Naghachu

Naghachu (d. 1388) was a Mongol general of the Northern Yuan who held out in Liaodong after the Yuan collapse. A descendant of Muqali and a myriarch at Taiping, he was captured in 1355, refused to defect to Zhu Yuanzhang and was freed.

As grand commandant he gathered Mongol forces in the northeast, holding Jinshan with some two hundred thousand men and raiding the Ming frontier, his influence extending over much of Rehe and Liaoning.

In 1387 a two-hundred-thousand-strong Ming army under Feng Sheng and Fu Youde advanced, and he surrendered. Made Marquis of Haixi, he died at Wuchang in 1388 on the Yunnan campaign, reportedly from overdrinking.
