Historical references
The term 'Bazij' was first used during the early Islamic period, specifically during the Abbasid Caliphate (750-1258 AD) when the caliph al-Muqtadir (908-932 AD) founded a military corps called the 'Bazij' or 'Bazargan'. This corps was composed of foot soldiers and was intended to serve as a counterbalance to the heavily armored and mounted cavalry forces. The Bazij were known for their agility and ability to fight in tight spaces, making them effective in urban warfare.

Later, during the Safavid Empire (1501-1736 AD), the term 'Bazij' was used to refer to a type of infantry unit that was organized into a separate military force. These troops were heavily armed with muskets and were used primarily for siege warfare and urban combat. The Bazij played a crucial role in several key battles during the Safavid Empire, including the Battle of Sis (1596 AD) and the Battle of Ganja (1603 AD).
