During these operations Sankolinsin died, leaving Tseng Kwofan in undisputed possession of the first place among Chinese officials. Sankolinsin, when retreating after a reverse, was treacherously murdered by some villagers whose hospitality he had claimed.

Had the example of Tseng Kwofan been followed generally, it is not too much to say that the Taepings would never have got to Nanking.

The privilege thus secured caused lively gratification in the minds of all foreign residents, to whom it signified the great surrender of the inherent right to superiority claimed by the Chinese emperors, and we have recently seen that it has been accepted as a precedent. The sudden death of Tseng Kwofan in the summer of 1873 removed unquestionably the foremost public man in China.
