Earlier Qing overthrow TL idea

This is my first time here in AH forum, putting up my first thread. I've been working on my alternate history of Imperial China for some time. For now, I just want to test the waters to get the hang of it.

Anyway, which years or so did the Qing Dynasty will be overthrown and replaced with the new Dynasty who're maybe better or worse, realistically?
 
The Taiping Rebellion almost did. I could see the White Lotus (a cross between Manichaeism and Buhddism) and it's constituent splinter groups (eg: Tian Li Jiao, which made their way into Beijing at one point) succeed as well if Qianlong was a worse ruler in the later part of his reign than OTL.
 
True. If it wasn't for Hong Xiuquan's and his followers' Fundamentalist extremism which put at odds with the traditional Chinese beliefs, the Taiping prolly became the new Dynasty, supplementing the Qing.

However, I do have an idea of Qing overthrow but this one is much earlier than the Qianlong Era. To put things shortly, a Qing Civil War between Yongzheng and his rival brothers for the Dragon Throne upon Kangxi's death. A la carte Romance of the Three Kingdoms-style period. One group, be it Han or Non-Han (of Sinicized variety) rose up and eventually unite China as the new Dynasty.
