王兴 (明朝)

王兴(1615年—1659年),原名萧嘉音,字电辉,广东恩平人。

少年不读书,亡命天涯,身材短小,人称“绣花针”。崇祯十五年(1644年)五月,率领三千农民抗清,后接受知县陈兆棠邀请,任恩平守备。后与永历朝广东巡按连城壁等联合抗清,曾配合李定国进攻广东。顺治十二年新会战役失败后,王兴部于十一月退到新兴、恩平地区,以文村作根据地,奉永历年号,长期抗清。顺治十三年(1656年)春,大败清军,清军死伤近。次年正月,清军自新会来攻,又被王兴击败。永历朝封为广宁伯[1]

永历十二年(1658年),尚可喜鉴于“王兴所踞地极险阻”[2],决定乃采取挖掘深沟之计,切断汶村的外援,长期围困汶村,十五个月后(1659年),城中粮尽,一升米要价两千文钱,一只老鼠要价一百文。八月,尚可喜再次向王兴劝降,许以高官厚爵。王兴不忍城中军民饿死,派遣五个儿子和老母带着印信、令箭前往谒见尚可喜。中秋节后两天,八月十七日夜间,王兴大宴城中官员,表示与清军达成协议。宴罢,王兴让妻子张氏和十五个妾自缢,自己再自焚死[3]。唐王朱聿钐服毒死。陈恭尹曾作《王将军挽歌》述其事迹。
