In the fourth year of Xianfeng (1854), in July, the "three-point meeting" was found and raided by the enemy in Wushiqiao. Yan, the person in charge of "Underwater", was shot dead on the spot, and the roster of members of the "Three Meetings" also fell into enemy hands. The situation was extremely critical, and Huang, Huang Dianyuan and others decisively revolted in advance. On the evening of July 7, the leaders of the "Three o'clock Meeting" and people with lofty ideals from capitals and conferences gathered in Song 'an Village (the former site of Zhuanghuang Temple) in Nanshan, which was a major event of the Shang Uprising. Everyone elected Huang as commander-in-chief, Huang Dianyuan as marshal, Ma as strategist, Ye Yangzeng, Huang Dianchen, Hong, Yan and others as leaders of various rebel forces. Finally, Huang Dianyuan read the Order he drafted.

It is said that when Huang Dianyuan read a campaign, the crowd was furious and everyone shouted anti-Qing slogans, which was very spectacular.

On July 9th of the same year, the insurgents besieged Haifeng County, killed the garrison and erected trees, and captured Zhou Lin alive. The teachings of Dian Shi and the magistrate Lin Chi-ling were made public. In the same year 1 1 month 13, Shanwei fort was captured, forcing Xiancheng Shi Daobin to commit suicide. At this time, the Qing government mobilized a large number of elite troops to "encirclement and suppression" the insurgents. Because the enemy has the cooperation of neighboring cities, counties and townships who are familiar with the geographical environment, the rebel army is outnumbered and forced to evacuate Haicheng and retreat into the mountains to deal with the enemy.
