As soon as Ji'an arrived, the main force of the Qing army's Jiangxi Green Battalion was exhausted, the gate of Nanchang was opened, and Zhang Chaolin, the Qing Jiangxi governor, had no more troops and horses to reject the Taiping army.

According to Tang Sanshui, the Qing Guangdong Admiral who was guarding Jishui County, when he heard that Ji'an had been massacred, he was so frightened that he fled without a fight, and led his troops to retreat to Linjiang House. The next day, when the Taiping army approached the city, He Jie, the magistrate of Jishui County, led the gentry and people in the city to present a yellow book to the city, saying "Welcome to the soldiers of tomorrow".

On the third day of the eighth lunar month, the Taiping army marched north in large numbers, and the Qing army garrisoned in Xingan, Xinyu, and Xiajiang, under the jurisdiction of Linjiang Prefecture, surrendered upon hearing the news, and no officer or soldier dared to stand against the city.

On the seventh day of the eighth lunar month, the fifteenth town of the Taiping Army captured Qingjiang County, where Linjiangfucheng was located, chased and killed Tang Sanshui, the admiral of Guangdong in the Qing Dynasty, until Fengcheng, and captured Huang Xuanchao, the prefect of Linjiang of the Qing Dynasty, and Xu Xuezeng and others, after reporting to the commander. The town general Qi Hao ordered Huang Xuanchao, Xu Xuezeng and others to be executed as an example.

After capturing Lin'an Mansion, Zhou Shixiang led his troops northward to attack Ruizhou, sent town general Jiang He and others to attack Yuanzhou Mansion, defeated the Qing general Zhang Xiankui's army of more than 3,000 people, and occupied Yuanzhou. The four counties under the jurisdiction of Yuanzhou Prefecture, Yichun, Fenyi, Pingxiang, and Wanzai, were all descended. Some officials who were not able to wear clothes when Xunming spent a lot of money to buy them from Taoists, or from actors. All kinds of ancient clothes, no distinction between birds and animals, full of farce.

A few Qing officials in Linjiang and Yuanzhou who were unwilling to surrender were all arrested and killed. Liu Tongchun, the head of the Qing Dynasty, was captured in Yuanzhou. Hearing that he had been captured, Zhou Shixiang ordered him to be transported to Linjiang.

Liu Tongchun left his wife and children and family members when Jin and Wang returned to Ming Dynasty and left the city. Qiao disguised as a monk Xingye and fled to Nanjing to ask for help. Later, he provided the Qing army general Tan Tai with a geographical map of Jiangxi for the Qing army. The attack on Nanchang and its neighboring prefectures and counties neutralized the illustrious credit. If it weren't for this person, Jin Shengheng and Wang Deren would not have been defeated so quickly, and the more than 200,000 people in Nanchang City would not have been slaughtered.

Zhou Shixiang tried Liu Tongchun on a blind date, and Liu Tongchun scolded him. Zhou Shixiang was furious and ordered to cut off the man's tongue, and nailed his ten fingers with big nails, causing him to die. After a night of torture, the blind man Li bound Liu Tongchun on Nancheng Street, called the crowd to watch, and executed Liu Tongchun by beheading him in the waist. Later, Linjiang quickly informed Yuanzhou, ordering to capture more than 300 people named Liu in Yuanzhou's Liu family's commander's house, and behead all of them, so that the traitor would not be left behind.

The main force of the Taiping army on the west road was progressing smoothly, and Zhu Qinglai's troops from Xiner Town on the east road also advanced rapidly. Wen Ji'an fell, and the admiral Liu Guangbi died. The Fuzhou Linchuan defender Liu Shiyuan led his troops to surrender, and then invited the vanguard to attack Fuzhou City. The Qing army in the city held on for two days, but fled without support, and Fuzhou went down. Following the order of the military commander's office, Zhu Qinglai killed all the officials and gentry in the city who did not surrender. Qing Raozhou defender Tang Yongzhong took over the city anyway, so far, all the four prefectures east of Jiangxi fell into the hands of the Taiping army. When the news reached Nanchang, Zhang Chaolin, the governor of Jiangxi Province, wrote to the Qing court with a heartache, saying that Jiangxi was in chaos, and there were no fortified cities in the province, but only two isolated cities in Nanchang and Jiujiang. The gain and loss of Gan Province are only in the blink of an eye!

On August 14th, Xinyi Town of the Taiping Army attacked Ruizhou. When the two sides were fighting outside the city, Zheng Qiren, the deputy general of the Ruizhou Right Association, secretly told the Taiping Army to sell the camp and return to the camp, causing Jiang Renxin, the commander of Qing Ruizhou, to be killed. Zheng Qiren kidnapped Wang Jian, the prefect of Qingrui Prefecture, and others from Kaicheng to surrender.

Once Ruizhou was lost, there was no city or pool south of Nanchang that could stop the Taiping army. There were no soldiers and horses to defend in Nanchang City. The governor Zhang Chaolin took the strict order that the frontier officials could not abandon the soil. They could not defend, fight, and retreat. Officials of all sizes came to ask about the policy, but Zhang Chaolin had no idea. As long as the officials from Zuo Buzheng, Tong Fengcai and others sent people out of the city to call on the gentry and citizens of the four villages to enter the city to defend the city, they also ordered Wang Ting of the right government to go to Jiujiang to summon the Jiujiang chief soldier Yang Yuan to lead his troops to guard the province. city. Yang Yuan saw the order, but refused to rescue the provincial capital on the grounds that Jiujiang had few soldiers.

Jiangxi censor Li Zhicui secretly asked Zhang Chaolin to return to the Ming Dynasty with Nanchang anyway. Zhang Chaolin was furious and ordered the chief soldier Chen Sheng to arrest Li Zhicui. Chen Sheng did not obey the order, and ordered his subordinates to treat Li Zhicui favorably. The subordinates were puzzled. Chen Sheng said: "Li Gong's strategy is only to save us. Nanchang will be lost today. Why kill people in vain?

On August 21, when the Taiping army finally arrived at Nanchang City, Zhang Chaolin ordered Chen Sheng, the commander-in-chief, to defend the city. However, Chen Sheng and Li Zhicui conspired to capture Zhang Chaolin, and opened the south gate to welcome the Taiping army into the city.

After Zhou Shixiang entered the city, he ordered Zhang Chaolin, Tong Fengcai and other false officials to be brought up to ask them why they did not surrender.

Zhang Chaolin didn't say a word, but Tong Fengcai shouted: "There is a difference between the flag and the Han, how can there be a reason for the flag people to drop the Han dog!"

Hearing this, Zhou Shixiang did not talk nonsense, and ordered the Han army banner officers such as Zhang Chaolin and Tong Fengcai to be dismembered and discarded. Afterwards, an order was issued. The Han officials in Jiangxi Province came down anyway, and they were all given their original positions. If the banner officer is killed, the officer will be promoted by one level; if the flag officer is killed, the officer will be promoted by two levels.

On the 23rd, Zhou Shixiang ordered Li Zhicui to hold his token to go to Jiujiang, claiming that the army would march more than 100,000 to the next day, and that only by returning quickly could they avoid the massacre. Chen Yuan, the commander-in-chief of Jiujiang in the Qing Dynasty, was so frightened that his face turned ashen, he released the seal and fled. On the way, they met Tang Sanshui, the Qing Guangdong Admiral who had fled in a hurry. The two thought carefully. If they escaped like this, the Qing court would definitely punish the crime in the future, so under Tang Sanshui's power, Chen Yuan bravely followed him to the west of Jiujiang. Ruichang City in the Qing Dynasty reported the crisis situation in Jiangxi Province to the Qing court, and sent personnel to Anqing for help.

In Jiujiang City ~www.NovelMTL.com~ After Chen Yuan escaped, other officials and some gentlemen also dispersed in a hurry. In a flash, there was no official or official to maintain the important town of Jiujiang, and it fell into a state of "anarchy" in later generations.

Hearing about the situation in Jiujiang, Zhou Shixiang burst into laughter. Two days later, Jiujiang Shimin sent representatives to Nanchang to invite the Great Ming Army to take over Jiujiang City. Ge Yi was ordered to lead troops to take over Jiujiang, and then occupied Hukou, Pengze and other places. So far, except for a few places in Jiangxi that are still in the hands of the Qing army, the rest of the prefectures and counties are all owned by the Taiping army.

Li Zhicui joined the new master and wanted to make new achievements, so he appealed to Zhou Shixiang, saying: "Long Tingzuo, the pseudo-governor, sent an envoy to ask troops to rescue Jiangning. Today, the soldiers should take advantage of the trend of breaking bamboo and go down the river under the banner of Qing soldiers. He threatened Jiangning to open the door for reinforcements from Jiangxi Province, and his generals, civil and military officers, could stand up for capture. Then he changed the flag, sow the year, and paid tribute to the mausoleum. Who can get it and keep it clean?"

Zhou Shixiang attached great importance to this suggestion. On the one hand, he set out to deploy to the south of the Yangtze River. On the other hand, he ordered the Hunan Field Army to command Zhao Sihai to send troops to attack Changsha. After that, the Hunan Army Corps along the lower reaches of the river and the Northern Expedition Army joined forces to take Jiangnan slightly to deal with the Shunzhi army that came from Beijing. Just as Zhou Shixiang was preparing to go eastward on Li Zhicui's strategy, there was a great change under the city of Nanjing.
