General Chen Ling-Shu, later Admiral Chen Ling-Shu, served under General Peng Yu-Ling.

After the Taiping Rebellion was crushed, the Hunan armies petitioned to the Manchu Court to disband themselves, for fear of rumored rebellion against the Manchus as they had grown too powerful in the eyes of the Manchus. The Manchu Court only agreed to turn Peng Yu-Ling's army into a navy.

  • Hu Linyi (胡林翼)
