Chagan Temur was a Naiman, born in the first year of Zhihe.

He was studious since childhood, and later took the imperial examination and became a Jinshi, which was quite famous at that time.

Chagan Temur was seven feet tall, with eyebrows longer than his eyes and three hairs on his left cheek that would stand up when he was angry. He had the ambition to restore the current situation.

In May of the 11th year of Zhizheng, the Red Turban Army in the north launched an anti-Yuan uprising and quickly occupied Yingzhou, Bozhou and other places.

Within a few months, all the counties in the Jianghuai region were occupied by the Red Turban Army.

The Yuan court sent troops to suppress the rebellion, but most of them returned in defeat.

"In the 12th year of Zhizheng, Chagan Temur took the lead in organizing landlord armed forces, gathering hundreds of local people, calling them righteous soldiers, and combined with the local righteous soldiers organized by Li Siqi, the clerk of Luoshan County, and used a strategy to defeat the Red Turban Army in Luoshan."

"At that time, the Yuan Dynasty's official army was unable to defeat the enemy, and suddenly the landlords' armed forces emerged to recapture the city. Therefore, the court highly praised Chagan Temur's practice of organizing local armed forces, and appointed Chagan Temur as Zhongshun Doctor and Darughachi of Runing Prefecture, and appointed Li Siqi as the prefect of Runing Prefecture."

"Since then, the Yuan court has attached great importance to the use of landlords' armed forces, and set up Yibing Wanhu Mansion and Maohulu Yibing Wanhu Mansion in Henan and Huainan, etc., exempting local farmers from corvée and preventing them from responding to the rebellion."

"With the support of the imperial court, Chagan Temur's righteous army developed rapidly and soon recruited more than 10,000 people. They formed their own army and stationed in Shenqiu. They won many battles with Liu Futong's Red Turban Army and forced the Red Turban Army in the north to a low ebb."

"In February of the fifteenth year of Zhizheng, Liu Futong and others from the Red Turban Army welcomed Han Lin'er from Jiahe, Dangshan, and established him as the emperor, calling him Little Ming King. They established their capital in Bozhou, named the country Song, and changed the era name to Longfeng. The uprising of the Red Turban Army once again reached its climax, and the prefectures of Deng, Xu, Song, and Luo south of Bianliang were all occupied by the Red Turban Army."

"Chagan Temur stationed at Hulao to contain the Red Turban Army."

"In November, Liu Futong's Red Turban Army crossed the Mengjin River to the north and captured Huaiqing."

"Chagan Temur led his army to fight against the Red Turban Army, and the Red Turban Army retreated."

"In recognition of his achievements, the Yuan court promoted him to be the Minister of the Ministry of Justice and later to the rank of Zhongyi Dafu."

"At that time, the Miao army stationed in Xingyang rose up in rebellion against the Yuan Dynasty. Chagan Temur attacked them at night, captured them all, and stationed them all in Zhongmu."

"Not long after, 30 Red Turbans from Huaixi attacked Zhongmouying. Chagan Temur led his people to resist vigorously. The Red Turbans could not hold on and fled, abandoning their flags and armor. Chagan Temur chased them for more than ten miles, and countless Red Turbans were killed."

"In the 16th year of Zhizheng, Chagan Temur was promoted to the position of Minister of the Ministry of War and advanced to the rank of Jiayi Dafu."

"In September, Liu Futong sent Li Wu, Cui De and others as the Western Route Army, which broke through Tongguan, and then conquered Shanzhou and Guozhou, and controlled Xiao."

"Dashibadulu, the Minister of Henan Province of the Yuan Dynasty, ordered Chagan Temur and Li Siqi to go there to encircle and suppress the rebellion. Chagan Temur led his army westward and captured Xiaoling at night. He then attacked Shanzhou, but the city was strong and could not be breached. He then attacked Lingbao City and conquered it."

"Li Wu and Cui De fled across the river into Shanxi, and successively conquered Pinglu and Anyi, with Chagan Temur pursuing them relentlessly."

"Li Wu and Cui De returned and captured Yangjin. They held off the Yuan army for several months, but eventually retreated because they were defeated."

"Chagan Temur was promoted to Zhongfeng Dafu and Assistant Privy Councilor of Hebei Province for his military merits."

"At the beginning of the 17th year of Zhizheng, Li Wu and Cui De occupied Shangzhou and attacked Wuguan."

"In February, they captured Qipan and occupied Lantian. Their vanguard reached Bashang and approached Fengyuan Road, the capital of Shaanxi Province, and divided their forces to attack Tongzhou."

"Shaanxi Province sent out urgent requests. The Yuan court urgently ordered Chagan Temur, Li Siqi, Liu Halabuhua and others to go to the rescue from Shanzhou and Tongguan."

"The Red Turban Army encountered Chagan Temur and was slaughtered again. The remaining troops were defeated, crossed the Nanshan Mountains, and turned to attack Xingyuan."

Su Shi: The court highly commended Chagan Temur and appointed him as Doctor Zishan and Left Prime Minister of Shaanxi Province.

In the intercalary ninth month, Liu Futong sent Bai Bushin, Dadao Ao, Li Xixi and others to march north from Sichuan to conquer Qinzhou and Longzhou, advance to Gongchang and attack Fengxiang.

Chagan Temur first sent troops to defend Fengxiang City, and then lured the Red Turban Army to besiege Fengxiang.

The Red Turban Army was unaware of the plot and sent a large number of troops to besiege the city. Chagan Temur personally led the cavalry and rushed 200 miles day and night to the outside of Fengxiang City, encircling the city from the left and right wings. The Yuan army in the city opened the gates and went out, forming a joint attack from both inside and outside.

The Red Turban Army was defeated and trampled on each other. Tens of thousands of people were killed and their corpses were scattered over a hundred miles.

The Western Red Turban Army never recovered from this defeat. Li Xixi went south to Sichuan, while Li Wu and Cui De moved to Ningxia.

In February of the eighteenth year of Zhizheng, Mao Gui, the leader of the Red Turban Army in Shandong, began to march north and approached the capital.

The Yuan court was in a panic and urgently summoned troops from all directions to defend the country, and ordered Chagan Temur to station troops in Zhuozhou.

Chagan Temur left troops to garrison Qingqiu and Yigu, and stationed at Tongguan and Sainan Pass to prevent the Shaanxi uprising army from rising again, and then personally led elite cavalry to Hebei.

At that time, the Red Turban Army led by Guan Xiansheng, Po Tou Pan and others crossed the Taihang Mountains, broke Shangdang, attacked Jinning, and sent troops south.

Chagan Temur sent his generals Guan Bao and Hulinchi to guard Shangdang. Guan and his men conquered Liaozhou but were quickly repelled by Hulinchi. Guan and his men then occupied Jining.

In order to curb the Red Turban Army's southward advance, Chagan Temur sent troops to ambush at the pass in the southern part of Taihang Mountain, and personally led a large force to garrison in Wenxi and Jiangyang.

As expected, the Red Turban Army went south through Nanshan, where they were ambushed by the Yuan army and suffered heavy losses.

Chagan Temur divided his troops and stationed them in Zezhou, blocked Liuzi City, stationed them in Shangdang, and blocked Wuer Valley;

They stationed in Ji Ning and blocked the Jingxing Pass in order to block the passage to the Taihang Mountains, making it impossible for the Red Turban Army in the middle route to move in Shanxi. They left Shanxi and headed north, turned to attack Hebei, and marched into Shangdu.

Chagan Temur was promoted to the position of Right Prime Minister of Shaanxi Province and Assistant Censor of Shaanxi Province, and co-director of Henan Province's Privy Council.

Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty, Toghon Temur, relied heavily on Chagan Temur and issued an edict ordering him to guard Guanzhong, Shanxi, and Ji, pacify Han, Mianyang, Jing, and Xiang, and to handle foreign affairs at his discretion.

In May of the 18th year of Zhizheng, Liu Futong captured Bianliang and the Song regime moved its capital there.

Although the Red Turban Army in the north failed to capture Dadu, armies rose up from Shandong in the east to Gansu in the west, Liaoyang in the north, and Jianghuai, Jingchu, and Bashu in the south. The power of the Song regime reached its peak.

Chagan Temur had to withdraw his troops and stationed them in the border area between Shanxi and Henan, blocking Taihang Mountain in the north and guarding Gong and Luo in the south. He personally led the central army to garrison Mianchi.

At that time, Liu Futong's general Zhou Quan attacked Luoyang, and Chagan Temur led his elite troops from Yiyang to rescue Luoyang. Zhou Quan failed to capture Luoyang and retreated.

The Yuan court promoted Chagan Temur to the position of Pingzhang Zhengshi of Shaanxi Province, and he still concurrently served as the co-director of the Privy Council.

"At the beginning of the 19th year of Zhizheng, the Red Turban Army of the Song regime failed to achieve its expected goals and gradually declined."

"At that time, Mr. Guan and his central army captured Shangdu and turned to attack Liaoyang;"

"Mao Gui of Shandong was killed by Zhao Junyong of Huai'an who came to seek refuge with him, and the Red Turban Army of Shandong slaughtered each other;"

"A branch of the Western Army led by Li Wu and Cui De entered Ningxia." "As a result, the Song Dynasty's capital, Bianliang, was isolated and helpless."

"In May, Chagan Temur began to mobilize troops to attack Bianliang. He personally led the army to Hulao Pass and sent troops to the south of Bianliang to attack Gui, Bo, Chen, and Cai. "

"The northern route goes out of Biandong, and we dispatch warships to follow the Yellow River, and we go down by land and water to attack the area south of Caozhou and hold Huangling."

"He also dispatched troops from Shaanxi to go out of Hangu Pass and across Hulao Pass;"

"The troops from Shanxi crossed the Taihang Mountains and the Yellow River, joined forces at the foot of Bianliang City, and captured the outer city of Bianliang."

"Chagan Temur personally stationed in the Xinghua Camp and commanded the troops to build camps around the city of Bianliang, encircling it tightly."

"Liu Futong's rebel army has been defeated in many battles. There is no reinforcement from outside and no food from inside. The situation is extremely critical."

"In August, the city ran out of food and grass, so Chagan Temur discussed with generals Yan Sixiao, Li Keyi, Hulinchi, Guan Bao and others to attack from different gates."

"At night, the Yuan army climbed the city walls and broke through the gates. Liu Futong and hundreds of cavalrymen escorted the Song ruler Han Lin'er to escape from the east gate. The Yuan army captured the "empress" of the Song regime and tens of thousands of family members of the rebels, as well as more than 5,000 Song government officials."

"After the Yuan army captured Bianliang, the rebels lost Henan, and Chagan Temur's power was greatly boosted. He went to Dadu to offer his congratulations and was awarded imperial robes and a seven-treasure belt."

"The court promoted him to be the Minister of Henan Province for his meritorious service, and concurrently the Minister of the Henan Privy Council and the Chief Censor of the Shaanxi Provincial Office."

"So Chagan Temur divided his troops into garrisons in Guanshan, Jingxiang, Heluo, Jianghuai, and stationed a large number of troops in Taihang, with the camps and flags visible for thousands of miles."

"His troops repaired their vehicles, ships, and weapons every day, ordered the soldiers to farm and store food, trained the soldiers, and planned to retake Shandong on a large scale."

"The Yuan army achieved a temporary victory on the battlefield, and conflicts between the warlords also emerged."

"The left prime minister of Henan Province, Dashibadulu, who had repeatedly fought against the Red Turban Army of Liu Futong in the Central Plains at that time, was from the Mongolian Shanzhudai family of meritorious officials. His status was higher than Chagan Temur's, but his record was far inferior to Chagan Temur's. Chagan Temur was proud of his merits and was quite dissatisfied."

"In February of the 20th year of the reign of Emperor Zhizheng, Dashibadulu's son, Boluo Temur, was promoted to the position of Minister of the Central Secretariat, and defeated the Red Turban Army in the Xinghe area. The court ordered him to lead all the Mongolian and Han armies and act as he saw fit."

"The brilliant Chagan Temur was certainly not convinced by the young and aggressive Bolo Temur."

"In order to avoid friction between the two sides, the imperial court ordered Bolo Temur to guard the area north of Shiling Pass and Chagan Temur to guard the area south of Shiling Pass."

"In September, Bolo Temur sent troops from Shiling Pass to besiege Jining, which was guarded by Chagan Temur's troops, and then retreated to Jiaocheng."

"In October, the court ordered Borod Timur to defend Jining. Borod Timur sent his generals Bao Bao, Yin Xingzu and Gao Tuo to enter the city, but the commander of Jining refused to accept them."

"At the same time, Chagan Timur sent his generals Bai Suozhu and Chen Bingzhi to lead a large army to fight, but they were defeated by Boluo Timur's general Toluibe."

Wang Anshi: Emperor Shundi of Yuan Dynasty ordered Pingzhang Dashi Temur and Canzheng Qishi to go and persuade him, and Bolo Temur then withdrew his troops and returned to his original base.

But the hatred between the two sides was deep, and reconciliation was impossible.

The various Red Turban Army units continued to attack each other. After Chagan Temur occupied Bianliang, he learned that the Red Turban Army in Shandong was fighting each other, so he decided to launch a large-scale attack on Shandong.

In June of the 21st year of the reign of Emperor Zhizheng, Chagan Temur summoned generals from all over the country in Luoyang to discuss the strategic deployment of the attack on Shandong:

The Bingzhou army marched out of Jingxing, the Liao and Qin armies marched out of Handan, the Ze and Lu armies marched out of Cizhou, and the Huai and Wei armies marched out of Baima, and advanced side by side with the Bian and Luo armies by land and water.

Chagan Temur personally led the elite cavalry, crossed Mengjin, passed Huaiqing, and marched eastward while beating drums.

In July, Dongchang and Guanzhou were occupied. In August, Chagan Temur's army arrived at Yanhe and sent his adopted son Kuokuo Temur, Yan Sixiao and others to attack Dongping with 5 elite troops in conjunction with Guan Bao and Hulinchi.

The Yuan army built a pontoon bridge from Donghe River to cross the river. Tian Feng sent 20,000 troops to seize the bridge. Guan Bao and Hulinchi fought and crossed the river. The Yuan army defeated the Red Turban Army twice, occupied Changqing, and approached the city of Dongping.

Tian Feng sent his general Cui Shiying and others to fight, but they did not win.

Taking into account that Tian Feng had occupied Shandong for a long time and most of the soldiers and civilians were dependent on him, Chagan Temur wrote him a letter to explain the principles of obedience and rebellion.

At that time, Tian Feng led his troops to attack Muling Pass and sent someone to reply to Chagan Temur.

When Chagan Temur heard this, he was overjoyed and ordered Tian Feng to be the vanguard and follow the Yuan army eastward. Wang Shicheng of Dongping, Yu Ding of Dizhou, Yang Cheng of Dongchang and others all surrendered.

Chagan Temur promoted Tian Feng to the position of Pingzhang of Shandong Province according to the imperial court's appointment.

At that time, the generals of the Shandong Red Turban Army gathered in Jinan and decided to send troops to Qihe and Yucheng to fight against the Yuan army.

Chagan Temur divided his troops into three routes: the northern route attacked Jiyang and Zhangqiu; the central route was led by Chagan Temur himself to attack Jinan;
The Yuan army attacked Tai'an and Yiyang from the south. Chagan Temur's central army crossed the Daqing River and fought a fierce battle with the Red Turban Army in Fenqi. The Yuan army won and approached the city of Jinan.

At that time, the Yuan army in the north occupied Qihe and Yucheng, and the Yuan army in the south also reported victory.

Seeing that Jinan was in danger, the Red Turban Army in Yidu sent troops to rescue it. They fought a fierce battle with Chagan Temur's army at Haoshi Bridge and were defeated by the Yuan army.

The Yuan army took advantage of the victory to besiege Jinan and divided its troops to capture other prefectures and counties in Shandong that were controlled by the Red Turban Army.

The Yuan army besieged Jinan for three months and finally captured it.

The court promoted Chagan Temur to the position of Zhongshu Pingzhang Zhengshi, and the director of the Henan and Shandong branches of the Privy Council, while he continued to serve as the acting secretary of the Shaanxi branch.

After the Red Turban Army lost Jinan, only the isolated city of Yidu remained.

Yidu was the seat of the Quanyi Du Province of the Song Dynasty. Mao Gui was originally the provincial governor. After Mao Gui was killed, everyone supported Mao Gui's son as the provincial governor, who was called Little Mao Pingzhang.

Xiao Mao was young and unable to control his troops, and the Red Turban Army in various parts of Shandong fought independently.

After the Yuan army conquered various parts of Shandong, the defeated Red Turban Army gathered in Yidu for a final desperate resistance.

Chagan Temur marched eastward from Jinan and besieged Yidu. Tian Feng met Chagan Temur in the west of Yidu.

Chagan Temur ordered his troops to set up camps around Yidu City, in dozens of places in total, and then launched a large-scale attack on the city, advancing from hundreds of directions.

The Red Turban Army defenders in Yidu put up a desperate defense, while the Yuan army dug deep trenches, built long fences, and diverted water from the Nanyang River into the city.

In the 22nd year of Zhizheng, the Yuan army besieged Yidu for several months.

At that time, Tian Feng camped at the south gate of Yidu and frequently went to Chagan Temur's camp to discuss matters. He saw that Chagan Temur was very arrogant and rude to the ministers of the court, and he used his mind to scheme against them, without any sign of loyalty, so Tian Feng was very angry.
