丁義方，湖南益陽人。 Ding Yifang was from Yiyang in Hunan.

義方收建德潰兵，簡精壯五百人，分佈守禦，自率水師駐西北門。 Yifang rallied Jiande's broken troops, picked five hundred stalwarts for the defenses, and himself held the northwest gate with the fleet.

賊乘銳攻城，義方登陴躬自搏戰，會副將成發翔來援，賊引去。 The rebels pressed the assault at full heat; Yifang fought on the ramparts himself until Deputy General Cheng Faxiang arrived and the enemy drew off.

曾國籓疏言義方膽識過人，部署迅速，詔超擢參將，加副將銜。 Zeng Guofan praised his nerve and quick dispositions; the court jumped him to colonel with brevet brigade-general rank.

二年，要擊都昌敗賊，毀其舟，尋解青陽圍，以總兵記名，賜號壯勇巴圖魯。 In year two he ambushed rebels at Duchang and burned their fleet, then broke the siege of Qingyang; he was marked for regional commander and named Zhuangyong Baturu.
