military action

Wang Ying's birth year and native place are unknown. In 875, he served as the zhenyeshi of Langshan (now Nantong, Jiangsu Province) in the west of Zhejiang Province, under Zhao Yin, the Zhenhai Jiedushi. At that time, he and 68 generals won military achievements, but Zhao Yin refused to give them material rewards and only gave them additional titles. When Wang Ying and others could not get material rewards, they launched a mutiny. Led by Wang Ying, they seized weapons from the armory and plundered the nearby areas. The rebels soon expanded to 10000 people, captured Suzhou and Changzhou, and established a fleet, so that they could travel freely in the upper and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and the east coast. They plundered in Zhenhai, eastern Zhejiang and Fujian. (Zizhitongjian volume 252) in 876, Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty was appointed the former governor of Yanzhou. Gao Jie was the general of Zuo Xiaowei. He served as the commander of the coastal army and led the fleet against Wang Ying. However, Gao Jie did not win. But soon, Wang Ying tried to negotiate with Wenzhou governor Lu Shi, trying to return to the imperial court and regain his appointment. Lu Shi supported Wang Ying's request, and the imperial court initially accepted it, but asked Wang Ying to give up his army and go to Chang'an to see the emperor before appointing him. Wang Ying didn't go, delaying half a year. Later, he proposed that he should be an envoy of Wanghai Town, which was rejected by the imperial court. The imperial court allowed him to be the leader of Youli government, and claimed that he was allowed to keep the looted property. (Zizhitongjian volume 252) in the spring of 877, Wang Ying lured Lu Shi into the boat and captured him. Lu Shi's headquarters fled. Hearing the news, the imperial court appointed song Hao, the general of Youlong military university, to recruit envoys for all the roads in the south of the Yangtze River and led 15000 people to attack Wang Ying. Wang Ying captured Wanghai, plundered Mingzhou and Taizhou, captured Taizhou, and forced Wang Bao to retreat to tangxing. Fu Zong ordered Zhenhai, eastern Zhejiang and Fujian to provide warships against Wang Ying. (Zizhitongjian volume 253)

Death

But when Wang Ying returned to Zhenhai to plunder, Pei Ying, the new governor, gathered his troops and refused to meet Wang Ying. He also induced Zhu Shi, Wang Ying's minister, to surrender and made him general Jinwu. Zhu Shi led 6000 or 7000 people to surrender, and Wang Ying's troops began to disperse. Wang Ying gathered the rest of the crowd and retreated to Mingzhou. Liu Jurong, the repressor of Yongqiao Town, shot Wang Ying with a barrel arrow. Wang Ying's rebellion was put to an end.
