The history chronology continues.  The thirteen year old Toghon Temur is enthroned (in 1333) as Emperor Huizong of the Chinese Yuan Dynasty.  His reign the last and the longest of any of the Yuan emperors.  The Mongols faced many pressures in China.   His reign is noted for the local fiefdoms asserting themselves throughout China.  While the emperor had capable advisors, the fiscal and political pressures in China were overwhelming.  The Red Turban movements grew and would become a deciding factor in the continuation of the dynasty.
