Warfare eventually broke out among the mongol leaders, weakening the Yuan Dynasty significantly. The dynasty that took over was called the Ming. Because of his great military success, Ming founder Zhu Yuanzhang was called the hongwu emperor meaning "vast military power." in his battles, he won from the mongols the Yunnan province. With this piece of land in his charge, he unified the reion that is china today. Whe the hongwu emperor died, one of his grandsons took power, naming himself the Yongle empersor-meaning "eternal contentment." H e is famous for rebuilding the Yuan capital, which he renamed Beijing He ordered a huge palace complex to be constructed in the capital. This was called the forbidden city because only th emperor, his family an dsome of his officials could enter it. The ming dynasty came to an end in 1644 at th ehands of invaders from northeastern china called the manchu. These attackers established china's last dynasty, the Qing, which ruled china until 1911.
