After being investigated by the Ministry of punishment, it took two years to find out the truth. Suffering from mental torture and persecution, Wang Xiangchun had to report his illness back to his hometown.

In the 43rd year of Wanli (1615 A.D.), his hometown was in turmoil, so he sold his land and left. First to Yimeng, Xuzhou and other places, and North back to Yanzhou. The next year, Jinan bought the former home of Li Panlong, one of the "seven sons" of Ming Dynasty, on BaiHuaZhou, on the South Bank of Daming Lake, and built a "Wenshan Pavilion" for self entertainment.

Wuqiao mutiny

In August of the fourth year of Chongzhen (1631), Zu dashou was trapped in Dalinghe city (now Jinxian County, Liaoning Province). Sun Yuanhua urgently ordered Kong Youde to go to the front with 800 horses to reinforce. Kong Youde went to Liaoning by sea and was blown back by typhoon, so he had to go by land. When Kong Youde arrived at Wuqiao, he was forced to stop because of heavy rain, snow and lack of supplies. At the same time, he was forced to stop by the people of the county. A soldier steals a chicken from Wang Xiangchun's family when he is cold and hungry. Then he is found by Wang's servants, who break into the camp and Sue Kong Youde. Fearing the influence of the Wang family, Kong Youde did not dare to cover up the soldiers and ordered that he should be sent to the "camp with arrows". The soldiers were humiliated and indignant, so they sneaked into the king's house to kill their servants. After that, Xiangchun's son refused to give up and insisted on finding out the truth and severely punishing the murderer. Kong Youde had to bring the soldiers to justice. This action immediately aroused the whole army's indignation. It happened that Li Jiucheng, the former general of Dongjiang, spent all the money that sun Yuanhua gave him, but he didn't buy the required number of horses. For fear of being punished by military law, he incited the mutiny of the three armed forces and raised the flag to revolt, which officially opened the prelude to the end of the Ming Dynasty, known as the Wuqiao mutiny in history.

The Wuqiao mutiny eventually led to the total destruction of the general reserve Dengzhou army, which resisted the Houjin. More than 100000 Dongjiang soldiers and civilians at the front line, with the artillery troops that the Ming Dynasty spent a lot of money to build, defected and invested in the Houjin. The only advantage of the Ming Dynasty disappeared.

After that, Wang Xiangchun's family was also robbed and slaughtered by Kong Youde. He was criticized by the world, and died the next year.

He wrote a hundred poems of Qiyin (also known as Jinan Baiyong), which chanted about Jinan's landscape, lake and spring. Such as Daming Lake:

Thousands of schools, thousands of waves, one gate. Mountains and hills turn to Ziyun village.

Lotus water out of the dangerous city, a little like the carving Gold Emerald basin.

It vividly describes the vast state of the Ming Lake's landscape and the beautiful scenery of the city reflecting on the bottom of the water. However, Wang Xiangchun's poems are not only about natural scenery, but also about historical sites, such as shuxiangwang temple wall

Xiangchun is famous for his poems in Wanli. His landscape poems are lively, fresh and natural, and have endless aftertaste after reading them.

In addition to Qi Yin, he has also written geography survey preparation, shanxihu collection, wenshanting collection, etc.
