Those on the northerly route reached Ning-shan on February 16th, were joined there by a surviving group of Shih Ta-k’ai’s expeditionary soldiers under Cheng Chung-ho, and on March 26th converged at Nei-hsiang as planned with Ma Jung-ho’s army from the southerly route. Ch’en Ta-hsi’s Nien army, which had returned to Honan in the spring of 1863, also came to Nei-hsiang soon thereafter, at which point the entire force proceeded to Tsao-yang in Hupeh.

About the time he was forty, Yuan Hao-wen served in a series of posts in southern Honan as a local official. He was governor of three prefectures — Nei-hsiang, Nan-yang, and Chen-p’ing — all in southwest Honan. Nei-hsiang was then alive with literati refugees, and Tu Shan-fu and Ma Ko in particular were his good poet-friends.
