林爽文之亂，福康安出視師，舒亮以正黃旗護軍統領為領隊大臣。 During Lin Shuangwen's rebellion Fuk'anggan took personal command in the field, and Shu Liang accompanied him as expedition commissioner while serving as colonel of the Plain Yellow Banner Guard.

至台灣，福康安軍道笨港救嘉義，令舒亮出別道分賊勢。 On reaching Taiwan, Fuk'anggan led the main force along the Bengang route to relieve Jiayi and ordered Shu Liang to move by a separate road so as to divide the rebel strength.

會福康安軍夾擊，解嘉義圍。 Coordinating with Fuk'anggan's main column in a pincer attack, he helped lift the siege of Jiayi.

福康安督舒亮等追逮，令舒亮直取東勢角，山徑峻險，將卒皆步上，殺賊二千餘。 Fuk'anggan directed Shu Liang and the others in pursuit and ordered Shu Liang to take Dongshijiao by a direct assault. The mountain paths were steep and treacherous, and officers and men alike had to climb on foot; in the fighting they killed more than two thousand rebels.

祠成，命並及在事疆吏，首福康安，次海蘭察、李侍堯、普爾普、鄂輝、徐嗣曾，而以舒亮殿焉。 When the shrines were completed, he also ordered that provincial officials who had taken part in the campaign be included: Fuk'anggan first, then Hailancha, Li Shiyao, Pulupu, E Hui, and Xu Siceng, with Shu Liang placed last in the roll of honor.

鄂輝、舒亮從福康安出師，與攀龍、朝雄皆有戰績； E Hui and Shu Liang marched under Fuk'anggan, and Panlong and Chaoxiong each won his share of battlefield credit.
