崇光知候補道岑毓英、降回總兵馬如龍可用，四年春，令參將馮世興與二人合師攻克曲靖，擒榮、連升等斬以徇，遂收馬龍、尋甸，迤東肅清，遣提督趙德光克平江外賊巢，复廣順，進克貴州，黔西大定。 Chongguang knew that expectant circuit intendant Cen Yuying and the surrendered Muslim major-general Ma Rulong were capable commanders; in the spring of 1865 he ordered brigade commander Feng Shixing to join them in a combined force that captured Qujing, seized Rong, Liansheng, and others and executed them as a warning, then recovered Malong and Xundian and pacified eastern Yunnan; he dispatched military commander Zhao Deguang to destroy rebel nests beyond the rivers, recovered Guangshun, advanced into Guizhou, and secured western Guizhou.
