Wang Ziyong (?~1633), a native of Dezhou, Ming Sui, known as Monk Wang, alias Zijinliang. In November of the first year of Chongzhen (1628), he and the Chaotian King (whose name is unknown) rebelled in Yanchuan, and successively conquered Yanchuan, Mizhi and Qingjian.

In the spring of the second year, he went straight to Gandong, conquered Pingliang, and cooperated with the prince Shunyi's army to besiege Hancheng. In the spring of the third year, the Ming court dispatched a large number of troops to suppress the rebels. Wang Ziyong took a strategic shift into Shanxi, and coincided with the righteous army led by Wang Zishun, attacking the prefecture and occupying the county, killing officials and helping the poor. In the summer of the same year, Wang Ziyong joined Wang Jiayin's department, which was the strongest in the rebel army, and became the chief general of one of Wang's subordinates. In November, Wang Jiayin was proclaimed king in Hequ, and the king was named the prime minister of the left for his own use. Four years later, after Wang Jiayin's sacrifice, the rebels from all walks of life jointly elected Wang Ziyong as the leader of the alliance. He organized the righteous army in Jin at that time into 36 battalions, with a total of more than 200,000 soldiers and more than 200 generals. In July, Wang Ziyong and others led the righteous army to conquer Changzi, Qinshui, Douzhuang, Zezhou, and Puzhou one after another. At the end of September, the rebels captured the county seat of central Shaanxi (now Huangling), and the Ming army failed to break through the city after two months of siege. By the end of the year, the rebel army conquered Ning, Shilou, Jishan, Wenxi, Hejin and other places in Shanxi, and occupied a large area of land in southern Jinnan. In September of the fifth year, Wang Ziyong and others led 200,000 people, all over Wu'an, Zhixian, Huixian and other places, and occupied Xiuwu County, opened the library and released the prison, destroyed the documents and archives, and killed Liu Fengxiang and others in Zhixian County. At the end of November, he commanded the 36th battalion of the righteous army to divide the troops into four ways to attack Jiaocheng, enter Huozhou, occupy Shouyang, and break Liaozhou (now Zuoquan), and the rule of the Ming Dynasty in Shanxi was basically destroyed.

The successive victories of the rebel army greatly shocked the Ming court. Therefore, on the one hand, the troops were mobilized to encircle, and on the other hand, the method of division and disintegration was adopted to weaken the strength of the rebel army from within. After they instigated the traitor Han Tingxian of the righteous army to murder Wang Ziyong without succeeding, they also provoked the relationship between Wang Ziyong and the general of the righteous army, King Chaoshi, so that the righteous army was divided into seven major divisions for a time. In the first month of the sixth year, the 36th Battalion Righteous Army entered northern Henan by three routes, crossed the Taixing into southern Jinan, occupied Shahe, Handan and Shunde and other places, and had the tendency to approach Kyoto. Emperor Ming was very angry and panicked, and hurriedly transferred Zuo Liangyu to suppress the rebels. The righteous army was ready to fight with all their might, destroying more than 7,000 enemies, and Zuo Liangyu was defeated. The Ming court also transferred Deng Xi, the general soldier of Sichuan, and Sima Fengyi, the stone pillar Tu, as the deputy chief soldier, led the troops to come to reinforcements. The rebels were attacked on their backs and returned to the old camp of Wu'an. Deng Xi and Ma Fengyi's army chased after them closely and surrounded the righteous army. The rebels from all walks of life rushed to kill, cut Ma Fengyi, and broke through. Wang Zi used left and right to kill, and he was unstoppable. At this moment, Deng Bing suddenly cast a dark arrow, and Wang himself used his throat, arm, and body to hit 5 arrows in a row, but he still struggled to kill. Due to the disparity in numbers, the rebels could not support it, so they moved into the deep mountains of Wu'an and Lin counties. Soon after, the leader of the rebel army died of his wounds in mid-May of the sixth year of Chongzhen (1633).
