北人之智勇兼備者，推多隆阿。 Among northerners who combine wisdom and courage, Duolong'a stands foremost.

請飭多隆阿募北方將士，教之戰陣，擇其忠勇者，補授提、鎮、參、遊，俾綠營均成勁旅，何必更募勇丁？」 He asked that Duolong'a be ordered to recruit northern officers and soldiers, train them in battle formations, select the loyal and brave among them, and appoint them as provincial commanders, regional commanders, deputy generals, and assistant commanders, so that the Green Standard forces would all become crack troops—why recruit more braves?"

同治元年，欽差勝保被逮，多隆河代領其軍，多所裁撤，部將宋景詩复叛。 In the first year of the Tongzhi reign (1862), the imperial commissioner Sheng Bao was arrested. Duolong'a took command of his forces and carried out extensive cuts and dismissals, whereupon his subordinate Song Jingshi rebelled once again.

多隆阿到營旬日，遣歸七起，未免操之過急，窮無所歸，乘機走險。 Duolong'a had been in camp barely ten days when he sent away seven groups of men — an approach that was inevitably too harsh. Driven to desperation with nowhere to turn, they seized the moment to take to outlawry.
