十月，李續賓三河軍覆，官文檄凝學間道遏剿。 In the tenth month, when Li Xubin's army was destroyed at Sanhe, Guanwen ordered Ningxue to move by a side route and block the enemy.

賊退太湖、潛山，凝學駐防荊橋。 The rebels fell back toward Taihu and Qianshan; Ningxue garrisoned Jingqiao.

十二月，陳玉成大舉來援，凝學移軍龍家涼亭，與鮑超小池驛之軍為犄角，留四營遏太湖東門，城賊出，擊退之。 In the twelfth month Chen Yucheng marched up in force; Ningxue shifted to Longjialiangting to support Bao Chao at Xiaochi Post, left four battalions to hold Taihu's east gate, and beat back a sortie from the city.

十年正月，鮑營被圍急，凝學進援，甫拔營，賊大隊來抄，凝學揮軍截擊，多隆阿率馬隊應之，戰竟日，擒斬二千餘。 In the first month of 1860 Bao's camp was hard pressed; Ningxue marched to relieve him; as he was breaking camp a large enemy column tried to cut him off; Ningxue turned to intercept, Duolong'a brought up cavalry, and after a full day's fighting they killed or captured more than two thousand.

十一年，陳玉成復犯湖北，凝學回援武昌縣，敗賊赤壁山下，復其城。 In 1861 Chen Yucheng invaded Hubei again; Ningxue hurried back to Wuchang County, routed the enemy below Red Cliff Hill, and recovered the city.

會總兵成大吉等攻黃州數月不下，詔降賊目劉維楨，复蘄州，選出眾五百人為忠義營，使維楨詐稱援軍，誘城賊出，擊之，遂克黃州，以道員記名，加布政使銜。 Brigadier Cheng Daji had besieged Huangzhou for months without success; the court accepted the defection of rebel leader Liu Weizhen; Qizhou was recovered; Ningxue formed a Loyalty Battalion of five hundred picked men and had Weizhen pose as reinforcements to draw the garrison out; Huangzhou then fell; he was entered on the list for circuit commissioner and granted the brevet rank of provincial administration commissioner.

苗沛霖叛，陷壽州，凝學進屯六安，克霍丘，增募水陸軍。 When Miao Peilin rebelled and took Shouzhou, Ningxue advanced to Lu'an, took Huoqiu, and raised additional land and river troops.

二年，粵匪李世賢北竄，凝學移軍舒城，擊敗之，又追敗之六安，賊引去。 In 1863 the Guangdong rebel Li Shixian broke north; Ningxue moved to Shucheng, beat him off, pursued him to Lu'an and defeated him again, and the enemy withdrew.

苗沛霖复圍壽州，凝學回援，破賊於牛尾岡。 When Miao Peilin besieged Shouzhou again, Ningxue marched back and routed the enemy at Niuyigang.

壽州尋陷，凝學坐救援不力，褫布政使銜，仍駐防潁州。 Shouzhou soon fell; Ningxue was blamed for failing to relieve it, stripped of his brevet provincial administration commissioner rank, and remained at Yingzhou.

會僧格林沁督師剿沛霖，凝學克霍丘各圩，水師分駐三河尖、臨淮關，進破黃梁集，克潁上，收附近城各圩，斬賊黨苗呆和、苗呆花，复懷遠。 When Sengge Rinchen took command against Peilin, Ningxue cleared the stockades around Huoqiu; the fleet held Sanhejian and Linhuaiguan; he stormed Huangliangji, took Yingshang, brought in the surrounding stockades, killed Miao partisans Miao Daihe and Miao Daihua, and recovered Huaiyuan.

凝學屯英山，遏賊金家鋪，敗之。 Ningxue held Yingshan, blocked the enemy at Jinjiapu, and routed them.

賊復自麻城犯霍山，凝學退石家嘴，與按察使英翰相犄角，伺賊過狙擊，殪千餘人，拔出難民數千。 The enemy struck Huoshan again from Macheng; Ningxue fell back to Shijiazui and, in concert with Provincial Surveillance Commissioner Ying Han, ambushed them as they passed, killing more than a thousand and rescuing several thousand civilians.

賊复竄安徽，凝學躡追，沿途襲擊，繞出賊前，遏之霍山長嶺庵。 The rebels fled back into Anhui; Ningxue pursued hard, harried them along the way, got ahead of them, and blocked them at Changling'an in Huoshan.
