Leader of peasant uprising in late Ming Dynasty

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the rural farmers near the city of Quanzhou organized the "doulu society" to fight against rent and tax. Wu Jin was elected as the leader of doulu society by the poor tenants. He gathered more than 500 people from his own and neighboring villages to fight against rent and tax, and openly paid the landlords. In April of the fourth year of Shunzhi (1647), Wu Jin, on the basis of the douzhou society, summoned thousands of people to join in a formal uprising. He personally killed the landowner Huang Shidou's youngest wife, smashed the house, and scattered the Huang family's property and food to the poor. After the Wujin uprising, three strongholds of Banling nunnery, Xianglu and Yuye and six small strongholds were established in Luoxi Township and Majia township as base areas to recruit soldiers, buy horses, manufacture weapons and train soldiers. Wu Jin made himself a commander in chief. He occupied Banling anda village, Wu Er Yuye village and Wu Wei Xianglu village, which were divided into three groups. They were in great harmony with each other. They often moved around, opened the warehouses of local evil gentry to relieve the poor, and took the initiative to destroy Huang Mingtai and other local armed forces. In August, Zheng Hongkui, uncle Zheng Chenggong and Duke Ding, attacked Quanzhou City and camped in Taohua mountain. Wu Jin led the volunteers from Luoxi to Huayuantou in the north of Quanzhou to support Zheng Jun. However, Zheng Hongkui had retired and was heavily guarded in the city. Military strategist Zhang Huaiyin (Xie Yingkui) strongly advocated a strong attack. Wu Jin thought that the enemy was strong and we were weak, and a forced attack on the city might lead to the annihilation of the whole army, so he ordered to withdraw. For this reason, the two disagreed. Zhang Huaiyin took his headquarters to honglai, Nan'an County, and set up another mountain. Later, he was recruited by the Qing army. In October, the Wujin rebellion attacked the local armed strongholds such as the Du's ancestral hall in Fengqi, Majia Township, to fight against the feudal forces. In the fifth year of Shunzhi, the number of uprising troops increased to tens of thousands. In November of the fifth year of Shunzhi (1648), 300 soldiers of Ma De power, deputy general of the Qing army, entered Quanzhou. Huang Mingtai was the guide to "encircle and suppress" the Wujin uprising. Huang Mingtai offered to cut off the water source of Xianglu village, and Wu Wei led the uprising army to repel the Qing army's attacks again and again. Later, Wu Wei rushed down the mountain to fight and was tripped over by the enemy with ropes. He was captured and nailed to the gate. Then, the Qing soldiers besieged banling'an village, and ma de used his suspicions to make the soldiers march at night. Wu Jin thought that the Qing army had arrived. In order to preserve his strength, he ordered his subordinates to disperse and hide in a cave in sunkeng. The banling'an stronghold broke down and Wu Jin was quickly captured and killed. At last, the Qing army besieged Yuye village. Although Wu ER was brave and good at fighting, he was eager to win and was captured. Ma Degong sent Zhang Huaiyin to persuade him to surrender. When Wu Er learned that Wu Jin and Wu Wei had been killed, he was filled with anger. He struggled to break the shackles and killed Zhang Huaiyin on the spot. A few days later, Wu ER was taken to Liujia street in honglai and executed.
