Expansion and Mongol Response
In 1618 Tsangpa pushed further into Ü and defeated the local leaders of Kyishod and Tsal. The following year 1619 the West Tibetan kingdom of Gungthang was conquered. The hegemony of Tsangpa was, however, only of a brief nature. After Yonten Gyatso's death, his successor as Dalai Lama Lozang Gyatso (1617–1682) received help from Mongol tribes. The Mongols pushed into Ü in 1621 and 1635, defeating the Tsangpa troops. At the same time the Tsangpa ruler Karma Tenkyong was threatened by Ladakh in the west, although it never came to open warfare.
