時江南兵起且五年，大臣有薦當世居江西，習知江西民俗，且其才可任政事者，詔特授江西肅政廉訪使，偕江西行省參政火你赤、兵部尚書黃昭，招捕江西諸郡，便宜行事。 Warfare in the Jiangnan had then been raging for nearly five years. A senior minister recommended Dang, who had long lived in Jiangxi and knew its customs, as a man whose talent suited government affairs. An edict specially appointed him surveillance commissioner of Jiangxi, together with Participant in Government Huonijichi of the Jiangxi Branch Secretariat and Minister of War Huang Zhao, to pacify the prefectures of Jiangxi with discretionary authority.

十六年，調檢校章迪率本部兵，與黃昭夾攻撫州，勦殺首寇胡志學，進兵復崇仁、宜黃。 In 1356 he ordered revising official Zhang Di to lead his troops in a pincer attack on Fuzhou with Huang Zhao, exterminated the chief rebel Hu Zhixue, and advanced to recover Chongren and Yihuang.

因忌當屢捷，功在己上，又以為南人不宜緫兵，則搆為飛語，謂當與黃昭皆與寇通。 Resenting Dang's repeated victories and his own lesser merit, and believing that southerners ought not command troops, he fabricated slanderous rumors claiming that Dang and Huang Zhao were both in league with the rebels.

有旨解二人兵柄，除當撫州路緫管，昭臨江路緫管，並供億平章火你赤軍。 An edict stripped them of military command. Dang was appointed general administrator of Fuzhou circuit and Zhao of Linjiang circuit, and both were ordered to supply Pingzhang Huonijichi's army.

尋有旨當與昭皆罷緫管，除名。 Soon an edict removed Dang and Zhao from their posts as general administrators and struck their names from the rolls.

十八年，火你赤自瑞州還龍興，當、昭皆隨軍不敢去。 In 1358 Huonijichi returned from Ruizhou to Longxing. Dang and Zhao both followed the army and dared not leave.

先是，當與昭平賊功狀，自廣東由海道未達京師，而朶歹、火你赤等公牘乃先至，故朝廷責當、昭，皆左遷。 Earlier, Dang and Zhao's reports on pacifying the rebels, sent from Guangdong by sea, had not reached the capital, while the memorials of Duodai, Huonijichi, and others arrived first. The court therefore blamed Dang and Zhao and demoted them both.

及得當、昭功狀，乃始知其誣，詔拜當中奉大夫、江西行省參知政事，昭湖廣行省參知政事。 When Dang and Zhao's merit reports finally arrived, the court learned they had been slandered. An edict appointed Dang Grand Master of the Palace Attendance and participant in government of the Jiangxi Branch Secretariat, and Zhao participant in government of the Huguang Branch Secretariat.
