Uskhal KhanUskhal Khan, born Tgs Temr (r. 1378-1388), was the Mongol Khan of the Yuan Dynasty in Mongolia. He used the era name Tianyuan (天元). Although Ming sources say that he was a son of Biligt Khan, Tgs Temr was his younger brother. He succeeded to the throne after Biligt Khan died in 1378. He continued to press the Ming from the north, cooperating with Naghachu of the Jalayir in Manchuria. However, he suddenly faced a predicament in 1387 when Nagachu surrendered to Ming for a devastating famine. In 1388 he was raided by the Ming on the Buyir Nuur. In his escape to Khara Khorum, he was killed on the Tuul River by Yesder, a descendant of Arigh Bukha. This marked the discontinuance of the Khubilai line and the rise of the Oyirad.
