Nah,qing conquered mongolia totally without the resource of ming dynasty,and the war between zhungar and qing was mainly fought by manchus and mongols too,that lead to the conquest of tibet and xinjiang.the 雅克萨 war did hurt russians more than qing dynasty.Very few qing soldiers were killed in that war,much less than russia.
Those Russian peasants were several thousands kilometers from their European heartland, do you truly think they can be numerous compared to the Qing army?
The Yuan dynasty is truly a military powerhouse, its vassal state Golden Horde beat the cr@p out of Russia and many other European states, but the Qing dynasty is just average in military even in the early era, the only reason that she lasted longer than the Mongol Yuan is because she has successfully integrated with the Chinese culture, nothing more.
The late Qing is just a huge embarassment of our history, same as KMT-ROC.
