Ukhaantu Khan, born Toghun Temür, the Yuan Dynasty Emperor of China, a khanate of the Mongol Empire, has lost China to the Ming Dynasty, and concentrates his preparation for reconquest of China at Khara-Khoto.

He dies here in 1370 and his son Ayushiridara succeeds to the throne.

The Mongolia-based empire maintains its influence, stretching its domination from the Sea of Japan to Altai Mountains.

There are also pro-Mongol, anti-Ming forces in Yunnan and Guizhou.

Even though its control over China had not been stablized as yet, the Ming considered that the Yuan had lost the Mandate of Heaven when the dynasty abandoned Dadu, and that the Yuan had been overthrown in 1368.

The Chinese do not treat Toghun Temür after 1368 and his successor Ayushiridar as emperors.
