Open chapter

時有韓效忠者，登州人，傭於復州侯氏。 At the time there was a man named Han Xiaozhong, a native of Dengzhou who had worked as a hired hand for the Hou family of Fuzhou.

流冗嘯聚其中，亡慮四五萬，咸受效忠約束。 Vagrants gathered there in bands, perhaps forty or fifty thousand strong, all under Xiaozhong's control.

效忠嚴而不擾，眾服其公允，屢抗大軍不出。 Xiaozhong ruled strictly but fairly, and his followers accepted his authority; they had repeatedly held off imperial armies without surrendering.

大澂單騎抵其巢，留宿三日，勸效忠出，效忠猶豫，意難之。 Dacheng rode alone into their stronghold, stayed three days, and urged Xiaozhong to surrender; Xiaozhong hesitated, troubled by the request.

對曰：「非敢疑公。 Xiaozhong replied: "I would not dare doubt you, sir.

大澂挺以自任，遂與效忠出，奏給五品頂戴，子七品，孫登舉有平寇功，授參將。 Dacheng pledged to take personal responsibility, and Xiaozhong came out with him; the court granted Xiaozhong a fifth-rank hat finial, his son seventh rank, and his grandson Dengju, credited with pacifying the bandits, the rank of brigade commander.
