林爽文為亂，總督常青檄普吉保會剿，五十二年，率水師渡台灣，迭破賊鹿仔港、八卦山，上嘉其奮勉。
When Lin Shuangwen rebelled, Governor-General Chang Qing summoned Pu Jibao to the joint campaign; in Qianlong 52 he crossed to Taiwan at the head of the fleet, took Lugang and Baguashan in turn, and won the emperor's praise for his zeal.
爽文見師至，退守鬥六門、大里杙。
Seeing the imperial host arrive, Shuangwen withdrew to hold Douliumen and Daliyi.
普吉保以師進，爽文攻諸羅，赴援，抵笨港，率游擊海亮等殲賊數百，毀賊莊七，得旨嘉獎，賜玉搬指、荷包、蟒袍。
Pu Jibao pressed forward; when Shuangwen struck Zhuluo, he hurried to the relief, reached Bengang, and with guerrilla commander Hailiang and others killed hundreds of rebels and destroyed seven rebel villages. An imperial commendation followed, with a jade thumb ring, purse, and python robe.
爽文竄內山，普吉保從諸將徒步陟山搜捕。
Shuangwen fled into the interior hills; Pu Jibao joined the other commanders in climbing the mountains on foot to hunt him down.
五十三年，以兵扼科仔坑口，合圍，俘爽文。
In Qianlong 53 he blocked Kezikeng Pass with his men, helped close the net, and took Shuangwen alive.
乾隆五十一年，以任滿赴部引見，至省城，聞林爽文亂起。
In Qianlong 51, as his term ended he set out for the capital for audience; at the provincial seat he learned that Lin Shuangwen had risen.
朝雄策東港與鳳山犄角，爽文所必爭，白總督常青，請兵屯東港，斷其糧道。
Chaoxiong argued that Donggang and Fengshan formed a pincer Shuangwen was bound to fight for, told Governor-General Chang Qing so, and asked for troops at Donggang to sever the rebels' grain route.
常青不能用，遣朝雄還台灣，佐海壇鎮總兵郝壯猷討爽文。
Chang Qing would not heed him and sent Chaoxiong back to Taiwan to serve under Haizhen garrison commander Hao Zhuangyou against Shuangwen.
