Ming–Turpan conflict
The Ming–Turpan conflict (Chinese: 哈密之爭) were a series of conflicts between the Ming dynasty and Khanate of Moghulistan (later its division the Turpan Khanate) that erupted due to disputes over borders, trade and internal succession to the throne of Moghulistan (or Turpan). The Ming dynasty annexed Kara Del (Qumul, Hami) in 1404 and turned it into Hami Prefecture.
