咸豐三年正月，粵匪既陷武昌，兩江總督陸建瀛赴上游督師，祥厚偕江蘇巡撫楊文定留守江寧。 In the first month of 1853, after the Taiping forces had captured Wuchang, Governor-General Lu Jianying of the Two Jiangs went upriver to take command of the campaign, while Xianghou and Jiangsu governor Yang Wending stayed behind to defend Nanjing.

賊已蔽江而下，壽春鎮總兵恩長戰歿，建瀛遽退，文定亦不候旨迳赴鎮江。 The rebels were already sweeping down the Yangtze. Shouchun commander En Chang was killed in action. Jianying pulled back in haste, and Wending likewise rushed off to Zhenjiang without waiting for orders from the throne.
