Sheldon,

I found this little piece of information on the web at www.gotheborg.com/chronology/qing.shtml.

"The Manchus to the north had long been growing in power. Taking advantage of the turmoil in China, they launched an invasion that initially was held back by the Great Wall. Eventually, they were allowed to pass by a Ming general, who saw an alliance with the Manchus as his only hope for defeating the peasant rebels threatening Beijing. The Manchus quickly defeated the peasant forces. In June 1644, they marched into the Ming capital and made it their own."
