道光十九年，出為福建巡撫，時方嚴煙禁，英吉利窺伺沿海，偕總督鄧廷楨籌防，敵兵至，不得逞，二十年，調湖北巡撫，未行，暫護閩浙總督。 In the nineteenth year of the Daoguang reign (1839) he was appointed governor of Fujian. The opium ban was then being strictly enforced, and Britain was watching the coast; together with Governor-General Deng Ting-zhen he organized defenses, and when enemy forces arrived they were unable to gain their object. In the twentieth year (1840) he was transferred to governor of Hubei, but before he could leave he temporarily acted as governor-general of Fujian and Zhejiang.
