那彥成以兵不足用，乃招撫盜首黃正嵩、李崇玉，先後降者五千餘人，獎以千總外委銜及銀幣有差。 Finding his troops insufficient, Na Yancheng recruited and pacified bandit chiefs Huang Zhengsong and Li Chongyu; more than five thousand surrendered in succession and were rewarded with company-officer and platoon-leader ranks and silver in varying amounts.

既而李崇玉檻送京師，訊得與正嵩皆受四品銜守備劄，褫職戍伊衛。 Later Li Chongyu was escorted to the capital in the cangue; inquiry showed that he and Zhengsong had both received fourth-rank garrison-commander commissions—Na Yancheng was stripped of office and exiled to Ili.
