Reign

In an attempt to consolidate his control over Qara Del in Hami, the Khagan murdered Engke-Temur who allied with the Ming Dynasty.[3]

In 1402, he was defeated by Gulichi (possibly with Arughtai), who killed him as a result. Several months after his death, his crown was succeeded by his younger brother Öljei Temür Khan Bunyashiri.

gollark: Fair. Hopefully it'll eventually get standardized and they won't be able to go around blocking secure traffic without just disconnecting themselves from the internet. Which they... could still do, I guess.
gollark: Odd of them to block it when it's still in a draft form and not implemented in browsers (or at least not on by default).
