Later, Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng supported King Fu and controlled the government. They immediately retaliated against these members of the reunion society and persecuted the members of the reunion society who had opposed them.

Famous figures such as Huang Zongxi, Gu Yanwu, Fang Yizhi, and Chen Zhenhui were all detained in Nanjing Imperial Prison, and were tortured and forced to confess and lived a hard life. The rest of the scattered figures were issued by Ma Ruan and the other officials in the name of the state and the state were strictly ordered to arrest them, and all the members of the society were detained in prisons of various states and counties. Even their families and their involved disciples were also imprisoned. The entire society force suffered an almost devastating blow.

It is said that the terrifying atmosphere created by Ma Ruan and others is not only to scare these resumption personnel, but to kill them step by step.

According to Ma Shiying and others' original intention, they were executed after confirming their crimes and confirmed their evidence, so that all members of the reunion society in Jiangnan were completely eliminated in one fell swoop to eliminate future troubles.

Qian Qianyi, who is now reporting to King Li Xiao of Tang, is actually a member of the Fushe Society. However, when he saw Ma Shiying and others in charge of power, he quickly transformed himself and began to write a letter to Ma Shiying shamelessly. For a moment, everyone at that time despised him.

Seeing that he knew the times and knew how to advance and retreat, although he despised his character, Qian Qianyi's flattery was really useful. Therefore, in order to win over the so-called Donglin Qingliu and Fushe backbone to show his mind and skills, he recommended Qian Qianyi as the Minister of Rites of the Hongguang Court of the Southern Ming Dynasty. Qian Qianyi escaped the disaster and turned misfortune into a blessing, and since then he lived in the Hongguang Court.

However, Ma Shiying and others did not expect that when the work of concealing crimes was about to be completed, the Tang King Li Xiao suddenly led his troops south and captured Nanjing in one fell swoop. The Hongguang pseudo-government moved the capital in a hurry and fled to Fuzhou. In this way, those bachelors who were imprisoned in prison could escape by chance by chance.

Li Xiao noticed that after Qian Qianyi said this, the other demoted officials at the ranks were also secretly observing him, wanting to see how Li Xiao reacted.

To put it bluntly, they want to see which side the position of this Tang King Li Xiao is on.

After all, now everyone such as Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng have fled, leaving behind these demoted officials, mostly sympathizing or appreciating the Fushe. If Li Xiao can successfully release these detained Fushe personnel, it will undoubtedly show them a very credible and close attitude. With this attitude as the premise, then the Fushe personnel and their sympathizers will have a bright future that is completely different from the Hongguang Pseudo-Dynasty in the future.

Seeing their vulgar and cowardly inquiring, Li Xiao laughed secretly.

Speaking of which, compared to the successful acquisition of Jiangnan, the Donglin Party and the Fushe River were just passing clouds for Li Xiao, and there was not much worthy of attention.

Moreover, in Li Xiao's employment system, such parties and disputes in the late Ming Dynasty were of no benefit to him.

However, in order to win over the hearts of the people, Li Xiao was still happy to give these unlucky guys who were imprisoned and had a visible and tangible way to live.

After all, in Li Xiao's past experience, he has always been generous and good at using these scholars in the Ming Dynasty. Even if he cannot use it, he has never harmed anyone.

Li Xiao was happy to see this reputation as a scholar and a nurse, and was willing to deliberately maintain it.

Therefore, after Qian Qianyi finished saying this, Li Xiao looked around everyone and finally said lightly: "In my opinion, the words of Shangshu Qian are very reasonable. I think my pilgrimage is very kind and I will never allow anyone to use the public to report private power and manipulate power. How can this fake dynasty be allowed to continue? I will pass on the orders of this king to release all the reorganized personnel who were wrongly imprisoned in prison. If anyone is willing to be an official in this dynasty, he will also choose the best ones and record them."

Li Xiao's words immediately caused a great commotion below. Many surrendered officials whispered to each other, but their faces were filled with relief and joy.

The reason why they were happy was not entirely for the scholars of the society, but perhaps more for their future. Therefore, when they saw Li Xiao being generous and released all the people of the society, they loved the house and were inexplicably happy.

Qian Qianyi immediately knelt down and said happily: "Thank you, King Tang! The King of Tang loves nurses so much and lifts up Qingliu. All scholars in the world are very grateful! Here, I will restore the scholars for you. Thank you, sir."

The others also stepped forward and expressed their gratitude to Li Xiao.

Seeing their turn of expressions, Li Xiao smiled secretly. However, on the surface, he just smiled softly, then waved his hand and signaled them to retreat first.

After all, for Li Xiao now, how to take over the entire Jiangnan as soon as possible is the most important and urgent thing.

Now, it is just a matter of a simple task to rescue the resumption students who have been detained, and it is nothing at all.

However, Li Xiao focused all his attention on military wars, but he could not help but underestimate the energy of these let go scholars of Fushe too much.

What he did not expect was that scholars such as Huang Zongxi and Gu Yanwu who were released would cause him great trouble one day in the future.

Next, taking over Li Xiao's plan, the three Tang troops in the Jiangnan area were attacking and killing, and they were invincible. Wherever their troops went, they sang triumphantly and played happily, and thousands of families surrendered.

The eighth town troops of Liu Zehan's army are now in an uninhabited state, and they have quickly taken all the Xiazhou and counties into their territory. Like Zhenjiang, Changzhou, Suzhou, Songjiang, Taiping, Ningguo, Chizhou, Huizhou, etc., they are almost determined in one go. There is no battle in many places. Just when the troops are at the city, the officials of the prefectures and counties immediately opened the city and surrendered.

In the end, Liu Zehan's army occupied the most prosperous southeastern land in Southern Zhili in less than a month and a half. Then, according to Li Xiao's plan, the entire army advanced westward and headed straight to Jiangxi, preparing to fight with Huang Degong's army.

Cao Bianjiao's seventh town troops quickly captured the entire Yingtian Prefecture after moving south in Nanjing City and then advanced into Guangdezhou. After Guangdezhou Prefecture surrendered without fighting, Cao Bianjiao immediately entered the southeast and the entire army entered the boundary of Xiaofeng County, Zhejiang.

Xiaofeng County quickly opened the door and surrendered. Cao Bianjiao did not stop and led the entire Seventh Town troops to advance eastward, and the troops headed straight to Hangzhou.

Seeing the arrival of the Tang army, Zhejiang Governor Zhang Bingzhen and Lu King Zhu Changqing opened the Hangzhou city gate together to welcome the Tang army into the city. This paradise on earth, Hangzhou, finally fell into the hands of the Tang army in an intact way. The whole city of Hangzhou was celebrated and praised by the people.

Then, in the next two months, Cao Bianjiao divided several troops and attacked everywhere, quickly included the entire territory of Zhejiang under the rule of the Tang army. Finally, the third battalion of the seventh town, the first battalion of the army stationed in Hangzhou and other important cities, while the other two battalions went south and went straight outside Xianxia Pass.

The Tang army was facing this important pass that entered Fujian, which made Zheng Zhilong, who was determined to protect the entire province of Fujian, panic.

He immediately drew troops from all over Fujian, making nearly 100,000 troops garrisoned in Xianxia Pass, hoping to use his troops and terrain advantages to make the Tang army deterred and dare not attack.

But he didn't expect that the Tang army was actually quite satisfied with the current results and did not want to continue to attack south. He just wanted to maintain huge pressure on him in such a way that the troops were at the city, so that he would not dare to peek at Zhejiang.

Therefore, although the Tang army and Zheng Zhilong's troops were nervously confronted each other, they were still peaceful for a while.

Huang Degong's ninth town troops attacked from Nanjing City and from Nanzhili to Jiangxi.

Originally, the northern part of Jiangxi was originally the territory of Zuo Liangyu, but some time ago, in order to protect Luzhou Prefecture and other Jiangbei from being captured by the Tang army, Zuo Liangyu drew a large number of troops from the rear territory like northern Jiangxi to support the country. The entire northern part of Jiangxi was in an extremely empty state.

Zuo Liangyu never expected that the Tang army could quickly capture Yangzhou and cross the river to the south. After taking Nanjing, they sent troops to attack their weak points and caught himself off guard.

Now, because there are almost no garrisons in Guangxin Prefecture, Nanchang Prefecture, Yuanzhou Prefecture, Fuzhou Prefecture, Linjiang Prefecture and other places, they basically surrendered without fighting and were quickly included in the jurisdiction of the Tang army. Only Jiujiang Prefecture, which still has a strong force, is still resisting tenaciously, which is barely retaining the last fulcrum for himself in Jiangxi.

In order to maintain this rare fulcrum, Zuo Liangyu was helpless and could only continue to draw troops from Huguang to aid Jiujiang. He hoped that this fulcrum located in Jiangxi would not be quickly conquered by the Tang army.

After all, with one gram of Jiujiang, the northern border of Jiangxi was completely under the hands of the Tang army, and the entire eastern Hubei department was completely open. The Tang army could directly attack Zuo Liangyu's old nest Wuchang, causing Zuo Liangyu's tribe to fall apart completely. This was what he least wanted to see.

What made Zuo Liangyu feel a little relieved was that after taking over the entire northern part of Jiangxi, Huang Degong did not take a strong attack on Jiujiang. Instead, he only concentrated two battalions of troops and surrounded Jiujiang City to prevent it from being rescued and let the enemy sit in a trapped city of sorrow.
