粵匪汪海洋犯閩，陷武平、永平，李世賢踞漳州、龍巖與之合，旁郡縣多沒於賊。 The Taiping rebel Wang Haiyang invaded Fujian, seized Wuping and Yongping, and Li Shixian held Zhangzhou and Longyan in league with him; many neighboring districts fell to the rebels.

時漳州亦下，李世賢西遁，遇國器於塔下，縱兵擊之，降其眾二萬人。 By then Zhangzhou had also fallen; Li Shixian fled west, met Guoqi below the pagoda, was attacked at full strength, and twenty thousand of his men surrendered.
