly what you want to say.
13:01What is the matter that is related to me?
13:05A little smile appeared on Bargha Khan's face at this time.
13:08Then he said,
13:09If Koshan Khan has any problem, can your identity be affected by it?
13:14Alauddin was worried and surprised.
13:16He said,
13:17Absolutely, if Koshan Khan has any problem, then I will definitely have a problem.
13:21My brother, I have already promised you that he is my favorite.
13:24If he has any problem, then I can defend him and I will do it.
13:28Now tell me openly what is the matter?
13:30Bargha Khan thought something and then said,
13:32My sister, the Sultan of Muslims, Alauddin Khwarazmshah has given an army
13:36and has appointed Koshan Khan to protect Samarkand.
13:39And Koshan Khan is present in Samarkand city at this time.
13:42Now that our army has reached Samarkand,
13:44then Changez Khan will besiege the city at any cost from tomorrow.
13:47I am worried that Koshan Khan will be trapped in the city
13:50and when Samarkand is conquered like Bukhara city,
13:53then I get worried that what will happen to Koshan Khan.
13:57My sister, he is my advocate, my missionary.
13:59He has saved my life twice.
14:01So if I had to put myself in danger to save him and protect him,
14:05then I am ready to do this.
14:07Alauddin was also worried and worried about this discovery of Bargha Khan.
14:11He said,
14:12Bargha Khan, you are right.
14:14Koshan Khan should not have come to Samarkand at this time.
14:17Now that he has come here and is present in the city,
14:20then we both will try to somehow save him and his companions who are close to him.
14:26After saying this, when Alauddin became silent,
14:28then Bargha Khan said,
14:29My sister, now you go and rest in your yurt.
14:32I hope that Changez Khan will start his attacks on Samarkand from tomorrow.
14:36And when this happens,
14:37then we will talk more about Koshan Khan tomorrow
14:40and see how he can be saved.
14:42Alauddin agreed to this.
14:44So he turned and went to his yurt.
14:47The next day after Fajr prayer,
14:49Nizamuddin, Arizuni, Alp Khan, Albaz Khan, Bala Khan,
14:53and a few other small and big Salars gathered together again.
14:56At this time, Nizamuddin addressed all the Salars and said,
15:00My dear brothers,
15:01as far as I know,
15:02Changez Khan will start his attack on the city today.
15:05Before this, I have discussed this topic with Alp Khan in detail.
15:09We will not defend the city by staying limited in the city.
15:12We will go out of the city and attack the Mongols.
15:15Today, Changez Khan will try to encircle the city with his army.
15:19So we will leave the city and attack the Mongols.
15:22For this, I will tell you in detail what our plan will be.
15:26At this time, the number of troops in Samarkand will be divided into three parts.
15:30Two parts will be big and one part will be small.
15:33One part of the big part will be under my command,
15:36the other will be under Arizuzni.
15:38Albaz Khan, you will work with me.
15:40Bala Khan will stay with Arizuzni.
15:42The third army, which will be less than the other two parts,
15:45will be under the command of Alp Khan,
15:47and Alp Khan will protect the city while staying inside the city.
15:51This is being done because when I, Arizuzni, Albaz Khan and Bala Khan
15:55will come out and attack the Mongols,
15:58if any Mongol army tries to enter the city by crossing a part of Faseel,
16:03Alp Khan will not let this happen.
16:05Because Alp Khan will be completely ready and independent over Faseel with his part of the army.
16:11After saying this, Nizamuddin stopped.
16:13Then all the commanders agreed to this proposal.
16:16After this, Nizamuddin stood up.
16:18Looking at him, all the other commanders also stood up.
16:21After this, the division of the army began to take its final form.
16:25The next day, Genghis Khan began to attack Samarkand
16:29and he began to spread his army in the vicinity of the city.
16:32At the same time, Nizamuddin and Arizuzni left the city with their army
16:36and they also began to spread their army in front of Genghis Khan's army.
16:41On the right side, Nizamuddin was with his army.
16:44Albaz Khan was working as his deputy.
16:47On the left side, Arizuzni was with him.
16:49Bala Khan was with him.
16:50First of all, Nizamuddin started his work
16:53and he began to spread his army in the vicinity of the city
16:57and he began to spread his army in the vicinity of the city
17:00and he began to spread his army in the vicinity of the city
17:03and he began to spread his army in the vicinity of the city
