He and Jiang Quan were from the same hometown. They were from the peasant army and later recruited An as a general in the Ming Dynasty. When Jiang Quan was planning to raise an army, he had secretly communicated with him. And the Ming Dynasty had also contacted Wang Yongqiang for a long time with the intention of instigating rebellion.
Wang Yongqiang had already planned to respond when He Zhen and others entered Guanzhong to attack Xi'an, but he was not ready yet. As a result, Wu Sangui and others came over, and Wang Yongqiang had no choice but to stand still.
Later, He Zhen and others were quickly defeated, and Wang Yongqiang had no choice but to wait for the opportunity.
Jiang Quan raised troops in Datong. Wang Zhengzhi, the governor of Yansui, and Shen Wenhua, the commander-in-chief of Yansui, urgently mobilized troops from all over northern Shaanxi. Wang Yongqiang received the order and led troops to Shenmu, Fugu and other places to defend the river.
What the Tatars didn't know was that there was a master who had been staying in Wang Yongqiang's camp for several months. He was actually from the south of the Yangtze River. Like Dong Zhining, he was one of the six crazy students who participated in the Ningbo Uprising. Now he is also serving as a soldier.
To Wang Jiaqin, who is also the censor of Shaanxi Province and supervises the army.
After receiving the order, Wang Yongqiang sent troops. Wang Zhengzhi and others thought he was here to obey the order. However, Wang Yongqiang led his troops to Yulin, launched a mutiny at night, occupied Yulin City, and killed the governor Wang Zhengzhi, the commander-in-chief Shen Wenhua and the Jingyuan soldiers.
Dao Xia Shifang.
After capturing Yulin, Wang Yongqiang invited Wang Jiaqin from his family to read out the edict of Emperor Shaotian.
Wang Yongqiang was awarded the title of Admiral of Shaanxi Province, with the seal of recruiting general, and was given the title of Marquis of Yan'an.
After taking the oath in Yulin, Wang Yongqiang immediately led his troops south, and together with his brother Wang Yongzhen who stayed in Yan'an, controlled Yan'an, killed the prefect Song Congxin, and then swept through northern Shaanxi.
Gao Youcai of Shenmu County led the crowd to respond.
Before Wang Jiaqin came to northern Shaanxi according to the order, he had collected information about Wang Yongqiang, carefully studied this person, and finally concluded that this person could be coaxed into rebellion.
Wang Yongqiang is from Wubao County, Shanxi. His father died when he was young. He, his younger brother Yongzhen, and his mother depended on each other. A widow raised two children. You can imagine the bitterness of this. Because he had no father since he was a child, he was often bullied by the children.
Wang Yongqiang and his younger brother have often fought with others since they were young. He will never give in to anyone who bullies their orphans and widowed mothers, even if they can't beat them.
Later, a distant relative of Wang Yongqiang saw that these two children were fighting with others every day and were often beaten with bruises and bruises, so he kindly took them to his private acquaintance to study.
But the two of them were so wild that they barely studied for two years and couldn't get into it anymore.
It happened to be a year of disaster, and a relative whose family was still in good condition was robbed by thieves. The family's financial situation declined and the private school could not continue, so the brothers returned to their hometown.
Soon, the famine became more and more serious, bandits were everywhere, and Wubao County was also affected. The border residents in northern Shaanxi rebelled due to hunger and attacked Wubao County. The two brothers, who were in their teens, called more than 20 poor people
My brother also joined the Peasant Army.
Although Wang Yongqiang was young, he was able to fight bravely, could read a little, and was smart, so he was highly appreciated by the leader. Soon, he was asked to lead a team of several hundred people.
In the fifth year of Chongzhen, his leader was defeated by the army and surrendered. The leader then wrote a letter to recruit brother Wang Yongqiang to surrender. Upon seeing this, he finally accepted the recruitment and became a member of the Ming army.
By the ninth year of Chongzhen, Wang Yongqiang had been promoted to a staff general in Ningxia of the Ming Dynasty, and he campaigned for the imperial court in Shanxi and Shaanxi to conquer the peasant army.
This year, his mother was killed by fellow villager Wang Zhengzhi in her hometown.
Wang Zhengzhi was from his hometown in Wubao, and he was one of the twenty or so brothers who joined him in the Peasant Army. However, they later became enemies over the struggle for merit. After Wang Yongqiang was recruited, Wang Zhengzhi remained in the Peasant Army.
This time he went back to Wubao and killed Wang Yongqiang's mother. The angry Wang Yongqiang led his troops back to his hometown. Wang Zhengzhi had already run away, so he had to dig up Wang Zhengzhi's ancestral grave.
In the fifteenth year of Chongzhen's reign, Wang Yongqiang was appointed as the general of Yan'an and defended Yan'an City with his brother Yongzhen. Li Zicheng established Dashun in Xi'an and sent troops to attack. Wang Yongqiang took the initiative to join Li Zicheng's nephew Li Guo and was still appointed as the general of Yan'an.
Soon after, Li Zicheng defeated Shanhaiguan and went south. Li Guo waited at the rear in northern Shaanxi. Finally, he fought in Ningxia and Gansu and withdrew to Hanzhong, passing through Sichuan and entering Jingxiang. However, Wang Yongqiang did not leave and surrendered in Yan'an City. He was still appointed as the Qing Yan'an general.
The enemy Wang Zhengzhi also surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and was later appointed as the governor of Yansui, stationed in Yulin, and became the brothers' immediate boss. The two were originally mortal enemies, but now they were plotting how to kill each other.
When Jiang Quan rebelled, Wang Zhengzhi immediately mobilized his brother Wang Yongzhen to send troops, just to kill someone with a borrowed knife. But he didn't know that Wang Yongqiang had been secretly aware of the situation and had been in secret contact with Jiang Quan.
The brothers have a servant camp of 3,000 people under their command, and they are completely obedient to their orders.
Wang Yongqiang asked his brother Yongzhen to stay behind, and he led his troops to Yulin. Then there was a dark night mutiny, and Wang Zhengzhi was killed with a knife and took Yulin.
With three thousand servants as the core, the brothers quickly swept through northern Shaanxi and conquered nineteen states and counties. They killed the governor and the general soldiers, prepared troops in Jingyuan, Song Congxin, the prefect of Yan'an, and captured Xishun, the king of Taotai, and Li Fangzheng, the magistrate of Pizhou.
Yulin Taoist Sun Shishou and Luochuan Magistrate Zuo Shedou surrendered one after another.
Wang Yongqiang held the seal of appeasement as a general, opened a government office, and took charge of the military on his own, while the civil administration, taxes, money, and food were all faked by Wang Jiaqin, the supervisor of the army.
One of them attacked the city, and the other pacified the people.
Storehouses were opened to provide relief to the victims, prisons were opened and prisoners were released, officials from various levels of government agencies in northern Shaanxi were re-appointed, and order was restored.
Wang Yongqiang united various forces to respond to the rebel army and went north to attack Huamachi in Ningxia. People from all over the border also responded one after another, and then went south to Guanzhong and went to Pucheng.
General Liu Daying led thousands of troops to break through Jinsuoguan and occupy Tongguancheng. As far as Yaozhou, the rebellion of Wang Yongqiang's brother shocked the whole Shaanxi.
The rebel armies of Qin and Jin provinces united into one.
For the Tatars at this time, this was an almost fatal stab in the back.
Meng Qiaofang, the trilateral governor of Xi'an, was so frightened that he wrote thirty-seven emergency letters to Hauge and Wu Sangui in Hanzhong within one day, asking them to quickly bring troops back for rescue.
At this time, Wang Yongqiang's forward had already arrived in Pucheng, which was only a hundred miles away from Weinan and only two hundred miles away from Xi'an.
But for the Manchus, this was not the worst news.
The bad news is that the regent Dorgon, known as the pillar of the country, suddenly died of illness in Beijing. The princes and princes of Beijing began to secretly wrestle around the core power of the center.
A huge power struggle has begun.
Shunzhi named Dorgon the Emperor Chengzong of the Qing Dynasty, and also named Ajige the auxiliary uncle. Azig wanted to have an uncle before, but Dorgon refused. Now Shunzhi directly gave both brothers the title of uncle.
.
But at the same time, an order was issued to order Azig to return to Taiyuan to aid, and Duduo moved to the name of the town.
The reason for not allowing the two uncles to return to Beijing was that the situation on the front line was critical. Everyone knew the actual intention, which was to keep Dorgon's two northern brothers out of Beijing.
Naturally, the two of them refused and rushed back to Beijing with their own troops, regardless of the situation in Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong, Henan, etc.
In this chaotic situation.
Beijing also gave orders to Wu Sangui and Hauge in Hanzhong, ordering Hauge to return to Beijing and asking Wu Sangui to lead troops back to Shaanxi to suppress Wang Yongqiang.
Li Guohan stayed in Hanzhong.
The will is still on the way.
Another rebellion broke out in Gansu.
Gansu's returning generals Milayin, Ding Guodong and others raised troops anyway and conquered Gan, Liang and Su states. Their uprising this time was caused by the division of troops in the Shaanxi-Gansu camp not long ago.
The Shaanxi-Gansu marching camp divided its troops, and the generals He Hongqi formed a Western Expedition camp, and divided their troops to march westward to Hexi.
The Qing army did not have much strength in Longyou, and most of them were surrendered generals. After He Hongqi and others marched westward, they attacked the city and destroyed the county. The Qing Committee Gansu Governor Zhang Wenheng, Gansu Commander-in-Chief Liu Liangchen, and Liangzhou Deputy Commander-in-Chief Mao Bin
, Suzhou deputy general Pan Yunteng, Ganliang Daolin Weizao, Xining Dao Zhang Yi and others were defeated and killed one after another.
Under this wave, Milayin, Ding Guodong and others were incited to rebel, led their troops to revolt, and launched a fierce attack on the Qing army in Gansu. So two teams of troops attacked from west to east, and swept from east to west, attacking from east to west.
, cover everything you want.
The Western Expeditionary Army broke through Longxi, killed fellow magistrate Zhao Chongxue, county magistrate Zhao Zhong, Ke Lintao, Hezhou, Taozhou, Minzhou, and surrounded Lanzhou, gaining great momentum.
The Tatar rule in Gansu almost completely collapsed, and many Tatar officials were either killed or captured, or abandoned their lands and fled.
The Western Expeditionary Army defeated Lanzhou and took advantage of the victory to march to Qinghai.
The two armies met at Datong and surrounded Xining.
This Longyou Uprising is actually not so violent, but He Hongqi and others had already revolted once before, and the impact on the Qing army in Gansu was greatly weakened. Now the Qing army in Gansu still has few generals and elite soldiers, mostly raw materials.
Mingguan, Shunjiang, etc., and two groups of rebels took advantage of the fact that the Qing army was in Hanzhong and attacked Longyou.
How could those people resist? They would either be defeated, surrender or flee.
As for this rebellion, the Han, Hui, Qiang and other peoples also responded one after another. Milayin even supported a Ming Dynasty clan member, King Yanchang, to rally the army and the people.
Milayin and others raised troops to rebel against the Qing Dynasty. In the final analysis, it was because the Tatars had not yet truly established their rule in Gansu, and all they had to do was demote officials and generals.
The trigger for their rebellion this time was actually Lin Weizao, the patrolman who wanted to strictly deal with the remnants of bandits in Gansu. Lin Weizao was the nephew of Lin Rirui, the governor of Gansu in the Ming Dynasty. Lin Rirui died when the Dashun army attacked Gansu.
During the Battle of Zhoucheng, after Lin Weizao surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he served as the Gansu sub-inspector. After he came, he wanted to avenge his uncle, and he had to track down the remaining thieves and punish them severely.
Mila Yin, Ding Guodong and others were also Ming Gansu border generals and served under Lin Rirui. However, they later surrendered to Dashun and also participated in the battle to attack Ganzhou.
Mirayin was also a hereditary native official in Ganzhou. He was very prestigious among the Hui people and was originally very brave.
Originally, Milayin was like many Gansu officers and generals. When Li Zicheng came, he surrendered, and when the Qing army came, he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. Whoever becomes the emperor, I will continue to be my local official.
Lin Weizao insisted on pursuing these remnants of traitors and avenging his uncle. Of course, Milayin and others were not willing to sit back and wait for death. At this time, the Qing army was mainly in the Hanzhong area, and the Ming army had troops to march westward to Longyou. Therefore, the Ming army
As soon as the secret envoy sent by the North provoked them, they were immediately willing to raise their troops anyway.
Lin Weizao, the source of the mutiny, was also captured and executed, and he reaped the consequences!
In a short period of time, there was chaos in the three places.
The governor of Xuanda, the governor of Yansui and the governor of Gansu died, as well as three general soldiers, and countless other Taoist officials, prefects, etc., and dozens of prefectures and counties were captured.
