| Summary: |
This print shows a battle scene at the city gates of Yangzhou and Zhenjiang. The inscription informs that the Taiping rebels are running for their lives and escaping in the direction of the Jinshan mountains west of Zhenjiang city. The officials hear about the rebels who burn everything down, and are time and time again angered by the atrocities. They immediately set up an army that moves forth to the cities and suburbs. The liberating army consisting of all possible recruits fights with extraordinary skills. While the rebels flee they are killed by the swords of the liberating army. The print shows how they drive away and resist the enemy as they hold their heads and skulk away in shame towards Yangzhou city. A note on the left of the print explains that the captured Taiping rebels from Jiangxi province are ordered to be skinned alive. |
