THE TURK RISES AGAINST GENGHIS KHAN: CELALEDDIN HARZEMSHAH When the Seljuk State disappeared in the vortex called time, 


Harzemshah, who served as the governor of Seljukian, filled the dynasty. Family, which is the administrator of Khorezm Province, could use the lack of authority for the benefit of themselves. Alâeddin Tekiş, who was accepted as the supreme ruler of the Kharzem shah with his army consisting of Turkmen and Kipchak, took Horasan 


Mazenderan and the city of Bukhara in a short time. Ultimately, she eliminated the Last Seljuk. The strength of this increasingly strong Muslim Turkish state continued in the time of Alâeddin Muhammet, which took over in 1200. 


The Sultan continued the conquests from where his father left. It extended its borders to the north of Aral Lake on one side, to the sea of ​​Oman on the other, and to the island Azerbaijan area on the other. Harzemşahlar had become one of the most powerful political organizations of the period. While Sultan Muhammet,

who started to be called as the second Alexander, had a mind to take over Syria and Anatolia, the plans of fate were different. A power was rising from the east. And this power was a danger the world has never seen…. 


The Mongolian Khan Temuçin managed to collect all the tribes of his tribe and subjugated many nations around him. 

The Mongols came very quickly to the west, expanding the circle of fire they created. Nobody could stand in front of this nation with a short height and a yellow speck, roasting every piece of land that the invasion could reach. 

Genghis Khan had set his sights on the land he was just a neighbor of. He wanted to see them as one of the tens of nations under his yoke. 

Han's opportunity came to his feet in 1218. A large caravan, sent to the west by Mongols for trade, was stopped in Otrar, one of the border cities of Harzem country. As a result of the decisions of Otrar Governor İnalcık and Sultan Muhammet's arrogant attitude, 

the Mongolian caravan was looted and some Mongolian ambassadors were massacred. This movement was a turning point for the Turkish and Islamic world. The beginning of the fall from the summit was the first step of the invasion… 

Cengiz Han, who gathered all his strength after the Otrar Incident, walked over the Turkish state. Although the Sultan of Harzem wanted to come to Samarkand and fight at first, he was afraid of it. The incredible speed of the horse-archers of Genghis Khan and the ingenious war strategies of the inn made him miserable. 

The Mongols passed through the left and right side of the Turkish country in organized groups. Sultan Muhammet divided his soldiers into castles and cities rather than making a pitched battle against his opponent. He thought that the Mongols would raid around,

but would withdraw when they hit the castles. He immediately took refuge in one of the islands in the Caspian Sea. Genghis Khan began to invade the country whose leaders disappeared. He took all the unsurrendered castles in the most brutal ways. 

Khan sent his commanders such as Cebe and Sübedey to the inner parts of the country. The Mongols were saying to these commanders and some Noyans: “They are the Four Dogs of Temujin." Their foreheads are made of copper, their jaws are like scissors, 

their tongues are like crocheting, their heads are made of iron, and they have swords that they use as a whip… When the day of the war comes, they lick and swallow the enemy meat Be careful, they got the bit between one's teeth, and they cheerfully dribble. 

These four dogs are Cebe, Kubilay, Çelme and Sübedey. ” Cengiz knew that it was difficult to keep it because of the large population in the cities they bought. Because the number of Mongolian soldiers was very low compared to Turks and Muslims. So he used the shortest and most precise way to establish his authority: 


Massacre… He did not pity the people of the resisting cities, passed the sword without saying that he was a child. With the narration of that day, mountains were formed from corpses. 

Those unique cities of Turkish homeland Maveraunnehir were looted; Bukhara, Samarkand, and many other cities had turned into a dark age. Historians who lived at that time said that these regions would no longer reach the same magnificence until the apocalypse. The bright light of the Turks was gradually diminishing…. CELALEDDIN HARZEMSHAH Celaleddin Harzemshah during the Mongolian Invasion He was the son of Sultan Muhammet, who had taken refuge in Hazar,

 from an Indian. According to sources, the last Harzemshah was short, fat and very brunette. His appearance was a complete Turkish type He spoke Turkish. Besides, he knew Persian as well. It was calm nature and would not swear at anyone. He spoke little. He was serious and dignified. By the way, he could be a brutal person. Celalettin wanted to fight the Mongols, 

but his father did not let him go away himself. The crown prince, when his father passed away in 1220, took allegiance and took the throne right there. Sultan Celâleddin wanted to run a horse in the square, to overcome the events caused by the rotating angel, 

to distribute the dust of mischief scattered all over the place, and to blunt the sharp sword drawn by fate. He went to Ürgenç side of the capital with his brothers. Upon arriving at the Khwarezm region, the Kipchak soldiers located here opposed Celalettin's sultanate. Terken Hatun, 

the mother of ex-Sultan Muhammad, was a Kipchak Turk and wanted to overtake a Kipchak grandson Uzlag Shah. Realizing that the situation was going bad,

Celalettin moved to Horasan with very few men. with very few men. His brother Uzlag and Ak Shah also seized the army and started following to kill their brothers. Of course, it wasn't just his brothers who followed Celalettin, the Mongols were also looking for him. One of the armies sent by Cengiz met Uzlag Shah's army in the Horasan region and defeated them. 

The two princes could not escape being killed. Mongolians helped Celalettin about their siblings, even though they did not want to. The Sultan, who continued on his way, arrived at Gazne through Herat in 1221. This was the city where he served as governor. That's why his population and real strength were here. Emin Melik welcomed him with a force of 50,000. 

Then Sultan İğrak and Gur men entered the banner of Celalettin. In this way, the Sultan did his job and the number of his soldiers increased and strengthened. When the flowers started to bloom in the first days of spring, he left Gazne and took the road of Parvan. When Genghis Khan heard that Celalettin was recovering, he immediately trusted Sigi Kutuku with 30 thousand soldiers. 

Considering the Mongolian armies, it was a voluminous force with 30,000 horsemen and had a devastating effect. A week after the Sultan's arrival in Parvan, the Mongolian army appeared in front of the city during mid-morning. The Sultan, 

whose army consists of Turkmen and Afghans, came out of the city and stood before the Mongolian army. He entrusted Emin Melik with his right-wing and Seyfeddin Melik İgrak with his left-wing and took his place in the center. He then ordered his armies to tell all cavalry to go to war and sacrifice their lives without hesitation.
