是年冬，陝甘總督楊岳斌奏調凝學赴甘肅，行次樊城，會霆軍譁變。 That winter Governor-general Yang Yuebin of Shaanxi and Gansu requested Ningxue's transfer to Gansu; at Fancheng he ran into the mutiny of the Ting Corps.

凝學所部亦以欠餉不靖，請於巡撫鄭敦謹，借款資遣湘左八營，留忠義營於湖北，自請回籍養病。 His own troops were restless for lack of pay; he borrowed from Governor Zheng Dunjin to pay off and dismiss the eight Xiangzuo battalions, left the Loyalty Battalion in Hubei, and asked to go home to recover his health.

至西安，巡撫劉蓉奏請凝學屯涇州，兼顧關隴。 At Xi'an, Governor Liu Rong asked that Ningxue garrison Jingzhou and cover the Guanlong region.

凝學潰圍出，屯平涼，轉戰而前，至省城，署蘭州道。 Ningxue broke out, encamped at Pingliang, fought his way forward to the provincial capital, and served as acting intendant of Lanzhou.

六年八月，回匪犯蘭州，守城兵僅凝學所部千餘人，登陴固守，屢出奇兵焚賊壘，賊尋退，以按察使記名。 In the eighth month of 1867 Muslim rebels attacked Lanzhou; only a little over a thousand of Ningxue's men held the walls; he mounted a stubborn defense, repeatedly sallied to burn enemy camps, drove them off, and was placed on the list for provincial surveillance commissioner.
