Zheng Zhilong's avoidance of battle allowed Zheng Chenggong to recover the Fushan Forward Post without shedding a drop of blood. By the time Zeng Ying and Yang Zhan arrived with the main naval forces, Zheng Chenggong had already taken over the city's defenses.
After handing over the defense command, Zheng Chenggong once again led his troops south. Zheng Zhilong still refused to fight and retreated southward once more. Without expending a single soldier or even breaking a sweat, Zheng Chenggong had secured the credit for recovering lost territory. Although Zeng Ying and Yang Zhan felt envious, they had no intention of stealing the glory. Instead, they kept Zheng Chenggong as the vanguard of the navy, advancing southward along the coastline.
On October 14, Zheng Chenggong retook Lingshanwei.
On October 15, he retook the Xiahezhai Forward Post.
On October 17, he retook the Shijiudao Garrison.
On October 18, he retook Andongwei.
