Shunzhi Emperor of China

Shunzhi was the first "offical" Qing emperor of China. He reigned from 1644 to 1661. In 1644, Manchu people finally seized the control of the whole China and Shunzhi made the declaration that Qin Dynasty had became the true successor of Ming Dynasty under Mandate of Heaven. Therefore although he was not the founder of Qing Dynasty, he was referred to as the first emperor of Qin Dynasty of China.
