Timeline

  1. 1328Shangdu · Inner MongoliaAfter the death of Emperor Taiding in 1328, El Temür and others at Dadu sought to welcome Tugh Temür, son of Wuzong; meanwhile, chancellor Daula-sha and others at Shangdu enthroned the young Ragibagh, aged only a few years, changing the era name to Tianshun, creating a situation in which each of the two capitals had its own emperor.
  2. 1328–1329Shangdu · Inner MongoliaIn October 1328, El Temür led troops against the Shangdu forces at Zijing Pass and elsewhere; the Shangdu army was defeated. Powerful ministers such as Daula-sha were executed, Ragibagh was deposed, and shortly afterward killed. The War of the Two Capitals ended in a complete victory for Wenzong's faction at Dadu, and Ragibagh became one of the shortest-reigning emperors in Yuan history.
