  In early 1358 Ch’en Yu-liang captured Anch’ing, and soon afterwards Nanch’ang, the key to central Kiangsi, fell without serious resistance. Ch’en then took the remaining prefectural cities of northern and central Kiangsi and detached a force to invade Fukien (it was Ch’en Yu-ting’s successful resistance to this invasion that led to Yu-ting’s rise to power there). Ch’en Yu-liang’s attempt to invade Chekiang in 1359 was also unsuccessful, but by mid-1359 he was in control of all of Kiangsi except the extreme south, as well as eastern Hupei and the Anch’ing area of Anhwei.
