Mengyuan Jinggi Commander: Kuku Timur, was forced to flee, and even the Mengyuan Sichuan envoy who rushed to the rescue of Dadu Road surrendered to the Ming army, so far the 98-year-old Dayuan Mongol Empire collapsed.

At the same time, the Ming Dynasty obtained the right to rule south of the Great Wall, and also gave (Emperor Shun) the title to Mengyuan Huizong, and recognized the legitimacy of the Great Yuan Mongol Empire, but after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, although the Mengyuan Empire lost its rule over the Central Plains, it still has a vast northern grassland region and the northern part of Zhongshu Province, the western part of Shaanxi Province, Sichuan Province, Yunnan Province, Xuanzheng Yuan Jurisdiction, Liaoyang Province, Lingbei Province, Gansu Province, Zhengdong Province, and other places are still under the rule of Emperor Shun of Mengyuan Huizong, as well as the western Wuer, The eastern state of Goryeo and the Liaoyang province of Guangningfu Road, the Mengyuan Taiwei: Zha Tinger Nahachu, were cooperating with the Mengyuan Emperor to prepare for a counterattack against the Ming army, so the Ming always felt a major threat.

In order to fight against the power of the Mengyuan Empire, Ming Taizu sent Ming Zheng Guogong: Chang Yuchun and Ming Cao Guogong: Li Wenzhong, and sent troops to attack Shangdu Road, forcing Emperor Mengyuan Huizong Shun to retreat north to Yingchangfu.

When the bad news came, Emperor Huizong Shun of Mengyuan vomited blood and died in the tooth tent at the age of 50, and the crown prince of Mengyuan fled to Helin under the protection of elite iron cavalry, and met with the Privy Council of Wang Zhi of Henan County of Mengyuan, and was immediately enthroned as the 16th Great Khan of the Great Mongolian Empire in Helin, called the year name "Xuanguang" of "Biliktu Khan", and the first year of Xuanguang was next year, and the title of emperor was abolished. Shi said (Northern Yuan) after ascending the throne that he met the Privy Council of Wang Zhi of Henan County of the Northern Yuan Dynasty who came to Helin: Timur (Wang Baobao), and since then the monarch and ministers have reconciled and put aside their previous grievances and reconciled.

In the fourth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, in 1371 AD, the Duke of Ming Liang: Lan Yu, the former general of the Ming Expedition: Fu Youde, led the troops west to attack Shu to attack the Kuizhou Road of the Ming Xia State, and continued to go south to the Chongqing Road so that the Xia army could not arrive! Persuade Emperor Kaixi of Great Xia: Ming Sheng, surrender to the Ming Empire, and was demoted by Ming Taizu to the title of "Guiyi Marquis".

The general of the Ming Dynasty, Xu Da, was stationed in Beiping Mansion to train soldiers and horses, repair the city to prevent the Northern Yuan army from going south, and often walked up the mountain to see the military and civilian Zhuwei Mansion, and placed 254 tun and more than 1,300 hectares of cultivated land.

At the same time, when the Ming army of the West Road captured Taozhou Road and Minzhou Road, it also marched south into Tubo and other places under the rule of the Northern Yuan Empire to comfort the Marshal Sidu Marshal's Mansion (Tusi Ma Xuanwei Division) of the Hezhou Road, and killed the three kings to force the Northern Yuan Tubo Xuanfu envoy: He Suo Nanpu, accept the Ming army's appeasement and surrender to the Ming.

After learning the news of the death of Mengyuan Huizong, the leaders of the northwest tribes who were originally loyal to the Mengyuan Empire also successively attached themselves to the Ming Dynasty, and the hereditary lord of Mengyuan Town, Prince Xiwujing: Xiao'er Zhijin Bu Na Ra (Mengyuan Shizuwu Emperor: Bo'er Zhijin Kublai Khan, the seventh son of Mengyuan Xiping Prince: the fifth grandson of Erzhijin Oluchi) carried the seal letter issued by the Mengyuan Empire, and led Tubo and other places to comfort the leaders of the departments to Yingtianfu to pay tribute to Daming.
