With his father Togoon Tumure Khan's death in 1370, eldest son Bilegt Ayushridar became King of Mongolia only, since the Chinese expelled his father from China. Bilegt made Karakorum, the ancient capital city of Chingis (Genghis) Khan again the capital of the much-reduced Mongol empire. He soon had his hands full fighting the Chinese, who pressed their advantage over the border after the fleeing Mongol armies. Bilegt Ayushridar Khan was able to stave off the pursuing armies of the Ming Dynasty. |
