Shi Kefa
In the fourth lunar month of 1645, Zuo Liangyu () led an army from Wuhan to attack Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng (). Ma Shiying ordered Shi Kefa to set up defenses at the northern border to resist Zuo Liangyu from the east. Zuo Liangyu was eventually defeated by Huang Degong () while his army surrendered. Xuyi also surrendered to Qing and Sizhou (present-day Tianchang) fell to Qing. Shi Kefa moved back to Yangzhou and continued resisting the Qing invaders there.
