The general of the Qing army who led his troops to besiege the mountain was Wu Jinzhong, the chief military officer of the right wing of the Pingnan Domain, who Zhou Shixiang wanted to peel alive with his own hands.

Wang Guangtai, his elder brother Wang Guangen, and younger brother Wang Chang participated in Li Zicheng's peasant army in their early years. In the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, Wang Guangen and his two younger brothers accepted the recruitment of Xu Qiyuan, the governor of Xunyang in the Ming Dynasty, and the peasant army was reorganized into an official army to hold Yunyang, and successively repelled several attacks by the Dashun army, which stabilized the situation in the Yunyang area for the Ming Dynasty.

In the first year of Hongguang, when the Qing army's Azig division went south to pursue the Dashun army to Yunyang, Wang Guangen and Xu Qiyuan, the governor of Yunyang of the Ming Dynasty, surrendered Azig together. After the surrender of the Qing Dynasty, Wang Guangen was appointed as the chief soldier of Xiangyang, and Wu Jinzhong, who was under Wang Guangtai at the time, was just a small commander.

In the third year of Shunzhi, Wang Guangen had a conflict with Pan Shiliang, the governor of Yunyang appointed by the Qing court, and was framed and arrested by Pan Shiliang and sent to Beijing. Seeing that the situation was not good, the two brothers Wang Guangtai and Wang Chang took the lead to lead 8,000 soldiers and horses to oppose the Qing Dynasty, killing Yang Wenfu, the acting chief military officer, Gan Wenkui of Jingnan Province, Yang Kuang, the prefect of Xiangyang, Li Shifa, the magistrate, and Pan Chaoyou, the magistrate of Xiangyang, and other Xiangyang officials appointed by the Qing court. After the anti-Qing Dynasty, Wang Guangtai sent Wu Jinzhong to Hunan to report to the supervisor He Tengjiao.

After the Yongli court heard that the two Wang brothers were in Yunyang anyway, they raised the dynasty and jubilated, and the Yongli Emperor immediately appointed Wang Guangtai as the general of Zhenwu and the uncle of Zhenwu; Wang Chang was the general soldier of Yunxiang, and his subordinate Li Shiying was the general soldier of Henan, and Wu Jinzhong, who went to Hunan as an envoy to contact the superintendent He Tengjiao, also got He Tengjiao's blue eyes, and personally invited him to the post of deputy general of the right battalion.

After the Qing court learned that the two brothers, Wang Guangtai and Wang Chang, had defected to the Ming Dynasty, they immediately released Wang Guangen in an attempt to save the situation in Yunyang. After learning that Wang Guangtai and Wang Chang had accepted the appointment of the Southern Ming Dynasty to execute Wang Guangen in the rear, they immediately dispatched 5,600 horse infantry from Wuchang to Yunyang from Wuchang to quell the rebellion. When Sun Bu entered Anyangkou, forty miles away from Yunyang, he was attacked and killed by Wang Chang's ambush troops, and Sun Dingliao was caught off guard. Defeated and fled, he fell under his horse and drowned when he crossed to the river bay due to the depth of the water.

The news of Sun Dingliao's defeat reached Beijing. Dolgon, the regent of the Qing court, immediately ordered the servant of the Ministry of Servants Ka Kamu to lead the Man, and the Han army of 3,000 people to go south to suppress the two kings, and ordered Zhang Yingxiang, the general soldier of Henan, and Gao Di, the general soldier of Kaigui, to join forces to suppress them. Knowing that the Qing court sent Manchurian soldiers to come, and Zhang Yingxiang, the general soldier of Henan, and Gao Dibu of the general army of Kaigui came together, Wang Guangtai knew that his own troops could not fight the enemy, so he withdrew from Yunyang City, and before leaving, Wu Jinzhong, who was ordered to be the assistant general of the right battalion, led people to burn Yunyang City.

Li Shiying, the chief military officer under Wang Guangtai, as the vanguard of the two kings, led his troops to Shaanxi to meet the local anti-Qing forces, but was unfortunately defeated by the Qing army. After being unable to go to Shaanxi, Wang Guangtai and Wang Chang discussed and led the remaining more than 4,000 people to retreat to the Kuidong area, and fought jointly with the rest of the Dashun Army, such as Li Laiheng, Liu Tichun, Yuan Zongdi, Hao Shaoqi, He Zhen and other troops, and became one of the "Thirteen Families of Kuidong" later.

On the way to retreat to the Kuidong area of the two Wang brothers, Wu Jinzhong suddenly led his troops to turn around and return to Yunyang, Wang Guangtai heard the news and urgently sent a messenger to Wu to stop it, but the envoy was killed by Wu Jinzhong's men before he entered the camp. After killing the envoy, Wu Jinzhong did not dare to stay for a moment, and went straight to Yunyang in the starry night to surrender to the Qing army. Wu Jinzhong, who was in Longqing again, received the letter of Kakhamu, but not only did not take away his parts. He was even appointed as the deputy general of Yunxiang.

In the sixth year of Shunzhi, because Wang Deren, Jin Shengheng, Li Chengdong and others in the south raised their banners against the Qing Dynasty one after another, the Qing army lost several provincial territories. The troops everywhere were also tight, and the Qing court summoned Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming, the two kings of Liaodong, to lead the old department of Jiakou into the south. When the second king traveled to Hubei, because Wu Jinzhong was tall, bearded, and had the style of an ancient general, he was still happy to see it, and he knew that his troops were originally peasant troops, and their combat power was stronger than the green battalion soldiers adapted from the original Ming Dynasty army, so he intended to summon him to listen to the tune.

However, the soldiers of Shang Fan went south, and the Qing court had already customized. They are not allowed to recruit privately, especially the generals of the Green Battalion. It is not allowed to hide the generals privately, so Shang Kexi really took a lot of effort to bring the Wu Department under his command. At the beginning. As long as Wu Jin was loyal to the orders of the domain, he was never included in the banner.

Since then, the two feudal clans of Ping and Jing have been in Guangdong, and hundreds of large and small battles have been carried out, and Wu Jinzhong's troops have been the vanguard in every battle, and they have won a lot of people. When attacking Guangzhou, Wu Jinzhong invited his eighteen warriors to be the vanguard of entering the city, and deceived the gate of Guangzhou at night, making great contributions to the Qing army's attack on the city. With this merit, Wu Jinyi's status under the command of Shang Fan continued to rise, although he did not enter the banner of the Blue Han Army, he could command the banner soldiers to fight, and the rank was also promoted to the chief officer of the right wing. In addition to the banner soldiers directly under the Erwang Domain, the governor and the pacesetter of the governor's mansion, Wu Jinzhong, the nominal right-wing commander of the rest of the soldiers and horses, can command.

Li Dingguo attacked Xinhui twice, and the two feudal clans of Ping and Jing successively sent troops into the city to defend, and the Jing domain was headed by the Ping Domain, and the soldiers and horses of the Ping Domain were headed by Yunlong, the general of the Han army, and Wu Jinzhong, the chief officer of the right wing. Wu Jinzhong knew that his identity was not as good as that of You Yunlong, the general of the Han army, so he asked You Yunlong for instructions regardless of the size of the city defense affairs.

However, in the actual process of defending the city, Wu Jinzhong played a vital role, because he was a peasant army, he knew the siege methods of Li Dingguo's army, who was also from the peasant army, and resolved the crisis of Xinhui City several times with experience, and led the dead soldiers out of the city several times to repel Li Dingguo's soldiers and horses, and successfully held Xinhui City with Yunlong.

After Yunlong was killed by Zhou Shixiang, Wu Jinzhong took over the defense of Xinhui, and the Han military banner and green camp in the city were all promoted by him, and it is said that Shang Kexi, the king of Pingnan, had already had the heart to ask the Qing court to play Wu Jinzhong as the governor of Guangdong, if this appointment could be approved by the Qing court, Wu Jinzhong would be able to become the governor of Guangdong that Li Chengdong dreamed of becoming.

With the rise of his official position, Wu Jinzhong's hands were also stained with the blood of his compatriots, and he not only acted as the vanguard of the Qing army's entry into Guangdong, but also worked hard in several massacres caused by the Qing army in Guangdong. During the Xinhui garrison, it was Wu Jinzhong's troops who were the first to hunt people for food, and it was also the battalion soldiers of Wu Jinzhong's subordinates who rushed into Zhou Shixiang's house that day to capture his parents, wife and children.

As the main general, Yunlong deserves to die, and Wu Jinzhong, the direct murderer of the tragic death of his parents, wife and children, deserves to die, from the moment he thought of Wu Jinzhong, Zhou Shixiang categorically swore that this person would not die well, in order to comfort the souls of his parents, wives and children in the sky.
