[1][2] In 1721, a large army led by Aidemir and Musal attacked Terki, as a result of which 11 Russian soldiers were killed and 21 wounded.
A month later, an even larger army was sent against the Endireyans, but even then the Russians failed to score military victories, so they resorted to attacks and campaigns against civilians, leading to the devastation of the Endirey Khanate, Aukh and Ichkeria.
The Senior Chechen prince at that time, Khasbulat Bamatov, was at enmity with Aidemir and wanted to expel him from Chechnya and also restore stability in his state.
[9][10] Hostilities did not end there however, and later that year, the son of Khasbulat, Alibek Khasbulatov, together with the Russian commander, Danila Efremov, invaded and plundered the principality as a revenge for his fathers death.
[6] However, in the same year, he took an oath of allegiance to the Russian Empire, and gave his son Bartikhan[b] as Amanat (hostage) to Kizlyar, where he would grow up.
[11] In September 1735, a 80,000 strong Crimean army led by Qaplan I Giray invaded Chechnya in order to conquer and impose taxation on its people.
[14] Already after the death of Aidemir and during the succession crisis, the large and populated towns of Shali and Germenchuk broke away from the state and got under the control of the Kabardian prince Dawlatgeray Cherkassky.
[17] With her, Aidemir had 3 sons — His oldest one, Arslanbek Aidemirov (also known as Raslanbek), who would be the future Senior Prince of Chechnya.
