What if the Yongchang Emperor had been unsuccessful in establishing Great Shun? At many points his Herculean efforts that were required to fend off all the rebellion's foes could have failed. One PoD that I've tossed around is a failure of the Khalka Mongols to side with Shun. They were vital in routing Wu Sangui and the Manchu at Shanhai Pass and could easily have been convinced to join Later Jin.
What other potential events could have resulted in Great Ming surviving and what would be the consequences? Could the ailing Ming have successfully dealt with the Manchu as Shun Taizu did?
