structure of the uprising in Karakul, it can be concluded that the common people fought against the rule of 
Shaibanikhan. The Tavorihi Guzidai Nusratnoma states that a poor section of the population revolted in Karakul. To 
appease the rebels, Shaibanikhan (1501) summoned Sultan Hamza, the ruler of Karakul, and sent Sultan Babai in his 
place. However, the people took him captive and made him a beggar. This can be considered as a reference to the 
social composition of the rebels. As a result, the Shaybani army was forced to spend four months to suppress the 
uprising in Karakul. A tower will be built from the heads of 400 captives who were brutally retaliated against by the 
rebels [11, 40]. Information about the Karakul uprising is given in a number of historical literatures, and the 
information in them does not differ much from each other. According to A. Vamberi, the people of Karakul destroyed 
the garrison built by Shaibanikhan under the leadership of Babai Sultan and the revolt was brutally suppressed [5, 
10]. One of the historical sources of that period, “Nusratnoma of Tavorihi Guzidai”, contains information about the 
revolt and persecution of Hamza Sultan, the ruler appointed by Shaybanikhan. To suppress the revolt, Sultans Janibek 
and Muhammad Temur were sent by Shaibanikhan. There are also speculations that the beheadings of captives 
during the uprising were used to build a tower in the horse market [11, 123]. 
 
RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS 
The information about the revolt in Karakul and the bloody suppression of the uprising by the Shaybanids is 
also given in the poetic work "Fathnama" by Mulla Shodi. Although the identity of Mullah Shadi and his writings is not 
sufficiently mentioned in the historical literature, it is mentioned in the historical literature that he was one of the 
servants of Mahmud Shaibani Khan's brother Mahmud [1, 17]. As a result of the suppression of the uprisings in 
Bukhara and Karakul, Shaibanikhan was allowed to go to Samarkand and Babur Mirzani was expelled from 
Movarounnahr. Z.M. Babur's struggle for power in Transoxiana resumed after the death of Muhammad Shaibani Khan. 
Although Babur's military campaign in Transoxiana was carried out with the help of King Ismail Safavid of Iran, there 
is every reason to believe that the coup was a success. According to the sources of that period, including Muhammad 
Haidar Mizo's "History of Rashidi", Babur Mirzo came to Karshi to start military operations in order to seize the throne 
of Samarkand and expel the Shaybanis from Movarounnahr. In the city of Karshi, the ruler of Bukhara region, 
Ubaidullokhan, fortified and organized a defense However, Babur Mirzo did not want to spend much effort on the 
siege and marched on Bukhara, after which the Uzbeks fled across the desert to Turkestan. The author's kindness to 
Babur Mirzo is also evident in the description of these events. When he captured Samarkand after Bukhara in 
September 1511, Babur did not hide the fact that the people were waiting for him with joy [9, 62]. Muhammadyar ibn 
Qatagan, one of the historians of the same period, also contains almost various facts based on the information written 
by Muhammad Haidar Mirza. In particular, Babur Mirza's march to Bukhara and the escape of Ubaydullah's chief 
Shaybanis through the desert to Dashti Kipchak (Turkestan) [8, 127]. Although Ubaydullo Khan fled Bukhara, Babur 
Mirzo was not strong enough in Movarounnahr. The main reason for this was the help of the Safavids, the 
transformation of Shiism into a state ideology in Iran, and the lack of popular support for Babur in the Transoxiana. 
Ubaydullah Khan, who was monitoring the situation in Transoxiana, came to Bukhara, one of the Sunni centers of 
Transoxiana, through the desert in the early spring of 1512 to fight Babur. According to Haidar Mirzo, Ubaydullah 
Khan came to conquer Bukhara via the Ettikuduk road in Kyzyl-Kuda, and between April and May 1512 he defeated 
Babur at the Battle of Lake Malik [8, 133]. Mohammad Haidar Mirzoda said that in addition to Ubaydullo Khan's arrival 
through Ettikuduk, the population of Bukhara was dissatisfied with the Timurid rule, and a revolt broke out over 
rumors that Babur was following the path of the Shiites. As a result, Babur's army of 40,000 men was defeated by 
3,000 Ubaydullah Khan's troops at Lake Malik [9, 375]. Babur Mirza's army numbered 40,000 and was defeated by 
Ubaydullah Khan's army of 3,000 men. Babur Mirza's struggle for the throne of Movarounnah and the process of 
these political realities connected with Bukhara were not born of this. The battle that put an end to the rule of Babur 
and the Timurids in Movarounnahr took place in the fortress of Gijduvan near Bukhara. L. Keren, who gave 
information about the Battle of Gijduvan, referred to this toponym as Taj Devon and mentions it as a small village 
near Bukhara [7, 200]. However, Gijduvan was one of the most important fortresses of Bukhara at that time and 
controlled the whole oasis that captured it. The reason for the defeat in the battle between the Timurids and the 
Shaybanis, who decided the fate of Movarounnahr in Gijduvan. Gijduvan was an important fortress located 6 farsakhs 
(7-8 km) away from Bukhara, and one of the tributaries of the Zarafshan River was an important fortress on the 
island of Kharkanrud, which was formed naturally. V.V., who provided information about the castle. Barthold mentions 
that it was founded in the pre-Islamic period at least in the VI century, was the most important fortress in the 
Bukhara oasis in the X-XVI centuries and was the key to Bukhara [2, 400]. As a result of the above-mentioned 
reasons and factors, the capture of Gijduvan was considered important for the reign of Bukhara. Babur, who had 
invaded Movarounnahr for the second time with the help of Ismail Safavi, and Najmi Sani, the leader of the Iranian 
army, also tried to capture Gijduvan. According to historical sources and literature, Babur and Najmi Sani besieged 
Bukhara and sent Kuchumkhan Temur and Abu Said, the supreme leaders of the Shaybanis at that time, to help the 
besieged Ubaydullah Khan. When they reached Gijduvan, they entered the fort and fortified themselves. He proposed 
to stop the siege and occupy Gijduvan, that Ubaydullo and Janibek sultans pursued the rival who was on their way to 
besiege Gijduvan. It is reported that Janibek stopped pursuing him and attacked from behind Najmi Soni's army, as a 
result of which Najmi and Bayramkhan's army were defeated and they were captured and killed [3, 141-14]. In 
historical sources and literature it is possible to find that the battle of Gijduvan between Timurids and Shaibanis took 
place on November 24, 1512 [8, 133]. Sources also mention another place in Gijduvan district and the fact that the
