Kazakhstan's independence is not a blank slate. It has old traditions.

We must look into the past to understand the present and deal with the future.

Pure pearls like dew on petals lie strewn on the seabed

Pure words that shed tears give birth to sorrowful hearts

Should a storm touch the sea, all the pearls would tumble about

Should a word embrace the soul All misery would vanish

The Great Migration, 1465 Kipchak Steppe

The Great Migration has begun from the western side of the Kipchak Steppe.

It is led by descendants of the White Horde

in direct descent from Genghis Khan and Urus Khan...

...sultans Kerey and Janibek.

The Sultans are now leading their people to the Jetuisu region

in search of the promised land

to find peace and freedom.

May God be with you, my companions.

A mighty empire that was created by Genghis Khan

in the middle of the 13th century over large parts of Eurasia.

A part which was called the Golden Horde, founded by Genghis Khan's eldest son

began to collapse due to internal strife in the 16th century.

The Golden Horde was succeeded by the White Horde ruled by Urus Khan.

In 1428, Barak, the descendant of Urus Khan, was killed by Abulhair Shaibani.

In 1457, Abulhair suffered a defeat at the hands of a western Mongolian tribe, the Oirats.

That was the end of his tyranny on the steppe.

The cooks, 1457 Near the town of Siganak

Broder Kerey!

We have kept the positions. The Oirat retreat, but we can expect more attacks.

We have withstood them, but we have lost many men.

We have lost almost the entire center flank.

Why haven't our allies helped us?

Have no idea.

We have to find out what went wrong.

Kasim! Where is the left flank? Where are Koblandy's kipchaks?

Father, Shaybanshah forced the Kipchaks to stay in Siganak. They won't come.

The argins are not coming, father. Shaybanshah ordered retreat.

-Our soldiers are surrounded. - The Khan has betrayed us.

Have you not understood that the Khan wishes we were dead?

See! The Oirats are coming.

Give me a horse!

Form a circle around the sultans. Cover all angles.

Regards, Janibek and Kerey. I will announce my decision.

Uz-Temir Taichi, if you want us to surrender, you are wasting your time.

We'd rather die.

I know, Sultans.

Shaybanshah has sentenced you to death. That is his wish.

But I will not give him that pleasure.

I grant you life for your bravery.

He gets other details of our pact through the messenger.

The arrow has penetrated so deeply that it is dangerous to pull it out.

-Sheep. -Endure the pain until we get home.

Off!

Jadik, my son. I am proud of you.

This was how the Blue Horde's army suffered a major defeat at the hands of the Oirats.

The fallen warriors were not to be counted.

Abulhair Shaybani lost his eldest son, Shah Budak.

Sultan Kerey lost two sons, and Sultan Janibek his eldest son, Jadik.

The people lost confidence in Abulhair Shaybani.

He could not maintain peace and stability in the Horde.

The Oirats have arrived.

They have burned, killed and raped.

They have dishonored all mankind.

Protect us from the enemies!

Answer me, Kerey and Janibek.

Where is our fatherland?

That which you have endeavored to protect?

Our people are perishing in the grip of slavery.

The blood flows like a river.

You are cursed, Shaybanshah. You are a traitor and a scoundrel.

You have collaborated with the Oirats to harm us. We will take revenge.

Sultan Janibek! I remember your father's rule and also your grandfather's, Urus.

Then there was law and order. Even a lark can build a nest on a sheep.

I plead with you to bring back those days.

Give us back our rule!

Peace be with you.

Have faith.

Oh, this bloody burden, all mankind is dying

We'll never rise again We'll never rise, little foal

1458, byen Siganak

I have half the world in my hand. I can crush it or let it live.

What do you think is the source of my strength? What do I do to maintain power?

Answer me!

You don't know.

You don't know... Now you do.

Death... is the most reliable weapon in my hand... Death.

Come on, you giant!

Poke his eyes out.

What happens? People are sold like animals.

That we must suffer this blasphemy.

O Allah! They sell water now. Soon they will sell air.

The nomads are getting used to it.

They have learned from the townspeople.

If they can choose freedom, they immediately take to the steppes.

Long ago, our ancestor, Genghis Khan, drew

his Diamond Sword to conquer the world.

That weapon was entrusted to me so that I could conquer Transoxania

and then the lands of Egypt.

It is said that a peace pact with the Oirats is to be discussed during the Khan's hunt today.

I wonder what Shaybanshah will say to this.

Since then, all my confederates have

waiting for me to falter.

The most dangerous of them are the leopards Kerey and Janibek.

Remember that your enemies are their offspring, Kasim and Burindik.

Hello, Kasim, little student.

Remember that the world is not ruled by books, but by the sword.

Make sure your brain doesn't crack because of the books.

Come on, Burindik.

Come on.

Show what you can do.

Was that all you could do?

Fencing!

Give up.

Kasim, I want to teach you something.

Swing the sword as you inhale.

I repeat. The world is ruled by the sword, not by the book.

How are the preparations going? The hunt must be a success.

Everything is carefully prepared, sir. The Oirats await your word.

Go to the Oirats and tell Uz-Temir that I will renegotiate the pact.

The two sultans must die after the hunt.

I don't need them on the council.

30 years ago, Abulhair killed Shaibani

The White Horde's Barak Khan with the help of the Nogayl tribe.

At 17, he usurped the throne of the Blue Horde.

Abulhair Khan became the unrivaled ruler of the steppe.

Bow to the great Khan.

It was during his military actions against Transoxania that he took

Rabia Sultan-Begim of Samarkand Emir Ulughbek to his fourth wife.

This is how he entered Temirlan's family and became allied with the emirs of Transoxania.

Gray executioner.

Sultans! Good luck hunting. Let it be a successful hunt.

Wait a minute.

- Greetings, brother Shahmuhamed! - Welcome, Kasim.

I have something for you.

Follow me.

This is a purebred Kazakh sighthound.

It must not be given away. It has the finest pedigree.

It catches a prey in no time.

Accept the gift, Khan.

Lord, the golden eagle has claws of iron.

It's my gift.

Give me a spear.

It is a gift from the Shah of Persia to my father.

Greetings, Aiymbike.

Jahanbike.

Sultan Janibek. Jahanbike is in full bloom, like a red fox in the white snow.

Jahanbike has grown up and become beautiful as a wife should be.

But Rabia is no less beautiful. She is like a moon flower.

If you permit, sir.

I want to give Rabia a present. The hawk is worthy of you.

- I allow it. - It's called Sombalak.

The jumper belongs to my grandfather. It is wild.

But I will tame him. See.

Wait! He obeys only the Khan.

-He wants to throw you off. -Armor! How dare you speak to me?

I am your future Khan.

I can behead you.

We are starting a campaign against the cities of Syr Darya, which are ruled by emirs.

Kerey, you are our leader, speak!

Our people need peace after the war with the Oirats.

Fortune does not always favor those who wage war.

Shahmuhamed. Where can you become the next Khan when it's your uncle Haidar's turn?

I know that Haidar is standing before me.

Grandpa always pats me on the back and says…

"You will be an able khan one day." He never praises Haidar.

Haidar is a weakling.

When my brother Jadik was alive, my father praised us both equally.

Kasim, now don't brag. Your father cannot be compared to my grandfather.

Didn't your father say you were to be Khan after him?

It is said that he will go after the throne himself.

Neither he nor I have such thoughts.

-You should watch your tongue. -I will be khan. Wait and see.

Shahmuhamed! Kasym!

What happened? What are you arguing about?

Kasim still has his mother's milk in his mouth and he thinks he will be khan.

I never said that, Haidar-aga.

Make sure dad never hears those words. Did you understand?

Khan...

Do you understand now?

Are you referring to my defeat of Uz-Temir?

The inept villain in Ulungur?

What do you say, Sultan Janibek?

I hope your words are worthy of a descendant of Genghis Khan.

When we fought the Oirat, someone created a rift between Koblandy and Akjol.

The two groups with you started killing each other.

Many of our warriors fell in that battle, and we received no help from you.

You may know who sowed discord between Koblandy and Akjol?

Koblandy has always honored you as a son honors his father.

Khan!

Khan!

Behold, I have tamed and saddled him.

Se!

Look how brave I am.

-Look how brave I am. - My playful boy. You remind me of me.

- I saddled him. - That's how I was too.

Mister. The preparations are ready.

The hunt can begin.

Get your horses.

Janibek.

Sultan, you must also accept my gift. The Koran belonged to my grandfather.

It has been in my father's library. One day you will find it useful.

You have been gullible since you were a child.

And you haven't changed.

Rabia, if you need my help

-...then send the hawk a message. -Take good care of yourself. See you soon.

Take good care of yourself during today's hunt. May Allah protect you.

See you later.

Get me a horse.

Janibek!

Good job, gray executioner.

-Don't touch the lion. He is mine. -Give me my spear.

Good thing I made it in time, sir.

Who told you to do that?

I would have done it myself.

It does not matter. I am greatfull.

Janibek, watch out!

Why would you kill me? Who sent you?

Response!

This is how scoundrels should be treated.

You saved my life and I saved yours. Now we're done.

Accidents happen on a hunt. If everything goes smoothly, it's a bad hunt.

Where is the mold?

Long live the Khan!

Our Khan has killed a lion.

Our Khan has killed a lion!

Sir, we found two bodies. They have been murdered.

Accidents happen on a hunt. If everything goes smoothly, it's a bad hunt.

Mister! I wish you could hear what the kids are talking about.

Janibek's son said strange things to Shahmuhamed.

We all heard what they said.

What were they talking about?

Kasim, son of Janibek, said

that a descendant of Orde-Yejen should become the next khan.

Kerey was to become Khan of the White Horde once the Blue Horde has fallen.

Shahmuhamed had no opportunity to say anything.

Was there anything else?

Lord, you used to spend more time with me, your wife.

Now you give all your attention to the woman Rabia.

Don't you know she has a relationship with Janibek?

Now that's enough!

Don't slander anyone. It is known that they are childhood friends.

So what?

The Witch of Samarkand has made you lose your sanity.

I hope you won't regret it, sir.

Now I have said what I wanted to say.

Uz-Temirpaladset, 1454

Say the following to him. I determine the terms of the pact.

He must pay a tax in silver and gold because he did not burn down Siganak.

We must also have skilled craftsmen and beautiful young maidens.

Shaybanshah will also give us his 3-year-old grandson as a hostage.

That was all.

May you live long, great oirat leader.

May there be peace between us.

Oh, my little child. How are you supposed to live all alone in a foreign country?

Then that's enough.

We had to sacrifice a white jumper

and say a prayer for

that he comes home safe and sound.

It is not the first time that descendants of Genghis Khan have to live in a foreign country.

If he comes home safely, it is a joy. If he dies, that is his fate.

The people of the Blue Horde bore a great burden after the defeat of the Oirats.

Young people, of both sexes, were enslaved.

They were taken from their homes and families.

The free Kazakhs, proud as the wild steppe deer

had no will to endure.

The shameful pact between Shaybanshah and Uz-Temir

led to the final split between the peoples of the Kipchak steppe.

They were united under their two sultans - Kerey and Janibek.

They called for the assembly of the Kazakhs

and the warrior council of the elders.

The White Horde Council of the Elders, 1458

Our people have had to suffer too much.

Shaynanshah treats them as if they were his cattle.

I suggest we put a stop to it.

Let's free the steppe from oppression.

Let's emigrate to Mongolia.

The fate of the people was decided that night.

The road to freedom is difficult, both for a khan and for the common man.

It involved bloodshed and breaking fraternal ties.

Mother, bless our emigration to new lands.

What awaits us there? Only Allah knows. It will be a difficult journey.

Brethren, it is time for us to fight for our freedom.

If we emigrate, I have to break up with Akkozy.

Tomorrow Shahmuhamed and Kasim will become our enemies.

Do not you think?

Akjol was not the only victim of your deceit. It crushed the entire Alash tribe.

I am a victim of lies. I didn't help Kerey and Janibek when they needed it.

I killed Akjol, my brother and friend.

Let only those who fight for freedom accompany us.

Those who prefer to be slaves can stay behind.

All in good faith.

My children! Let the migration be a success.

Prosperity and happiness!

Let the migration begin!

With Kerey and Janibek in the lead, they set course for De Syv Floders Dal.

It should be a beautiful country where everyone is equal...

With that decision, we thought about the needs of the people. Not on Kasim and Shahmuhamed.

Our attitude towards Shaybanshah is not strange. We were enemies after all.

The country is no stranger to us.

It is inhabited by our descendants, Albanians, Suanes, Dulates, Jalaires.

I believe they will help us in our time of need.

Now let the elders speak.

The Argines have made up their minds. We and Alash are together.

Now we're leaving.

The Kereins have also made up their minds. We will go with you.

- The Naimans are also coming. - The coin raters follow the migration of people.

We are with you too. Let's begin.

The Alash and the Alshin are united in spirit. We go along on the hike.

May Allah be with us. May the Almighty protect us.

A difficult separation awaited many this night.

Among them was Jahanbike, the wife of Sultan Janibek.

Her only sister was the daughter-in-law of Shaybanshah.

The widow of his dead son Shahbudak

and mother of Prince Shahmuhamed.

Execute them all.

Shahmuhamed.

Home are you talking to?

What's going on?

Why do you sit on my father's throne?

What will you? Can't you see I'm busy?

Sultan Shahmuhamed! Your mother is looking for you.

-Mom, you wanted to talk to me. -Greetings, Shahmuhamed.

Greetings.

My boy. I have to tell you something.

Kasim and you are cousins. Your mothers are sisters. Don't forget that.

Never bear arms against them. Swear it to each other.

That is why I summoned you.

Your mothers will witness your vows.

Whatever happens…

Should I think about it now? Like I have nothing else to think about.

Listen to your mother, boy.

It is very important to her.

Kasim, you said you were going to be the new Khan.

Swear by the Koran that you will not oppose my taking the throne.

What are you saying, boy? What are you saying?

Mother, you know very well how much the throne is worth.

Do you really want me to give up my claim on it?

Are you hoping I will drop my claim?

Tomorrow he will stand in my way.

By Allah, whom I will soon meet, and by all present here

I swear it is not worth letting the blood of your relatives flow for the sake of the throne.

Listen, my cousin.

What I said then does not mean that I want to be Khan.

But now...

In front of my mother and your mother, I swear

that I will never seek to gain power through bloodshed.

Especially not your blood. I will never draw my sword against you.

Fine...

Whatever you say, mom.

When my time comes...

...I want to be buried on the steppe.

This palace has become my downfall. Farewell, my sister.

Be happy.

Be happy.

Sir, sorry to disturb you.

What happened?

Kerey and Janibek have started their migration.

Migration? For my sake they can go to the end of the world.

Kipchak-stepping he enormously.

Let them wander where they will.

Kazakhs are like wild animals. They can never be tamed.

Never mind. Even a horse returns home in time.

Forgive us, Khan. We were wrong.

We will see.

I better talk to them.

Shaybanshah's fear was always linked to the Kazakhs.

The Kazakhs were brave. Shaybanshah had to exert himself to keep them at bay.

He sowed discord among the tribes so they fought each other.

That is why Kipchak Koblandy killed Akjol, son of Agryn Kota Jirau.

Oh, my stupid people.

Shaybanshah!

Shaybanshah! Kom ud!

Open the gates!

Where are you from, Koblandy? Why are you so upset?

-Who do you seek? -I'm looking for Shaybanshah.

So get off the horse. Come and honor the Khan, as is our custom.

-Move, Mansur! -Don't be a fool, Koblandy.

Porting Luke. Stands, Koblandy!

Shaybanshah! Kom ud!

Block the way!

What's going on, Koblandy?

I am ready to listen. Is it important?

Listen up! I have served you loyally. I have fought your battles.

My sword has cut down many of your enemies.

But pitting me against my brother? Too bad I saw the betrayal too late.

Did I order you to kill your brother? What are you accusing me of?

You should be more careful with your words.

You are as cunning as a fox.

You had planned it in detail.

Instead of assisting Janibek and Kerey, I fought my brother Akjol.

Now I am a murderer in the eyes of my people.

Turn fox.

Who said you have a people?

You are my watchdog, a club in my hand.

You scoundrel! I have been your faithful lieutenant and you make fun of me.

You take what you've given me. You'll never see me again. Goodbye.

Farewell, Shaybanshah!

Don't slam the door if you want to come back.

Or crawl back, like a dog.

Shall we catch him, sir? We can shoot him, or behead him.

Don't underestimate Koblandy.

He is simple, but a hero.

The anger will subside. He comes back like a dog to his master.

Hello! You can drink it. Come on, everyone!

It can be drunk. Came!

The Kipchak Steppe The Great Migration 1465

The water is sweet as honey.

Get to the source! Let women and children drink first.

Pour some in for me.

How can a donkey survive without its mane and tail?

How can a snake survive without arms and legs?

How can a bird survive without wings?

How can a bald man survive a swarm of knots?

And how can one live surrounded by enemies?

And where is the promised land of Yessen-Buga?

Where should we go...

...when we thirst for freedom...

...whose life-giving water we long to drink.

One day we will experience

the flowing fountain of paradise

and greedily drain it to the last drop.

Ten clans are ten fingers on two hands.

You can make them clench their fists

so they can deliver a powerful blow.

What about the clans that are far from us?

If they don't want to go with us, should we force them to?

We can't force them to do it

without scaring them away.

And then we are no better than Shaybanshah himself.

Do you have something to say, Kasim?

Dad, you once said that we are respected because we are strong.

What is it you want to say?

We must not come to the borders of Mongolia or Turkestan as refugees

but as a people who have emigrated.

Let the descendants of Shaghatay, Temir and even Shaybanshah know

that we represent strength and deserve

to be treated as both enemies and friends.

I suggest the bravest and most eloquent of us

takes five horsemen with him and spreads across the steppe.

Our message must be clear and distinct to every Kazakh.

We must stand united to revive the White Horde and raise the Kazakh flag.

Well spoken, my son.

Only if we stand together

may we reap the fruits of our toil.

Messenger, gallop across the steppe!

Spread the news about the great migration.

Clans, tribes, unite. Join the people's migration!

Follow along to De Syv Floders Dal in the hunt for the promised land.

Unite in one Kazakh nation. From Altai to Atirau, from Arka to Alatau.

The news comes to you from Asan Kaigu and Sultans Kerey and Janibek.

How are you, Sombalak?

Eat. Yes, eat now.

Don't you want to?

Do you miss your master?

I can't forget him either.

But you have wings that can lead you to him.

I have not.

Where do you want to fly to?

Nowhere. I'm just taming Sombalak.

Sombalak.

-Is that the bird Janibek gave you? - Yes, it is Janibek's hawk.

It is very intelligent. It understands everything.

Never mention his name again.

Get the chicken out of my sight. Chickens have no brains!

-What do you mean? - Get rid of it. Kill it.

Never mention him again.

I don't want to hear the traitor's name.

Wasila. Remove the hawk.

My simple people.

You are as hard as the Diamond Sword.

How many battles have you fought? How many times have you died?

You have sparkled in the hands of Genghis Khan and Temir.

You have fought to the death on the side of good and evil.

And what have you achieved? Everything has turned to ashes.

You have become even more beautiful.

These are the hands that touch you. These are the hands of holy Bi-Batimas.

-You noticed me with Rabia. -You just wish.

Wonderful news!

Jahanbike. Wonderful news!

The first child during the migration. Saurarbike has given birth to a son.

- They asked you to give the boy a name. -Brother Kerey, give the boy a name.

Is this Alshin-bi's camp?

Yes, Musa's daughter and Alshin-bi's daughter-in-law have given birth to a son.

Some lungs indeed. A powerful voice.

Our venerable Asar names the boy.

Thus the nomadic clan Alshin-bi had on the banks of the river Yedl

got his first free Alash child.

His powerful scream

was a symbol of freedom.

-Bolat, send messenger to the Nogai clan. -Yes my Lord.

Oh, my wandering people.

Fate has scattered them all over the steppe and divided them into tribes, clans.

In the good old days, the Alshin clan lived on the banks of the Chu River.

They lived in peace with the brothers between the rivers Yedil and Jaik.

They were like children of one father.

Greetings, Uncle Musa. Good news.

You've got a nephew in the Kazakh camp.

The one for you for the good news.

We must celebrate ourselves, Musa. What name has the boy been given?

He was born on a carpet at your daughter's father-in-law Alshin-bi.

-May he have a long and happy life. -May your words come true.

May he be worthy of his people.

What do you mean, Kaztugan? What people are you referring to?

It was right for Kerey and Janibek to leave Shaybanshah.

The incident with the Oirats has only been shameful for the people of the steppe.

Shaybanshah learned to negotiate with the Oirats and has lost nothing.

The elders have decided to team up with Kerey and Janibek.

When it gets warmer, we migrate to Karatau. We are raising the bar in Jetisu.

You are wrong, Kaztugan.

Shaybanshah has given us land to live on

between the rivers Yedil and Jaik.

What can these rebels give us?

You are making a mistake, Musa. Be happy with Shaybansha's gift.

Don't forget that the land belongs to Kerey and Janibek.

You are blind, Musa. You don't see the future.

Wasn't it the Nogai clan, who broke the old rules of the steppe

and ensured that today the Jochi Empire lies in ruins?

The Kazakhs observe the ancient laws.

They have gathered around Genghis Khan's golden seed.

The future belongs to them. Time will show.

What future?

You sound like them, but they will laugh at you.

-What's wrong with the Nogai Steppe? -There is no freedom. Goodbye, Musa.

Uncle Musa, what's going on? Uncle Kaztugan?

You have forgotten that Shaybanshah's only weapon for revenge is death.

I wish you make it to the Kazakhs unscathed. May Allah protect you.

The cat dog! Come back while you can!

The men are restless. Life constantly tests their endurance.

Like children, they try to reach the moon.

When will they find peace? Kerey and Janibek, the worthy men

has chosen a righteous path to lead the people of Alash

to a land of freedom from the scourge of oppression.

Kaztugan, spreading the word across the steppe. They herald the dawn of the Kazakhs.

There is a place called Jetisu at the mouth of Talas and Sarisu.

The storm is howling all the time.

The Kipchak steppe hardens the faces with wind and sand

on the nomads who live in tribes and clans and move like streams

ind i Jestisudalen

and creates a human sea of ​​fury.

Greetings, dear leader!

What tribe or clan are you from?

Dulatklanen, Janis stame.

What is your bid?

Honorable leader. The Kazakhs have arrived at the northern border of your country.

They are led by the descendants of Urus Khan - Kerey and Janibek.

Among them are the Argives, the Naimanites, the Kereyites, the Konirates, and the Alshinites.

The best of all Earth's leaders should know

that we could no longer agree with Shaybanshah

and we ask for mercy for our camp and pastures.

Have a good rest and sleep now. Tomorrow we will let you know our answer.

The people of Mongolia are led by a descendant of Shagatai Khan - Yessen-buga.

The Shagatai dynasty has bitter enemies, the Emirs of Transoxania and Temur the Lame.

It is one thing to openly declare that one is an enemy and a war is being planned against one.

It gets worse when the enemy is in one.

Their goal is to depose Yessen-buga and give power to the elder brother Junus.

You have made the right choice - to welcome the newly arrived Kazakhs

in the border country.

Mongolia was surrounded by enemies.

Said! The Kazakhs may turn on us later.

I would seize their cattle and chase them back where they came from.

I take as much as I give.

The eastern border was besieged by the Oirats, an enemy of them and the Kazakhs.

Kerey and Janibek were aware of it.

-Who let you in? -Uz-Temur Taichi himself.

The Kazakhs camped along the border, sock they had wanted.

The related people were protected from all sides.

You seek war since you have placed warriors along the borders.

Banish Kerey and Janibek or you will regret it.

Ten! How dare you threaten me?

One day we will burn down Almalik.

Goodbye.

When they reached the white-clad mountains of Mongolia

they were overwhelmed with both hope and fear.

Jetisu was inhabited by the Uisuns, relatives of the Kazakhs.

Some Kyrgyz tribes lived in the south.

The Taranshy tribes inhabited the lands closer to Kashgar.

Hovedstaden var Almalik.

Mongolia, 1465 The city of Almalik, Palace of Yessen-buga

Make room for the Kazakh sultans.

Open the gates to the Kazakhs.

Mongolian, 1465 Byen Almalik

Make room for the Kazakh sultans.

The Fugitive Kazakh Sultans.

You had no luck with Shaybanshah and now you want to kneel to Yessen-buga?

Your tongue is false. I hope it gets chopped off.

Not the tongue, but his head must be cut off.

Disappearance from Genghis Khan's Descendants. Who do you think you are?

The great leader and protector of Mongolia, Khan Yessen-buga

let you settle in his land.

Along the entire border of Mongolia, the Blue Horde and the emirs of Transoxania can get.

Along the rivers Chu, Sarisu, Talas and Badam.

You also get the northern slopes towards the Kozybas Karatau mountains.

As we have previously agreed on retaliation

you must send armed men

to the border with Transoxania

and the border against the clans of the Oirats in case of war.

-Give me my seal. -Not so fast, Yessen-buga.

- We also have demands. -Let me hear.

We keep our word and will defend Mongolia's borders.

For that, you must guarantee that we can stay as long as necessary.

Dosmuhamed.

You must supply us with weapons, and will be able to trade.

We apply our own laws and will abide by the covenant.

We left Shaybanshah to live a free life.

We will not pay taxes. This is our third demand.

They mock us, sir. They besiege ours without a fight.

Dosmuhamed! Now that's enough!

One day your son Akjol's dreams will be fulfilled.

The steppe will give you a life of freedom.

Kaztugan is said to have left Nogai

and he leads his clan across the Yedil River towards us.

I think he will join us.

Enemies! Many enemies! They are armed.

Look what they've done!

Hail, Sultans Kerey and Janibek.

We salute you too, Uz-Temir.

I hear you have cut off the tail of Shaybanshah's horse. Is it true?

Yes it is true.

I have my own showdown with Yessen buga. You guys should get out of here.

We have promised Yessen-buga to defend the border against his enemies.

Fate has made our paths meet again.

Once I spared you. If you don't leave, blood will be shed.

I might give you one more chance to escape.

Give me their heads.

The enemy is attacking!

Take the women to the valley and protect the child.

No, I'm going with the female archers.

Be careful.

Line up the carts.

Tighten the bows!

Shoot!

Tighten the bows!

Shoot!

Shoot!

Shoot!

Retreat!

Alash!

Alash!

Tieshi! We have won!

Saruar.

Saruar, say something. Saruar...

Saruar!

I told you not to. I asked you to.

Now who will take care of you, Shalkiiz?

You must endure the pain.

My little friend. That you should be deprived of your mother so early.

Life's sorrow hits you far too soon.

What doesn't kill him makes him stronger.

He is a defender of his motherland, Tienshi.

May Allah have mercy on him.

Brother Kerey. What will Tlenshi do now?

Life is hard on you now.

A warrior does not look after children.

I advise you to give Shalkiiz to the Nogaik clan.

- They are relatives of his mother. -Whatever you say, sir.

This is not the last time we have to fight

for our children and loved ones.

Let us pray for those who fell in battle.

Their souls go to heaven.

Kazakhs, my people. After you have thrown off your heavy yoke

you clench your fists to fight for freedom and go on a journey.

A long journey full of hardships you go through hell.

And that's how you reach your promised land, where peace, equality and freedom reign.

You will find it in Jetisu. May this land be your blessed home.

These are the three requirements.

Now don't look for Almilik's girls. They can twist your head, Burindik.

Who said that?

I heard some traders talking about the beautiful girls.

-Burindik! -Ja, far.

Give me a horse.

Alsheke! You brought the mist from the shores of Chu.

It is very foggy here. You can hardly see anything.

I think you nine can settle on Sarisu's shores.

-Seilbay, you camp upstream. - Thank you, Sultan.

Alsheke, for you we have chosen a perfect place.

Who's galloping here?

-What's going on, Bolat? -Bad news, Sultan Janibek.

-Your wife's sister has passed away. -May her soul rest in peace.

Jahanbeke will travel towards Siganak.

Maybe you shouldn't go to Siganak.

After all, Akkozy was my sister. I will.

I know it's dangerous.

Shaybanshah never gives up.

I am worried for you.

Do I have a choice?

It's out of respect for my sister.

I have made up my mind. I'm going with my mother.

Akkozy...

Forgive me.

Shahmuhamed, it hurts me.

Please accept my condolences.

May her soul rest in peace.

Lower your weapons. Walk away from them.

You left us. Why have you come back?

Shahmuhamed, let us not blame each other in the hour of grief.

- Sir, they are enemies. Catch them. -One more word and your head will roll.

Burindik, there are only you two and a handful of women.

Lower your weapons.

Had it not been a sin to use weapons at a grave, I would have done it.

-What do you say? -Don't touch them. It is an order!

-Return! -But, sir, we have orders to...

You follow my orders, not Ospan Koja's.

They are my relatives. Go!

She called you before she died.

She got nothing from you. Not even a handful of soil.

I grieve too, my boy.

Shahmuhamed, thank you for fulfilling her last wish.

Everyone I loved is gone. First my father... and now my mother.

Say a loving word to her.

Say a word full of warmth.

And then you'll never see me again.

Shahmuhamed, everything is God's will.

Be strong.

My mother's soul is now in heaven. You heard that yourself, aunt.

Go in peace. Go and never come back.

May Allah protect you.

May Allah protect you.

May her soul rest in peace.

I told you so! They are not relatives! They are enemies!

Do you know what Genghis Khan once said?

If you raise your hand to the enemy, strike.

I chopped off my brother's head when he stood up to me.

I pierced my uncle with a spear in front of his family.

They had done the same to me.

They had done that.

A stone has no veins, and a khan has no blood ties. Did you understand?

- It's Sombalak. -What does he want here?

A letter? From who?

Brother Kerey, Kaztugan is in trouble.

Kaztugan is said to have persuaded several Nogai to join the rebels.

We must stop them at all costs.

Men far!

There is no solution to this problem.

-What is it? - You said it yourself - death.

The cat's nest must be hung.

I will wipe out, not only the Kazakhs and the Nogai

but the whole clan of Temur the Lamb.

-Go! -Wait and see.

Sombalak, fly with this message to your master.

Allah, show mercy to my uncle!

By order of the Shaybanshah, you must be executed for treason.

-I'll start with Kaztugan. -Do not.

Well, can we have one last song?

I don't think death will make me regret it.

I am not a traitor.

You don't stop us by hanging me.

You can take my life, but you will never have my soul.

There is no man who would rather die in his bed than on the battlefield.

I am grateful that you fulfill my wish.

I have no one but Tengri to pray to and cultivate.

As you want. Raise the camels.

Shahmuhamed, don't do it.

Uncle Kaztugan!

Oh, you beautiful world.

Stop! Come back!

Surround them!

Surround them!

Take the two alive!

Who is the rider with the black mask? Who does he remind?

Have no idea. Whoever he is, he arrived on time.

Kasim, Shahmuhamed is mine.

He has been captured.

What do we do with him?

His head will be a good present for my father.

Hang him!

Kill him!

Kasim! Don't humiliate me.

Don't let the mob kill me. I am a descendant of Genghis Khan.

Get ready. Pray.

I will fulfill your wish.

Burindik, wait! Don't kill him.

Won't you let him atone for his sins?

There is no mercy on the battlefield. He is an enemy.

-He will die today. -Stop!

What do you gain by killing him? We're just infuriating Shaybanshah.

Innocents will die.

What's the matter with you, Kasim? Have the books made you vague?

Kasim is right. Our people are on the brink of war.

His death will benefit no one.

Why are you hesitating, Kasim? Don't let them humiliate me.

Chop my head off! Chop it off!

Kill him, Kasim. Kill him!

-Kill him! -Come on!

Cut my head off!

Do it!

Get up! Go!

If you want me to greet your aunt, I will.

What are you waiting for? Kill me!

Kill me!

You can go. Give me a horse.

With the power given to me by Tengri

I forbid all connection Kazakhs.

I forbid all trade and all contact. They must not tread on my land.

Whoever helps the Kazakhs, or gives them shelter,

bread or water,

is sentenced to death.

I will show you.

I have experienced a lot. I will survive this too.

Kaztugan left the Nogaik clan.

After many trials they finally arrived at Jetisu.

For two peoples to unite is a great achievement.

While everyone rejoiced at the reunion

came the sad news from Almalik of Yussen-buga's passing.

-Who are those riders, Buryndyk? -They come from Mongolia.

Yessen-buga had supported the Kazakhs.

After his death, his son, Dosmuhamed, became the new ruler.

Kerey and Janibek immediately summoned the Kazakhs to council.

Mount Khan-Tengris, 1466

The day has come to call the Kazakhs together.

There is no man without a head and no people without a khan.

We bow to a khan, who respects the people.

Let us give the reins of power

to one of the descendants of Urus Khan.

You have heard the decision of the people.

They will choose one of us as khan.

What do you say?

I understand...

...that you ask me.

Broder.

Give me your consent. Our people are begging you.

They trust you.

You have their support.

Janibek, you are young and strong in spirit. You can lead the people.

I will be by your side.

O Tengir, give me your blessing.

Give me strength!

Brothers and sisters!

I swear to serve the Kazakh people.

I will serve them loyally for the rest of my life.

O Tengri, we thank you. Amen!

Warriors, lift him!

Alash!

The deliberation of the Kazakhs has come to a decision!

We will reinstate Urus Khan's White Horde.

We will raise the banner of the Kazakh horde!

We are a people now! Your destiny was to raise the banner of the Kazakhs.

May the Khanate flourish!

Janibek, you will lead the people and I will assist you.

You are older and wiser.

- I will assist you in everything. -And I will assist you.

I will bear this burden. I have a wish.

We started this journey together and we will complete it together.

Brothers and sisters!

You placed me on this white carpet and chose me as Khan.

I swear that I will be worthy of your hopes and aspirations.

The Alash people have always wanted to be united.

The Almighty has fulfilled our wish.

Now it is up to us to become a strong and dignified nation.

May our Kazakh people live forever.

Alash!

Alash!

This is how the White Horde was reborn and the Kazakh Khanate formed.

Later came the battle of Siganak, where Urus Khan's golden throne stood.

It was a sacred duty to return it to the Kazakhs.

They were once again face to face with the enemy

who tried to overthrow the flightless bird, the Kazakh Khanate.

My people had to fight several other battles

on their way to freedom.

My future descendants.

I leave you the holy land of the Kazakhs

which has been full of the tears and blood of our ancestors.

There have been over 300 khans in the steppe's 3,000-year history.

Many names have not lived on in the collective memory.

But Kerey and Janibek, who founded the Kazakh Khanate

550 years ago, was always remembered and will never be forgotten.

The Kazakhs finally got a nation worthy of its history.

25 years ago they got their independence.

Today, Kazakhstan is a republic under its leader Nursultan Nazarbayev.

It reappears in the historical arena

and will maintain its independence forever.
