The revolutionaries also decided to launch an attack on Nanjing, which was heavily garrisoned and threatened the independence of the south-eastern region.

The allied forces persuaded Zhang Xun, the leader of the Qing army, to surrender, but he refused; Later, the Allied Forces began to bombard the Taiping Gate (the lookout tower of the Qing army) and Zhang Xun’s headquarters (the Arctic Pavilion). At this time, Zhang Renjun (the governor of Liangjiang) and Tie Liang (the general of Jiangning) advised Zhang Xun to leave and retreat. Later, when negotiating the surrender, Zhang Renjun and Tie Liang fled to Shimonoseki and went to Shanghai by Japanese warships while the Allied forces were not strong enough; Zhang Xun led 2000 people to escape to Xuzhou through Xiaguan and Pukou; The remaining garrison troops of the Qing army surrendered
