Boqimuhammad ascends the throne of Bukhara on the murder of the last Shaybanid ruler, Din Mohammed Khan, and establishes a new dynasty, the Janid, or Astrakhanids.

As a first order of business, he adjusts the foreign and domestic policies of his kingdom so that they will benefit the landlords and the merchants who have propelled him to his high position.

To implement these policies, he strengthens his military and introduces a new system of taxation.

The series of reforms thus launched places a great deal of undue pressure on the people of Bukhara, especially on the Kazakh and Karakalpak tribes to the north.

Boqimuhammad's rash policy decisions will In the long run destroy the good relationship that had persuaded the Bukharans to choose him as their ruler.

Most of Boqimuhammad's rule will therefore be spent putting down rebellions.
