瑞澂棄城走，詔革職，仍令權總督事，戴罪圖功，並令陸軍大臣廕昌督師往討，薩鎮冰率兵艦、程允和率水師援之，而瑞澂已乘兵艦由漢口而蕪湖而九江，且至上海矣。 Rui Cheng abandoned the city and fled; an edict removed him from office yet left him acting governor-general to redeem himself in battle; Army Minister Yinchang was sent to lead the campaign, Sa Zhenbing with warships and Cheng Yunhe with the river fleet to support him—but Rui Cheng had already fled by gunboat from Hankou through Wuhu and Jiujiang and was nearly at Shanghai.

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.
