五十二年正月，台灣民林爽文為亂，命元枚馳驛往泉州，署福建陸路提督，駐蚶江策應。 In the first month of Qianlong 52 (1787) Lin Shuangwen rebelled in Taiwan; Yuanmei was rushed to Quanzhou as acting Fujian land-forces commander, encamping at Hanjiang to support the campaign.

水師提督黃仕簡率兵討爽文，坐逗留奪官，以命元枚，並賜孔雀翎，授參贊，趣率兵渡鹿仔港，會總督常青進討。 Naval commander Huang Shijian had been dismissed for delay against Shuangwen; Yuanmei replaced him, received the peacock feather and a staff role, and was urged to cross at Lugang and join governor-general Chang Qing.
