Ghazi Baraj Tarihi. Chapter 15

PAfter the death of Talib in 981, Timar Mumin Badjanak was raised to the throne, supported by the Kazanchis and Badjanaks. This Kan violated Talib's establishment, according to which all Bulgar Igenchei could only be Subash or Chirmysh, and ordered to transfer all pagan Bulgars to the category of Kara-Chirmysh. This caused strong discontent in a number of areas, especially in Kashan, where the majority of the Bulgar Igenches were still pagans. In response, Timar ordered the kursybai, dangerous for Kazanchis, to fight together with the Saklan Badjanaks against Rus', for Bashtu's refusal to pay tribute for Djir, and Kashan declared an inland province and transferred Kukcha from the governor's seat to the saddle of the sardar kursybay. Following this, he declared that Mardan was also an internal il and separated from it into a separate external province of Saksin. Ibrahim was removed and replaced by Masgut, who pretended to be quiet and loyal. Timar never found out that it was Masgut who informed Talib about him, because the vizier declared his letter intercepted. Kazanchies loyal to the Kan began to be appointed as Ulugbeks, and Ibrahim got only the post of the Aktobe district of Saksin. This further increased dissatisfaction, since the governors of Kazanchiev simply ripped off the people. Many Kashan subashes, not wanting to become Kara-Chirmyshs, fled to Arsu, where they settled as subashes with the permission of the good old man Mar. Of course, Mar did not forget himself at the same time and willingly traded in the Ars, i captured subashes during the seizure of new lands. Timar, reluctantly, endured the Deber Ulugbek in order not to quarrel with the merchants of Bolgar and Nur-Suvar ...

In the face of strong dissatisfaction with the government, Ibrahim decided to seize the throne and entered into a secret alliance with the kursybay and the son of Barys Bulymer. Bek Bashtu agreed to help because of the emir's promise to stop the Badjanak war that had plagued Rus'. Our guide in this First Badjanak War was Barish, the servant of the son of Barys - Yarsyb. Yarsyb was a hostage in the Bulgar under Barys, and then, with the help of our people, he became the Bek of Bashtu. When Bulymer treacherously killed him, Barysh fled to the Bulgar and received an estate near the Sura-su river. The river that flowed through his possessions began to be called Barysh ...

Encountering no resistance from the Mardanians, Ibrahim with his Turkmens and with the kursybai Kukch passed through Burtas and occupied Bulyar. From here he moved to the Bolgar, where Bulymer sailed with his governor - the son of Mala Dyau-Baryn and his 24,000-strong army. However, Kukcha, having learned about the landing of the Balyns hostile to him and the plundering of the grassroots urams of the capital, abruptly changed his plans. Offering the emir to be content only with the governorship in Baityub, he attacked Bulymer and drove him onto the ship. At the same time, 10 thousand Shamly and Galidjians fell on the spot, and 8 thousand with Dyau-Baryn were captured. Taking advantage of this, Timar entered into negotiations with Kukcha and Bulymer. Kukcha demanded Bulyar for Ibragim, and Kashan for himself in exchange for captured Balyns and an end to the rebellion ... Bulymer begged Timar to give him the prisoners in exchange for tripling the “djir tribute” and opening the duty-free Amber Road to Artan. In order not to unite his opponents again, Timar agreed to accept the conditions of Kukchi and handed over his prisoners to Bulymer in exchange for his promises. In addition, Timar took a written obligation from Bulymer not to accept Christianity and not to impede the spread of the true faith in Rus'. In order to tie Bulymer more tightly to the State (Ak Yort), Timar married his daughter Bozok to him. After the wedding, which took place here, in Bolgar, Bulymer sailed to Rus' along the Kara-Idel, and the next year, seven Bulgarian jurists went to Bashta along the Khorysdan route. Their son Nasyr Kul-Mohammed headed them. They converted the Baryn and Kaubuy beks to Islam, as well as the biys of the Saklan Badjanaks, and built several mosques in Bashtu, Karajar, Batavyl, Khursa and Baryn-Diu...

But after a few years, Bulymer was completely exhausted under the burden of the new Djir tribute and decided to improve things by robbing the Rum lands. In 988, he suddenly invaded Jalda and took possession of the Rumian city there. The frightened Roma Kan then offered Bulymer - in exchange for Dzhalda and his adoption of Christianity - a lot of gold and silver and Dima-Tarkhan to boot. These conditions were so favorable that Bulymer could not resist and accepted the conditions of the Rumians ...

When Timar found out about the adoption of Christianity by Bulymer, he sent ambassadors to him with reproaches ... Bulymer justified himself by saying that he did this for the sake of the Djir tribute and treacherously refused to fulfill the promise he had given earlier. …

Negotiations went on for several years, until finally, in 991, the voivode Bulymera, together with the Rum people, attacked Khin. Kursybai, under the leadership of Sal-Sal, the son of Kukchi from the Badzhanak bika, laid down 5,000 Balyns and 3,000 Rumians on the spot, led by the governor Ber, and turned the rest of the enemies into a stampede. Despite this, Bulymer, in the hope of Rum help, refused to pay the Djir tribute, and in 992 Sal-Sal with kursybay and badjanaks besieged the city of Ber, which had just been set by Bulymer. A new ulubiya commander, Aslan, from the Tauk clan, arrived to his rescue, but Sal-Sal crushed him in a duel with his hands, like a chicken, and after that turned Ber into nothing. The frightened Bulymer resumed the payment of Djir tribute, and decided to steal the money in the war against the Ulak-Bulgar. Having taken a really large booty there, in 995, with the help of Rum masters, he restored Ber and, in memory of Aslan, began to call him Ber-Aslan. Learning about this and suspecting Bulymer of trying to arrange a road from here to the countries of Islam through Dima-Tarkhan, bypassing Bulgar, Timar immediately sent the same Sal-Sal to Rus'. Bulymer recklessly stepped out to meet ours, but near the city of Vasyl all his army was quickly trampled by the kursybay, and he himself survived only because he cowardly hid under the bridge. Since that time, this Ulubiy never again dared to go to battle with the Bulgars. Sal-Sal saw how Ulubiy hid under the bridge, but, pleased with the victory, spared him and pretended not to notice this. He spared the Sardar and the inhabitants of Vasyl and allowed them to leave freely, for they were Anchians, but after their departure he burned the city to the ground, and named his son Vasyl in memory of this ...

Returning from this battle, which he called "Bridge", the sardar spent the night in the menzel Kuba p on the Kubar River. He liked the rest here, and he begged the Mardan ulugbek to give it the second name "Cooper" - in honor of the victory of the kursybay ...

In 996, Sal-Sal demolished all the Balyn fortresses south of Bashtu, and cut down all the Balyns who were in them, and released the Anchians ... In 997, Sal-Sal besieged the last Balyn forces in Challi-Kale. Taking advantage of this, the Anchians, led by their head Asmar, came to Bashtu and demanded that Bulymer stop the hated war and remove all Balyns from Bashtu and Karadjar. Bulymer promised to satisfy all the demands of the Anchians, but after that he secretly fled to Galidj for a new reliable army. But when Sal-Sal prepared to put an end to Challi-Kala, Aidar appeared to him in a dream and said: “You cannot desecrate this place with fire and blood, for here are the graves of the Kara-Bulgar Baltavars.” In the morning, shocked by what he saw, Sal-Sal allowed the Balyns to leave the city alive, and the fortress was simply dismantled ...

Then Bulymer transferred the war to the north, where for several years the troops from the Galidjians and Balyns began to build fortresses around Koba-kul, and ours began to smash them. Finally, in 1006, the entire Balyn army of 40 thousand people, peacefully sleeping at the Tangra-Maidan station at the intersection of the Artan and Koba-Kul roads, was surrounded by Sal-Sal and ceased to exist. Then ours took the Balyn fortress Balyk on Kara-Idel. Here, the prisoners, nicknamed "fishermen", were loaded onto ships and rafts and transported to Bulgar. In memory of this, this menzel was named Yoklama, and its old name was given to the fortress in Baityub, built by 30 thousand captured Balyns. In addition to Tangra-Maidan, they also built Akkerman, Aidar in Baityube ..., and Balikly on Agidel in Kashan ... And under Talib, Sal-Sal, Shonkar, Arslan, Lachyn were built by captive Balyns, redeemed from the Burtases and Batyshs. And the Rum captives built the mosques "Rum", "Alamir", "Dzhalda", a new royal palace and the caravanserai "Tash Yort" in Bulyar...

After the Tangra-Maidan battle, the Second Badjanak War ended, because Bulymer promised not to improve the way to Dima-Tarkhan, resumed the payment of the Djir tribute, opened the Artan way, allowed the Bulgar merchants duty-free trade in Djira and Galidzh and gave his son Yaucha as a hostage. Negotiations went on in Bashta and in the manzel of Yauchy, and from the Urus side there was an ambassador, Frank Boryn. Some said that the station in memory of this received his name, but it seems to me that this is a mistake ... The badjanaks of Kashan, left by ours to the mercy of fate, were forced to accept Christianity of the Frangian persuasion from the hands of Boryn. Then Yauchy, who also accepted Christianity from the hands of Boryn, relied on them in his struggle for the Urussian throne and, after the defeat, went with them to the Modjar state. And Boryn sent his preacher to Bulgar under the pretext of maintaining in Yauchy the inclination towards the impious faith of the dandies. With him, the Kaubuy bek Boyan Ryshtauly came to Bulyar, who gave money for the construction of the Boyan mosque.. And the wicked preacher was called Autun. He persuaded Yauchy to give money for the construction of the caravanserai "Bukhar Yorty" and the construction of a balik for Christians "Bata-Balik", for which he received permission to build a wooden church for the Christians of Bulyar. It began to be called “Bura-Kala”, and in it Autun said that the time was coming for the great eastern people to accept Christianity and punish all sinners around the world ... And when Yauchy was honorably released to his homeland and went to Bashta along Khorys-Yula, then Autun did not go with him and stayed in Bulyar to serve in his church, which was badly damaged during the Sybbulat siege in 1183 ...

When the Badjanak war began, Timar had to return Kashan to Kukcha, otherwise the kursybay refused to fight. But in 1004, when Kukcha died, and Sal-Sal fought in the North, Timar yielded to the demands of the Kazanchis to transfer Kashan to the Uhlan governor. The son of Sal-Sal, the Kashan Ulug-bek Vasyl, was summoned to Bolgar and put in chains, after which a detachment of Kazanchis moved to Kashan. However, the daughter of Sal-Sal Shukria with subash blocked all approaches to the city. Then Sal-Sal arrived in time, having received the news of the death of his father ... The Kazanchis, at the approach of the kursybay, hastily left home, but Sal-Sal unexpectedly came under fire from his own daughter's detachment. It turns out that the father and daughter did not see each other for a long time, and Shukria did not recognize her own father and mistook him for the leader of the Kazanchis. Fortunately, one of Shukria's chirmysh recognized the bek and managed to prevent bloodshed. Delighted by the arrival of the kursybay, the Kashans immediately raised Sal-Sal to the throne of the Ulugbeks. Timar in vain did not recognize the legality of this act, which aroused the indignation of the Kashans. They were immediately supported by those who were dissatisfied throughout the country: the Subashes and Chirmyshs, outraged by the extraordinary military extortions, the Mardanians, who hated the Kan for trampling on their liberties, the Baityubins, who feared the transfer of the lands of Bulyar into the hands of the Kazanchis. Quiet Masgut immediately took advantage of the general indignation and moved with a detachment of Mardanians to the capital. The Kazanchi militia had previously been sent to fight against the Bulyars, who had expelled the Uhlan Ulugbek, and Timar remained in Bolgar with only a small retinue. Masgut surrounded the Mumin citadel and offered the Kan to peacefully leave the throne and retire to Nur-Suvar. Timar involuntarily obeyed, but as soon as he left the gate, an arrow from one of the Belak shooters killed him on the spot.
