彭玉麟督水師會陸軍進規沿江要隘，令朝斌率所部遊奕上下游，兜剿環攻，連克金柱關、蕪湖、東梁山，以提督記名。 Peng Yulin coordinated fleet and army against the Yangtze forts; Chaobin patrolled up- and downstream, encircled rebel positions, and took Jinzhu Pass, Wuhu, and Dongliangshan in turn, earning mark for provincial commander.

曾國籓奏設太湖水師，以朝斌將，令赴湖南造船募勇。 Zeng Guofan proposed a Taihu fleet under Chaobin and sent him to Hunan to build boats and raise troops.

朝斌一師，原為規复江、浙而設，九洑洲既克，會黃翼升淮揚水師同援上海，由長江直下，與總兵程學啟會師夾浦，督水師百艘攻沿湖賊壘，下之，進破澹台湖賊壘； Chaobin's division had been raised to retake Jiangsu and Zhejiang; after Jiufuzhou he joined Huang Yisheng's Huaiyang fleet for Shanghai, ran down the Yangtze, met Cheng Xueqi at Jiapu, led a hundred boats against lakeside forts, took them, and stormed the Tantai Lake redoubt;

賊酋李秀成率眾七八萬奪寶帶橋，朝斌會陸師合擊，血戰挫之，賊始退。 Li Xiucheng led seventy or eighty thousand men to seize Baodai Bridge; Chaobin and the land columns bloodily checked them until the rebels drew off.

李鴻章奏捷，言朝斌迭次苦戰，謀勇兼優，予雲騎尉世職。 Li Hongzhang reported victory, praising Chaobin's repeated hard fighting and combined courage and counsel, and granted him the hereditary rank of Fourth Class Cavalry Captain.

三年，偕程學啟會攻嘉興，朝斌水師由官塘進，破其七壘。 In year three, with Cheng Xueqi he besieged Jiaxing; Chaobin's fleet advanced up the Guantang canal and smashed seven forts.

湖州援賊圖竄盛澤以牽圍師，為朝斌所扼，不得逞，遂克嘉興，實授江南提督。 Huzhou relief tried to slip through to Shengze to distract the siege; Chaobin blocked them, Jiaxing fell, and he received substantive Jiangnan command.

進規湖州，由夾浦逼長興，賊眾數万，依山築壘，楊鼎勳、劉士奇等與之相持，朝斌督水師登陸襲賊後，夾擊之，盡毀西北沿水賊壘。 Pressing Huzhou from Jiapu toward Changxing, he faced tens of thousands of rebels fortifying the hills; while Yang Dingxun and Liu Shiji held the front, Chaobin landed his sailors on the rear in a pincer and destroyed every northwest river fort.

光緒四年，兩江總督沈葆楨疏請以外洋兵輪統歸朝斌節制，允之。 In Guangxu four, Shen Baozhen asked that foreign steam warships fall under Chaobin, and the court agreed.

朝斌本姓王氏，父正儒，生子四，朝斌最幼，襁褓育於李氏。 Chaobin was born a Wang; his father Zhengru had four sons, and the youngest was raised from infancy by the Li family.

朝斌官江南提督時，牒請歸宗，曾國籓引金史張詩事，謂：「朝斌所處相同，定例出嗣之子，亦視所繼父母有無子嗣為斷。 As Jiangnan commander he petitioned to revert to the Wang surname; Zeng Guofan cited Zhang Shi's case in the Jin History: "Chaobin's situation matches the rule for an adopted son who leaves the line—it depends on whether the adoptive parents have heirs of their own.

參考古禮今律，朝斌應於李氏別立一宗，於王氏不通婚姻。 By ancient rite and current law, Chaobin should establish a separate sacrificial line for the Lis and refrain from intermarriage with the Wangs.

王氏本生父母由朝斌奉養殘年，庶為兩全之道。」 Chaobin would support his Wang birth parents in their old age, as a compromise that served both families."

同治元年，改隸太湖水師，從李朝斌回籍造船，領前營。 In Tongzhi year one he joined the Taihu fleet, followed Li Chaobin home to build boats, and led the forward battalion.
