WI the first Manchu Emperor dies while he is still a child? The Mancus wouldn't be as united or might not even become a lasting dynasty.
If the Manchus don't invade when they do, would the Ming survive or would it be replaced, if so by who?
Also, in twenty years when the Russians go west, where will they stop? Could they conquer the Manchus and gain a pacific port nearly 200 years early?
