Your challenge, should you accept it, is with a post-100 years war PoD to make either a Swabian(including Switzerlanders), Rhinelander, Catalonian, Piedmontese, Lowlander, Burgundian or maybe even a Basque dynasty to seize the French crown in the way that at least fairly liberally resembles the Manchu take over of China. The resulted French Empire must include the homeland of the said dynsaty's ancestral homeland. Thus the relation between the people of reigning dynasty's ancestral homeland and the rest of the empire, especially the native French, must at least nominally resembles Manchu-Han relationship during Qing China period, especially culturally!
