咸豐八年，從多隆阿援安徽石牌、潛山、太湖、桐城，諸戰皆功最，累擢副將，以總兵記名。 In the eighth year of Xianfeng (1858) he followed Duo Longa to relieve Anhui at Shipai, Qianshan, Taihu, and Tongcheng, distinguishing himself in every engagement. He was promoted repeatedly to deputy general and placed on the rolls as brigade general.

從多隆阿援陝西，詔正綰先赴本任，未至，擢陝西提督，幫辦軍務，駐西安。 When he followed Duo Longa to relieve Shaanxi, the court ordered Zhengwan to proceed to his post ahead of the main force. Before he arrived he was promoted to Shaanxi provincial military commissioner, assigned to assist in military affairs, and stationed at Xi'an.

二年，多隆阿既克東路，令正綰規三原，屢破賊。 In the second year, once Duo Longa had secured the eastern route, he ordered Zhengwan to advance against Sanyuan, and Zhengwan defeated the rebels again and again.

會多隆阿卒於軍，都興阿繼督師甘肅，正綰仍奉命為副。 When Duo Longa died in the field, Duxing'a succeeded him as commander in Gansu, and Zhengwan continued to serve as his deputy.

十年，從多隆阿破賊於桐城掛車河，擢副將。 In the tenth year he followed Duo Longa in defeating rebels at Guache River near Tongcheng and was promoted to deputy general.

遂從多隆阿西征，破賊於武關。 He then followed Duo Longa on the western expedition and defeated rebels at Wuguan.

初投效湘軍，嗣從多隆阿，積功至都司。 He first enlisted with the Xiang Army, later served under Duo Longa, and rose through merit to battalion commander.

後從多隆阿西征，武關、同州諸戰皆從。 Later he followed Duo Longa on the western expedition and fought at Wuguan, Tongzhou, and other engagements.

論曰：雷正綰、陶茂林、曹克忠皆多隆阿部下戰將。 The appraisal states: Lei Zhengwan, Tao Maolin, and Cao Kezhong were all fighting generals who had served under Duo Longa.

多隆阿歿後，甘肅軍事實倚三人，以餉匱兵變，遂難成功。 After Duo Longa's death the military situation in Gansu in fact rested on these three men, yet with pay short and armies mutinying, victory eluded them.

九年，會攻太湖，賊圍鮑超於小池驛，多隆阿不能救，令訓方移軍近鮑營為接應。 In 1859, during the joint assault on Taihu, rebels besieged Bao Chao at Xiaochi Post; Duolong'a could not relieve him and ordered Xunfang to move up near Bao's camp as support.

會多隆阿、鮑超擊賊於宿松花亭子，破之。 Duolong'a and Bao Chao met the enemy at Huatingzi in Susong and routed them.

十年正月，鮑營被圍急，凝學進援，甫拔營，賊大隊來抄，凝學揮軍截擊，多隆阿率馬隊應之，戰竟日，擒斬二千餘。 In the first month of 1860 Bao's camp was hard pressed; Ningxue marched to relieve him; as he was breaking camp a large enemy column tried to cut him off; Ningxue turned to intercept, Duolong'a brought up cavalry, and after a full day's fighting they killed or captured more than two thousand.

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.
