黃忠浩楊讓梨等志銳，字公穎，他塔拉氏，世居扎庫木，隸滿洲正紅旗，陝甘總督裕泰孫。 Huang Zhonghao, Yang Rangli, and the others are treated below. Zhi Rui, styled Gongying, belonged to the Tatara clan and had lived for generations at Zhakumu. He was enrolled in the Manchu Plain Red Banner and was a grandson of Yu Tai, governor-general of Shaanxi and Gansu.

黃忠浩，字澤生，湖南黔陽人。 Huang Zhonghao, styled Zesheng, was from Qianyang in Hunan.

起忠浩率所部援桂，直搗梅寨，用少擊眾，寇大創，降敕褒嘉。 Zhonghao was recalled to lead his men into Guangxi, struck Meizhai directly, defeated a larger force with fewer troops, and received an edict of commendation.

忠浩乃短衣芒蹻，徒步深入。 Zhonghao put on plain clothes and straw sandals and went in on foot.

會天酷暑，鬱為瘴癘，兵士死相繼，忠浩亦遘膨疾，然治軍勤如故，寇卒不敢近。 The heat was fierce and miasma spread; soldiers died in succession. Zhonghao fell ill with swelling disease but drilled his men as diligently as ever, and the bandits dared not approach.

是時岑春煊駐桂林，檄與議軍事，奏署右江鎮。 Cen Chunxuan was then at Guilin; he summoned Zhonghao to discuss strategy and memorialized him as acting commander of the Right River.

三年，京師開全國教育會，忠浩與焉。 In 1911 a national education conference met in Beijing; Zhonghao attended.

忠浩方晨謁，隨誠格出，撫諭至再，勢洶洶不可遏，要誠格為都督。 Zhonghao was on a morning call and went out with Chengge, reasoning with the mob again and again, but the crowd could not be restrained and demanded that Chengge become military governor.

忠浩猶留署，火起，護弁強之出，及門，遇亂兵，被執，脅降不從，劫之走，刃傷臂及股，至小吳門城樓，遂遇害。 Zhonghao remained at headquarters. When fire broke out his guards forced him out. At the gate he was seized by rebel troops, refused to surrender, was dragged away with wounds to his arm and thigh, and was killed at the Xiaowumen gate tower.

繼忠浩死者有楊讓梨。 Among those who died after Zhonghao was Yang Rangli.

既，還長沙，隸忠浩麾下。 He later returned to Changsha and served under Zhonghao.

明年，武漢事起，忠浩電調援長沙。 The following year, when rebellion broke out at Wuhan, Zhonghao telegraphed for him to reinforce Changsha.
