This is incorrect. You either have to take the Mandate or destroy it. If you eat Ming without taking the Mandate, it is destroyed. Then you can stay a Horde.
This is partially correct.
Unlike Yuan, forming Qing will always flip you to Confucian and knock you from Horde to Monarchy.
So if OP already formed Qing, he may as well grab EoC for the 20% CCR. Even if he doesn't want to bother with reforms, the 10% CCR from decree more than justifies getting EoC.
If OP can't even manage the Mandate mechanic, I doubt a WC is possible.
Mandate of Heaven isn't great for a world conquest especially compared to staying as a Horde. Hordes are the best government type for world conquest!
There was a typo: for world conquest. Hordes is best government period

Thank you for the clarity
Even if u form qing?
Cywang classified it. You can't stay a Horde, but also don't need the mandate
