By the middle of the 14th century Chagatai ulus
disintegrated. In the eastern part of this ulus
Moghulistan was created. At the same time, in the
West part of Chagatai ulus the Timurid Empire was
formed. Emir Puladči from the Dulat tribe ruled in
Mogulistan.

Almalyk was the capital Mogulistan. Puladči had no
right to be a ruler, and that is why in 1348 he elected
a descendant of Chagatai Tughlugh Timur as the
ruler. But in fact, all power was concentrated in the
hands of the Puladči. His goal was to make
Moghulistan independent from Transoxiana.
