雷正綰陶茂林曹克忠胡中和何勝必蕭慶高楊復東 Lei Zhengwan, Tao Maolin, Cao Kezhong, Hu Zhonghe, He Shengbi, Xiao Qinggao, Yang Fudong

雷正綰，字偉堂，四川中江人。 Lei Zhengwan, whose style was Weitang, came from Zhongjiang in Sichuan.

由把總從軍湖北，積功至游擊，賜號直勇巴圖魯。 He entered service as a platoon officer in Hubei, won promotion through merit to colonel, and was given the honorific Zhiyong Baturu.

從多隆阿援陝西，詔正綰先赴本任，未至，擢陝西提督，幫辦軍務，駐西安。 When he followed Duo Longa to relieve Shaanxi, the court ordered Zhengwan to proceed to his post ahead of the main force. Before he arrived he was promoted to Shaanxi provincial military commissioner, assigned to assist in military affairs, and stationed at Xi'an.

二年，多隆阿既克東路，令正綰規三原，屢破賊。 In the second year, once Duo Longa had secured the eastern route, he ordered Zhengwan to advance against Sanyuan, and Zhengwan defeated the rebels again and again.

會多隆阿卒於軍，都興阿繼督師甘肅，正綰仍奉命為副。 When Duo Longa died in the field, Duxing'a succeeded him as commander in Gansu, and Zhengwan continued to serve as his deputy.

於是固原踞賊悉竄龍山鎮，追擊敗之。 The rebels holding Guyuan thereupon all fled to Longshan Town, where Zhengwan pursued and defeated them.

正綰疾趨蓮花城，欲襲其巢穴，遇伏，受矛傷，部下亡千餘人，裹創攻蓮花城，克之，詔嘉其勇。 Zhengwan rushed to Lianhua City to strike their stronghold, walked into an ambush, and was wounded by a spear; more than a thousand of his men perished. He bound his wounds, stormed Lianhua City, and took it, and the court commended his valor.

正綰自劾，褫勇號、黃馬褂，黜幫辦，歸總督楊岳斌節制。 Zhengwan submitted a memorial of self-accusation. His brave title and yellow jacket were stripped, his post as assistant commander was removed, and he was placed under Governor-General Yang Yuebin.

正綰弟總兵雷恆及副將李高啟等以主將失職，煽亂，犯涇州，正綰不能制止，憤欲自裁。 Zhengwan's younger brother, brigade general Lei Heng, together with deputy generals Li Gaoqi and others, citing their commander's failure of duty, incited mutiny and attacked Jingzhou. Zhengwan could not restrain them and in despair wished to kill himself.

命巡撫趙長齡會楊岳斌按訊，正綰縛送雷恆等置之法。 The court ordered Governor Zhao Changling to join Yang Yuebin in investigating the affair; Zhengwan bound Lei Heng and the others and handed them over for punishment.
