粵匪汪海洋由福建竄廣東大埔，遣副將方耀擊走之。 When the rebel Wang Haiyang raided from Fujian into Dabu, Guangdong, Rui Lin sent Deputy Commander Fang Yao to drive him back.

時巡撫蔣益澧號知兵，瑞麟部將方耀、鄭紹忠皆能戰，先後破斬五坑客匪，曹沖、赤溪及新安、東莞諸匪，潮州、瓊州洋盜、土匪。 Governor Jiang Yili was reputed as a capable commander, and Rui Lin's generals Fang Yao and Zheng Shaozhong were skilled fighters. Together they crushed the Wukeng Hakka bandits, outlaws in Caochong, Chixi, Xin'an, and Dongguan, and pirates and bandits in Chaozhou and Qiongzhou.
