Jin Shengheng, whose name is Huchen, was a native of Liaodong (now Liaoyang, Liaoning), and was originally a hereditary military household.

The Qing people captured Liaodong, Jin Shenghuan's family was captured, and later he escaped and entered the customs alone, becoming the general of the Ming Dynasty Huanglong, and then joined the Zuo Liangyu army, and was promoted to the chief military officer by the governor and the governor.

When Nanming Hongguang ascended the throne, Zuo Liangyu went down the east of the river to denounce Ma Shiying. On the way, Zuo Liangyu died of illness, and Jin Shenghuan followed his son Zuo Mengeng to surrender.

When the Manchus attacked the south, Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren led their troops to conquer Ji'an and Ganzhou, forced Yang Tinglin to kill, and occupied Jiangxi.

With this merit, Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren thought that they would occupy Jiangxi without spending a single soldier in Manchuria and would be able to win a special reward from the Qing court.

Unexpectedly, after pacifying most of Jiangxi, the Qing court only appointed Jin Shenghuan as the commander-in-chief of the army guarding Jiangxi, and Wang Deren was relegated to the rank of deputy general. and stipulates that "if the suppression of the machine is of great importance, the town shall consult with the Fu and the Fu according to the same heart, and listen to the judgment of the Inner Court and the Governor of the Inner Court."

After the order was issued, Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren were disappointed and dissatisfied with the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

When collecting Jiangxi counties, Jin Shengheng and Wang Deren extorted a large number of gold and silver treasures by force and became nouveau riche.

The newly appointed governor of the Qing court, Dong Xuecheng, and the governor of Jiangxi, Zhang Yutian, were blushing.

Dong Xuecheng even relied on himself to be a patrol press, coercing Jin Shengheng and them to offer money, otherwise they would report their affairs to the emperor.

Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren were finally forced to hand over some of the gold and silver treasures, but their dissatisfaction with Zhang Yutian and Dong Xuecheng grew day by day.

Wang Deren was so angry that he raised his sword to kill him when Dong Xuecheng insulted him.

Jin Shengheng heard the news from his subordinates that Wang Deren came to the door with a sword, and hurriedly brought a few personal soldiers to see him.

As soon as he saw Jin Shengheng, Wang Deren stared at Jin Shengheng with a blood-dripping sword, and said, "My lord, I have already killed Dong Xuecheng, the inspector. ”

Jin Shengheng was startled when he heard it, and said, "What, what did you say?" You've killed the Patrol! ”

"Yes! I killed the Patrolman. Wang Deren said expressionlessly.

"Zixing, how can you kill him, kill the emperor for no reason, you want to kill your head!"

"Emperor, hum! The emperor is nothing but a group of barbarians. , what are Dong Xuecheng and Zhang Yutian, they are just rats who surrendered in Kaesong, and they were appointed by the Manchu Qing Dynasty as governors and governors of Jiangxi. As for us, we fought to the death and occupied the whole of Jiangxi. With such great achievements, in the end, you are just a general, and I am just a lieutenant general. and be insulted by the moderation of those civil officials. Adult, it's better to be the other way around than to suffer from such a wretch! ”

Jin Shengheng was shocked when he heard it, "It's the opposite!" Do you want to be anti-clear? ”

"Yes, Lao Tzu is anti-Qing. Tartar is so mean, why are we working for him! ”

Jin Shengheng said in a trembling manner: "Zamao, now the Manchu Qing Dynasty has almost occupied Huaxia, this, this ......"

"My lord, the Manchu Tartars only value them Manchus and despise us Han Chinese. The only Han people who are willing to take heavy responsibility are those who took refuge in them during the Liaodong period, and those of us who have joined after entering the customs have no reward no matter how much merit they have made, and there is no hope of promotion, and they will be suspicious of the Qing court and suppressed by civil officials, and they will be blamed at every turn if they make mistakes. Haven't you forgotten the matter of Xiangyang Wang Guangen? ”

Hearing Wang Deren say Xiangyang Wang Guangen, Jin Shengheng was silent.

The three brothers Wang Guangen, Wang Guangtai, and Wang Chang all participated in the peasant uprising in the late Ming Dynasty.

In the later period of Chongzhen, Wang Guangen accepted the Ming Dynasty's appeasement, and his department was reorganized into an official army and held Yunyang. Li Zicheng's rebel army attacked the city several times in 1643 and 1644, but failed to conquer it.

In 1645, when the Qing army pursued the Dashun army to Yunyang, he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty with Xu Qiyuan, the Yunyang Fuyuan appointed by the Ming Dynasty, and was appointed as the commander-in-chief of Xiangyang.

In April 1647, Wang Guangen was falsely arrested and sent to Beijing because of a conflict with Pan Shiliang, a newly appointed Yunyang Fuyuan of the Qing Dynasty.

The Qing government transferred Yang Wenfu, the chief soldier, to act as the chief soldier, and Qi Shangyou to serve as the deputy general of the right battalion, in an attempt to reorganize this army.

Wang Guangen's younger brothers, Wang Guangtai and Wang Chang, knew that the comers were not good, so on April 29, they led their subordinates to oppose the Qing Dynasty with 7,000 or 8,000 people, killing Yang Wenfu, Qi Shangyou, Gan Wenkui of Jingnan Province, Yang Kuang, the prefect of Xiangyang, Li Shifa, the magistrate, and Pan Chaoyou, the prefect of Xiangyang.

The news reached Wuchang, and on May 11, Sun Dingliao, the governor of Huguang appointed by the Qing Dynasty, personally led 567 horsemen and 3,333 infantry from Wuchang to Yunyang to attack.

On 11 June, 1,500 officers and men of Sun Dingliao's vanguard marched to Anyangkou, 40 miles from Yunyang.

Here is faced with water on three sides, and one side blocks the mountain, Wang Chang took advantage of the fact that his camp was undecided, and immediately launched an attack; Sun Dingliao was caught off guard, fled in defeat, and when he ran to the river bay, he fell under his horse and was killed by the rebels; The deputy general Li Xiangong was captured alive and taken into Yunyang City, and the sub-payment appointed as the chief soldier of Yunxiang was found from him, and he was also dragged out and beheaded; Most of the soldiers, with the exception of a few who escaped, were annihilated.

The news of the defeat reached Beijing, and on July 18, the Qing court ordered the Manchu and Han armies led by the servants of the Ministry of Officials, Kakhamu, and others to Yunyang to suppress them.

The Wang Guangtai brothers, knowing that their forces were outnumbered, withdrew from Yunyang within September.

Since then, the Wang Guangtai brothers have been active in the Kuidong area, and have joined forces with Li Laiheng, Liu Tichun, Yuan Zongdi, Hao Shaoqi, He Zhen and other troops of the remaining troops of the Dashun Army, becoming one of the famous "Thirteen Families of Kuidong".

Seeing Jin Shengheng's appearance, Wang Deren knew that there was a play, and hurriedly agitated: "My lord, don't look at the Manchu Qing Dynasty to occupy most of China, it seems that you are going to sit firmly in this country." In fact, it's just a show. Except for a few important towns in Huaxia that were guarded by Manchus, the rest were entrusted to us vassals. Moreover, it has been almost four years since we took refuge in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and we can see clearly what kind of virtue the Manchu Qing is now. The strength of the Tartars is not as powerful as the rumors blow, saying that the Tartars are less than 10,000 and invincible. It's bluffing! As long as the general is willing to stand up and raise his arms and shout, there will inevitably be many soldiers who are dissatisfied with the meanness of the Tartars and raise troops to echo. ”

Hearing the last sentence, Jin Shengheng said ruthlessly: "Okay, since the Manchu Qing is mean and unkind, we will oppose the fuck!" Say, how do we do that? “

Wang Deren thought for a while and said: "General, we must first achieve great righteousness, but we can recruit the righteous army from all sides under the banner of Longwu to oppose the Qing Dynasty together." At the same time, the Great Western Army of Yunnan and Guizhou and the Zheng Army of Fujian resisted the Qing army together. ”

"Fujian's Zheng Jiajun? Didn't that Zheng Zhilong take refuge in the Manchu Qing Dynasty? ”

"General, Zheng Zhilong took refuge in the Manchus, but his eldest son and several brothers refused to defect to the Manchus, and they rose up against the Qing Dynasty one after another."

"And what about their strength?"

"Although it is not as strong as in its heyday, it adds up to nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses!"

"Okay, then send someone to contact them. More people can share our pressure! ”

"General, do you want to send someone to contact Li Chengdong in Guangdong!"

Li Chengdong! Hearing this name, Jin Shengheng was in a trance.

Back then, they were all partial generals under King Chuang. It's just that after Gao Jie seduced the wife of King Li Zicheng, Xing, he defected to the Ming Dynasty and became a general soldier.

Li Chengdong followed Gao Jie to the Ming Dynasty, and later after the Manchu Qing captured Jiangsu and Zhejiang, he followed him to the Qing Dynasty.

Jin Shengheng asked, "Will he follow us to join the Manchus?" ”

"General, we are not the only ones who are suppressed by the Manchus. I heard that the Manchu Qing Dynasty had promised to make him the governor of Liangguang, but I didn't expect that in the end, the Tartars repented and made Tong Yangjia the governor of Liangguang. He must have been dissatisfied with the meanness and lack of kindness of the Manchus. We sent people to persuade and encourage him, and we may not have the opportunity to let him rise up against the Qing Dynasty together! “

Jin Shengheng thought for a while and said, "Okay! However, such a major event, it is absolutely impossible to leak the news in advance, so that the Manchu Qing can be prepared. We will prepare first, and then send a clever man to persuade him after the army is raised. ”

"Hmmm! Or the general is thoughtful! Do you want to send someone from Fujian? “

"Since Fujian has already raised troops against the Qing Dynasty, it doesn't hurt to tell them. Send someone to contact the Zheng family, so that they can cooperate with the anti-Qing Dynasty! “

"Yes, General!"

Jin Shengheng and the others were determined to return to the Ming Dynasty anyway, so they naturally wanted to control the soldiers and horses in Jiangxi. Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren preemptively arrested and killed a small number of officials who were unwilling to follow the anti-Qing Dynasty, and then announced the restoration of the anti-Qing Dynasty.

Jin Shenghuan called himself the Duke of Yuguo, and Wang Deren called himself the Marquis of Jianwu. The curtain guest dressed up as a monk, carried a Buddhist scripture hidden in the Yongli court, and went to Guangxi to report the situation anyway.

At the same time, several waves of messengers were sent to Fujian, Guangdong and other places to contact the anti-Qing righteous divisions to resist the Qing Dynasty together.
