Khanate of Khiva

TIMELINE:
1511
The new Khan began to hire tax-collectors, and many other workers for his many government jobs, to supply the new nation with enough food and wealth to sustain any threats from the other nearby Khanates or nations. The tax of Khwarazam was 1 head of cattle per person, per tax collection, or, if this was not possible, supplies, such as building supplies or joining the army would need to be provided. But should one not provide the tax necessities, they were jailed in the dungeons of Urgench. The army of Khwarazam was also rapidly grown, due to fears of the Khanate of Bukhara, and rouge tribes, located on the outer boundaries of the khanate, which would attack for wealth and food.

A rebel Turkmen tribe, namely the Balkan Turkmens, attacked the city of Köneürgench, as the sun went down on February sixth. The Turkmen were rebelling over how they has to pay tax to Khwarazam, when they did not want to be a part of the society of the nation. Köneürgench was in a full siege by the time the army arrived from Fort Nukus the next day, and it took almost 4 hours of fighting for the Khwarazami to re-gain access to the city. The Turkmen would not back down, and still controlled most of the city by the dusk of the second day, and the siege on the city had resumed by nightfall. The next morning, several hundred soldiers arrived from Urgench, and by midday of the third day, had ridded all of the rebel Turkmen from the city, before rescuing the affected citizens of the city, which had survived during the siege.
Of the 3,245 resedents of the city, 224 had been murdered and robbed by the tribesmen, but most of the city remained intact, giving the surviving thousands somewhere to continue living, in peace. In response, the military of Khwarazam held siege to the tribe where the rebels had originated from, and in a single night, killed the half of the tribe. From this day forward, the surviving Balkan Turkmen, and many other Turkmen tribes threatened to ransack more cities, in revenge, and commonly sent elders to Urgench to warn the Khan's advisors of what they were planning. The Khan in response placed his military in every town and city, in the vicinity of the Turkmen tribes, to keep the citizens safe from the rebel tribesmen. Khwarazam did still have a firm grip on the tribesmen, however, and they did still pay their taxes, and served for their nation, but were often attempting to publicaly show their displease at the Khan, and at the nation.
Many Turkmen supported the peace, and a huge re-settlement took place, with thousands of Turkmens moving to Urgench, or moving to other cities in the South of the nation, such as Dashoguz, showing the newfound peace in the nation. Many Turkmens were forced into the military, and the military helped in campaigns across the South and East of Khwarazam, resulting in a strong nation, and a large, and fast expansion of borders on the Caspian Sea, and Amu Darya river, which was ever-constantly shifting it's course along the infertile Kara Kum. Of the Turkmen that remained in a tribal life, they had to pay tax on time, and were almost always put under extra scrutiny, for their pervious history of resistance and restlessness. New laws, directed from the Khan, were also taught to these tribesmen and women.
