After the Red Turban Rebellion broke out, Tsakhan Timur organized a contingent of more than 10,000 people in his hometown of Shenqiu, formed an army of his own, and took his nephew Wang Baobao to fight in various places to suppress the Red Turban Army (1352). Chakhan Timur used his troops like gods, simply the nemesis of the Red Turban Army, he pacified Guanzhong in 1357, pacified Shanxi in 1358, pacified Henan in 1359, and sent troops to Shandong in 1361, but was assassinated and killed the following year, and Emperor Yuanshun immediately appointed Wang Baobao to command Yi father's army. Wang Baobao took Filial Piety to fight, and finally pacified Shandong to avenge his righteous father.
After Wang Baobao inherited his father's army and power, he did not continue to attack the Red Turban Army in the south, but instead joined the court struggle and warlord melee, first helping the imperial court to defeat the powerful ministers, and later accusing the imperial government of being the subject of power, becoming the object of the imperial court's crusade. At this time, the arrival of the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Ming Dynasty resolved all the contradictions within the Yuan Dynasty.

In 1367, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had already unified the south, took Xu Da and Chang Yuchun as his generals, and under the banner of "expelling Hu Yu and restoring China", he sent troops to the Northern Expedition to the Yuan Dynasty. In 1368, Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty in Nanjing, and the Northern Expeditionary Army, under the banner of the New Dynasty, was highly morale, and after conquering Henan and Shandong one after another, in July of that year, approaching Beijing, the Yuan Shun Emperor did not make any resistance, fled to Mongolia with his family, and surrendered Beijing to the Ming army.
Zhu Yuanzhang took advantage of the victory to attack Shanxi, and Wang Baobao sent troops to resist, defeating Tang he and the Ming army led by Tang at Handian. After Emperor Yuanshun received the good news, he ordered Wang Baobao to retake Beijing, and Wang Baobao immediately led the main force to attack Beijing. Xu Da and Chang Yuchun believed that Beijing was heavily defended and did not have to worry, so they took Taiyuan, the center of Shanxi, and Wang Baobao returned to the army to rescue Taiyuan, but was attacked by the Ming army that had left early and premeditated, and all his soldiers and horses were taken prisoner by the Ming army, and he fled to the north with only eighteen horsemen.
After Xu Da and Chang Yuchun defeated Wang Baobao, they pacified Shanxi and pacified Guanzhong the following year. Wang Baobao then used stability as a base to regroup soldiers and horses and constantly harass the northwestern region of the Ming Dynasty.

In 1370, Xu Da led the Ming army to attack Anding, and Wang Baobao, who was besieging Lanzhou, quickly returned to his division to rescue Anding, and Xu Da used a ruse to defeat Wang Baobao at Shen'erxia and surrendered an army of 80,000 yuan. Wang Baobao was once again completely annihilated, and fled to Mongolia with only a few people to assist the newly enthroned Emperor Yuan of the Yuan Dynasty.
Although Wang Baobao and the Ming army were repeatedly defeated, they were both able to revive with blood, and their outstanding organizational ability was evident. In 1372, Xu Da led an army on the Northern Expedition, entered Mongolia, and encountered Wang Baobao at the Pulao River, who lured the enemy deeper, ambushed the elite troops, defeated Xu Da in the desert north, killed and wounded tens of thousands of Ming troops, and was humiliated.

After Wang Baobao severely defeated the vigor of the Ming army, Zhu Yuanzhang no longer frequently used troops against Northern Yuan, and Northern Yuan was also assisted by Wang Baobao, and the national strength gradually recovered. A few years later, Wang Baoan died.
Zhu Yuanzhang greatly admired Wang Baobao, and he sent people to surrender Wang Baobao many times, but he was unsuccessful. Zhu Yuanzhang once praised Wang Baobao in public, saying: "Although I am a brilliant person in the spring of Chang Yu, I have to be subject to it." I can't be a vassal of Wang Baobao, and his strange man is also! Zhu Yuanzhang finally crowned Wang Baobao's sister as Princess Qin, became a relative of Wang Baobao, and finally fulfilled his wish.
