Oyiradai


Oyiradai was the Mongol Khan of the Northern Yuan dynasty based in Mongolia. Oyiradai ascended to the throne of Khagan in 1415 with the help of the Oirats after Delbeg Khan was killed by eastern Mongols led by Adai Khan or perished in a battle with the Ming Dynasty in the same year. His ascent to the throne was meant to legitimize the Oirats rule because he was a direct descendant of Ariq Bke. Oyiradais reign only covers western Mongolia but this was expanded near his death during his rule, with help from Ming China, western Mongols headed by Toghan launched two significant campaigns in 1422 and 1423 against Arughtai chingsang and Adai Khan respectively, controlling eastern and central Mongol territory, and both resulted in victory for Oirats.
