The establishment of Shaybanid rule in Transoxiana and Khorasan
Leaders of the Uzbek tribes in the Dasht-i Qipchaq and the clergy hoped Shaybani Khan would prevent a repeat of the massacres and let them settle in fertile lands, while the people of Transoxiana were tired of the Timurids’ wars. Using the tulghama tactic, Shaybani Khan took Samarkand briefly in 1500 and finally in 1501; Tashkent and Shahrukhiya fell in 1503, Fergana in 1504, and Samarkand became the capital. Close relatives were set up as governors: Kuchkunchi in Turkestan, Suyunchkhoja in Tashkent, his brother Mahmud Sultan in the Bukhara region. Khwarazm was taken in 1505, Balkh in 1506 and Herat in 1507, and so he united the whole region under one centre. At that time Shah Ismail Safavi ruled Iran, whose state bordered Khorasan; in 1510 Shaybani Khan was killed in a battle near Merv and Khorasan passed to the Safavids. In these years many Uzbek tribes moved from the Dasht-i Qipchaq to Transoxiana and Khwarazm and merged with the local population; the name “Uzbek” later became the name of the whole people.
