Red Turban Rebellion
A rebellion called the Red Turban Rebellion began in China in the 1350s and the Yuan dynasty was overthrown by the Ming dynasty in 1368. The last Yuan emperor, Toghon Temür, fled north to Yingchang and died there in 1370. The Yuan remnants, which had retreated to the Mongolian steppe, are known as the Northern Yuan dynasty and continued to resist the Ming dynasty until it was conquered by the Jurchen-led Later Jin dynasty (predecessor of the Qing dynasty) in 1635.
