召廕昌還，命軍諮使馮國璋總統第一軍，江北提督段祺瑞總統第二軍，俱受世凱節制。 Yinchang was recalled; military adviser Feng Guozhang was made commander of the First Army and Jiangbei commander-in-chief Duan Qirui commander of the Second Army, both under Yuan Shikai's orders.

國璋與黨軍戰於灄口，水陸夾擊，复漢口，連克漢陽，指日下武昌，而世凱授總理內閣大臣，遽令停攻。 Guozhang fought the revolutionaries at Xinkou in a combined land-and-water assault, retook Hankou, and captured Hanyang in succession, with Wuchang expected to fall within days; but Yuan Shikai was appointed prime minister and abruptly ordered the offensive stopped.
