時兩江總督百齡劾南河總督陳鳳翔誤啟智、禮兩壩，鳳翔已被譴，自訴辯，又訐百齡信任鹽巡道硃爾賡額督辦葦蕩失當，命彭齡、松筠往按。 Liangjiang Governor-General Bai Ling then impeached Southern Canal Governor-General Chen Fengxiang for wrongly opening the Zhi and Li barrages. Fengxiang had already been censured, argued in his defense, and accused Bai Ling of trusting Salt Patrol Commissioner Zhu Ergeng’e to oversee reed marshes improperly; Pengling and Songyun were ordered to investigate.

百齡於啟壩時實同畫諾，遂請薄懲百齡，而硃爾賡額被重譴，語詳百齡等傳。 Bai Ling had in fact co-signed the order to open the barrages; Pengling therefore asked for leniency toward Bai Ling while Zhu Ergeng’e received heavy punishment, as set forth in the biographies of Bai Ling and others.

彭齡與百齡、師誠意不合，各擬章程，上詔斥其不能和衷。 Pengling clashed with Bai Ling and Shicheng; each drafted his own regulations, and the emperor rebuked them for failing to cooperate.

既而疏劾百齡、師誠受關道鹽員饋銀，又劾陳桂生弊混，命大學士托津、尚書景安往按，至則百齡、師誠嗾屬員多方沮格，所劾並不得實。 He then memorialized that Bai Ling and Shicheng had accepted silver from customs and salt officials and again accused Chen Guisheng of mixed abuses. Grand Secretary Tuojin and Minister Jing An were sent to investigate; on arrival Bai Ling and Shicheng had their subordinates obstruct the inquiry at every turn, and none of the charges held.

百齡复劾彭齡沉湎於酒，事一委茅豫，文致陳桂生之罪，私拆批摺，挾怨誣參； Bai Ling impeached Pengling again for drowning himself in wine, leaving all business to Mao Yu, fabricating Chen Guisheng’s crimes, opening memorials privately, and lodging charges out of spite.

河北滑縣教匪起，總督百齡檄寅往徐州協守禦。 When sect rebels broke out in Huaxian, Hebei, Governor-General Bailin summoned Yin to Xuzhou to help with the defense.

嘉慶十四年，百齡為兩廣總督，疏請調硃爾賡額廣東，擢高廉道，署督糧道，剿匪事一以倚之。 In Jiaqing 14 Bailin became governor-general of the two Guang provinces and requested Zhu Ergenge's transfer to Guangdong. Promoted to Gaolian intendant and appointed acting grain intendant under the governor, Ergenge was entrusted with the entire anti-pirate campaign.

翌晨，從百齡登舟，行四十里，見列艦數百，夾水如衢，舉砲迎，聲震城中。 The next morning he boarded with Bailin and sailed forty li. Hundreds of pirate vessels lined the channel like a floating street, firing cannon in salute until the sound shook the city.

十六年，河決李家樓，特命百齡為兩江總督治河事，調硃爾賡額為江南鹽巡道。 In the sixteenth year the Yellow River burst at Lijialou. Bailin was specially appointed Liangjiang governor-general to manage the river works, and Zhu Ergenge was made Jiangnan salt patrol intendant.

至則佐百齡定計，接築洪澤湖口束清壩，逼溜刷深太平河，使水有所歸。 On arrival he helped Bailin devise the plan: continue building the Shuqing Dam at the mouth of Hongze Lake, force the current to scour the Taiping River deeper, and give the floodwater somewhere to go.

百齡檄硃爾賡額督治其事，乃請以盪地不產柴者給樵兵，人四十畝，給牛具籽種，建棚廠以居，盪始有兵。 Bailin ordered Zhu Ergenge to reform the system. Ergenge proposed assigning unproductive marshland to the lumber corps—forty mu per man—with oxen, tools, seed, and sheds for housing. Only then did the marsh actually have soldiers on the ground.

百齡悉其奸，偕河督察訊，硃爾賡額往勘定十七年新葦，每束箍口以二尺八寸為率，增舊三寸，估右營得葦八百萬束； Bailin saw through the scheme. Together with the river superintendent he investigated, and Zhu Ergenge went to set the standard for the new harvest of the seventeenth year: each bundle's mouth measured two chi eight cun, three cun more than the old gauge, with an estimated yield of eight million bundles for the right camp.

時河督陳鳳翔為百齡所劾，自訴於朝，命尚書松筠、侍郎初彭齡按訊，牽及葦蕩事。 River Superintendent Chen Fengxiang, whom Bailin had impeached, appealed to the throne. Ministers Songyun and Vice Minister Chu Pengling were ordered to investigate, and the reed-marsh affair was dragged into the case.

硃爾賡額因百齡前劾鳳翔詞不盡實，獄無結正，原以身任，遂不辯。 Because Bailin's earlier impeachment of Fengxiang had not been fully truthful and the case could not be properly closed, Zhu Ergenge was willing to bear the blame himself and made no defense.

尋百齡至粵，追論熊光，且劾玉庭不以實入告，坐罷歸。 Soon afterward Bailin arrived in Guangdong, reopened the case against Wu Xiongguang, and also impeached Sun Yuting for failing to report the facts truthfully. Sun Yuting was dismissed and sent home.
