Thedetailed
description
of
the
events
is
the
following:
Ja'far-qoli
Aqa,
the
son
of
Muhammad
Hasan
Aqa,
was
always
on
badterms
with
his
uncle
Mahdi-qoli
Khan.
On
account
of
the
inducement
of
the
aforementionedKhan
the
Russian
Government
summoned
him
to
Tiflis,
then
to
Russia.
When
he
was
arrestedand
led
away,
reaching
to
the
river
Tartar,
he
asked
an
officers
of
his
guard
to
allow
himcross
the
river
on
horse,
because
he
feared
from
passing
it
in
a
carriage.
Then
he
mounteda
horse
and
made
his
escape.
He
gathered
around
some
of
his
subjects
and
left
forQizilbashs'
State.
At
that
time,
Abbas
Mirza
had
come
with
his
army
and
stoppedat
a
place
called
Aslanduz,
by
the
bank
of
the
Arax.
In
the
winter
of
the
same
year[Ja'far-qoli
Aqa]
led
Prince
Abbas
Mirza
with
his
soldiers
and
artillery
tofight
against
Mahdi-qoli
Khan.
The
latter,
at
that
time,
had
come
to
the
place
calledQorchi
and
was
engaged
in
quietening
the
Tarakeme
tribes.
A
severe
battle
continued
twodays,
a
great
number
of
Qizilbashs
were
murdered
there.
At
last
the
Tarakeme
and
otherMoslem
tribes,
under
the
threat
of
Qizilbashs'
plunder,
were
persuaded
to
come
to
the[Russian]
camp.
But
when
the
women
of
the
tribes,
got
in
the
rows
of
Russian
troops,
theyput
them
into
confusion.
The
enemy,
in
front
of
the
army
and
the
tribes
behind
it,
smashedthe
Russians.
Some
of
them
yielded,
the
rest
were
murdered.
Mahdi-qoli
Khan,
thence,
escaped
to
the
Shushi
fortress.
In
the
same
winter
Ja'far-qoli
Aqa
with
many
of
his
tribes
andsubjects,
moved
(118a)
to
the
Qizilbash
[country].
He
also
stayed
there
until
the
year
thepeace
treaty
was
signed.
Then,
again,
returned
to
Karabagh.
When
the
news
about
the
Qorchi
got
to
General
Marquis,
he
made
forKarabagh
and
soon
arrived
at
Shushi.
He
reproached
some
of
his
men
for
that,
then
gettinga
letter
from
his
wife
about
the
revolt
risen
by
the
Georgians
in
Kakhet
and
Qisiq,
hastened
to
Tiflis.
Although
he
had
apprehensions
from
the
Qazakh
tribes,
they
met
him
onhis
way
and
conveyed
with
honor
to
Tiflis.
He
attacked
the
rebelled
Georgians
many
timesand
robbed
them.
At
that
time
word
spread
about
the
campaign
of
the
French
against
Russia.
General
Marquis
was
relieved
of
his
post
and
called
back
to
