    Manchus Identity in Conquest: Cultural Superiority In the final year of the Ming dynasty, their power dwindled, and the Manchus, an ethnic group from the northeastern provinces and descendants of the Tungus came to power (Making China Modern pg.49). In the conquest evidence of their superiority complex over the Chinese can be observed in their promotion of military power, and segregation of the people of China. The Manchus, under the name of the Jurchen, had once been ruled by the Chinese, so when they saw the Ming start to lose power to political and economic corruption as well as their inability to squash uprisings in their state, the Manchus took the opportunity and overtook China with their military (Making China Modern pg.49).

When Confucian scholars talked behind his back or criticized him because his administration was built on Legalism, he decided to get rid of them and ordered the arrest and execution of over 400 scholars (Gracie).
