His forces captured Jiujiang (九江) and Anqing (安庆), breached Jiangning (江宁) by sap and explosives, and carried out widespread plunder and slaughter. He established his capital at Tianjing (天京), converted residences into palaces and set up new offices and rituals. Decrees banned slavery and foot binding and opened plans for examinations and trade. Yang Xiuqing (杨秀卿) expanded his power by claiming divine authority. He seized young women for his household and sponsored a corrupt examination that even named a female top scholar. Military operations were complex and multitiered. Lin Fengxiang (林凤祥) and other commanders struck at Fengyang and a string of towns. The fighting swung back and forth. Jiang Zhongyuan (江中原) was killed in desperate combat, a loss that shocked the court and local morale. Zeng Guofan (曾国藩) responded by recruiting militia and building a river fleet. After storms on Dongting Lake (洞庭湖) and heavy losses, Zeng's forces staged a fire attack near Xiangtan (湘潭) that destroyed many rebel vessels. Qing forces then won a major naval victory at Chenglinji (成林机), seizing dozens of ships and opening passages by breaking iron chains. Li Mengqun (李孟群), Luo Zenan (罗泽南) and Zhou Fengshan (周奉山) joined pooled efforts to retake river strongholds. Wuchang (武昌) and Hanyang (汉阳) were recovered in combined sea and land operations. In Jiangxi and Jiangnan local heroes such as Shen Baozhen (沈宝珍) and his wife inspired defenders while Peng Yuliyin (彭于丽音) marched long distances to assist. Brutal internal politics and atrocities accompanied the war. Yang Xiuqing's faction perpetrated abuses that provoked violent reprisals and factional slaughter. Wei Changhui (伟昌辉) and rival leaders struck back. Meanwhile Qi Shan (齐善) and other commanders were deposed after defeats and surprise counterattacks by figures like Lai Hanying (赖翰英) complicated the front. Zeng Guofan's continuing campaigns eventually reclaimed Nankang, Jiujiang, Ji'an, Wuchang and Hanyang. The conflict remained fluid. Towns changed hands multiple times and social and military strains persisted despite temporary recoveries. <p>太平军在前江拥戴洪秀全为主，东下连克九江、安庆等要地，攻破江宁城，纵情掠夺军资与民财。建都天京，改府为王宫，设龙凤殿与天官地官，颁布科举通商等新制，并禁绝买奴与缠足，设女官理宫务。杨秀卿倚仗神权扩张势力，搜掠美女为妾，设科举选女状元，朝廷与军内权力渐趋腐化。战场上林凤祥等多线出击，连取凤阳、深州、平阳等城，攻守互有胜负。江中原在城外力战身亡，曾国藩闻讯痛惜，紧急募兵造舰，整顿水师。洞庭湖风暴与湘潭火战并存，湘军以火攻焚毁敌船重创不利一方。清军于成林机一役大胜，破铁锁开道，焚沉数千战船，逐步收复武昌汉阳与沿江要塞。地方将领罗泽南、李孟群、周奉山等驰援并合力反攻。江西及江南多地陷入相持或收复，守城者沈宝珍及其夫人等以坚守鼓舞民心。朝廷内外并存激烈派争，杨党滥杀与魏党反扑，杨秀卿终遭反杀。历经数次胜败与整顿，曾国藩沿江鏖战虽收复部分城池，然战事反复，社会创伤深重，局势仍未能彻底安定。</p>.
