The struggle of Khan Taukel for the inclusion of Tashkent and Turkestan in the Kazakh Khanate and the unification of the Kazakh ethnic lands did not cease. In early 1598 in the state of the Shaybanids, a struggle for the throne erupted between Abdullah-khan and his son Abd al-Mumin. Deciding to take advantage of this, Khan Taukel organized a campaign against the Shaybanid state. Incorrectly assessing the power of the Kazakh Khanate, Abdullah-khan tried to stop the Kazakh army only with the forces of border troops. Skillfully leading his army, Taukel defeated the Uzbek army between Samarkand and Tashkent, but he failed to consolidate these territories.[2]
Abdullah-khan, deciding to completely eliminate the threat to his state from the north, personally led a campaign against the Kazakhs, but died en route. Soon after, his son Abd al-Mumin-khan was killed, after which the Shaybanid state began to disintegrate into small holdings. Having received news of this in the summer of 1598, as indicated in the "Tarikh-i Alam-ara-yi Abbasi," Khan Taukel undertook a major campaign in Central Asia.[3]
