	Shunzhi Emperor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Shunzhi Emperor (March 15, 1638–February 5, 1661?) was the second emperor of the Manchu Qing dynasty, and the first Qing emperor to rule over China proper from 1644 to 1661.
		In the midst of much upheaval, the Manchus seized control of Beijing in June 1644, and in October of the same year the Shunzhi emperor's uncle, the chief regent Prince, proclaimed the Qing dynasty to be the legitimate successor to the Ming Dynasty.
		The young emperor disliked his uncle, the chief regent Prince Dorgon, and after Dorgon's death in 1650 the emperor stripped both him and Dorgon's brother, Dodo, of their titles, although he was only 12 years old at the time.

		Specifically, is it correct to say that Yongzheng Emperor was the 3rd Qing Empeor, Qianlong the 4th Qing emperor and Puyi the 10th, or last Qing Emperor.
