August 1860 CE

The so-called second rout of the Jiangnan Daying, from March to August, 1860, has destroyed the Qing dynasty's army of one hundred and eighty thousand, but an attempt by the Taiping to take Shanghai in August is repulsed by an army of Qing troops supported by European officers under the command of Frederick Townsend Ward, assisted by local strategic support of the French diplomat Albert-Édouard Levieux de Caligny.

This army will become known as the "Ever Victorious Army", a seasoned and well trained Qing military force commanded by Charles George Gordon, and will be instrumental in the defeat of the Taiping rebels.
