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.
