Mid-April of the fifth year of Jianxing, Chen Hengchang captured Jiangnan in less than two months.
This speed surprised everyone, and no one anticipated such a swift outcome.
Jiangnan was the most prosperous region of Da Rong, and it was also home to the most Martial Artists.
Yet, it was taken by Chen Hengchang with such ease.
It was truly captured, not conquered.
The entire process involved almost no fighting, and neither the government nor the powerful clans put up any resistance wherever the rebels went through.
When the rebels entered the city, they maintained a strict discipline, as if they were government soldiers rather than rebels.
No, even government soldiers would cause some commotion upon entering a city, yet they caused no disturbance.
While Chen Hengchang captured Jiangnan, King Da Liang was not idle, engulfing county by county, prefecture by prefecture, the entire Longnan.
