三藩之乱
After the Revolt of the Three Feudatories had calmed down, the court of Qing was able to concentrate manpower to compile the "History of Ming" formally. Thirty-five years passed since the court of Qing officially announced the compilation of the "History of Ming". In the 17th year of Kangxi Emperor, Qing started drafting learned scholars from all of the country, and stage 2 of compiling got into its stride. In the 4th year of Qianlong Emperor (1739), the "History of Ming" was completed compiling of all it sections. It was the third time that the court of Qing organized staff to modify the manuscript of the "History of Ming", and finalized its compiling.
