Shunzhi Emperor
1638 CE–1661 CE · Beijing
The Shunzhi Emperor (1638-1661) was the first Qing emperor to rule from Beijing, reigning from 1644 to 1661 after Manchu forces occupied the former Ming capital. Enthroned as a child, he ruled at first under the regency of his uncle Dorgon, and after Dorgon's death took up personal government while the dynasty extended its control across China amid continued resistance from Ming loyalists. He died young, likely of smallpox, and was succeeded by his son the Kangxi Emperor.
