劉培元，湖南長沙人。 Liu Peiyuan was from Changsha in Hunan.

戰田家鎮，培元率十舟窮追四十餘裡，毀賊船，擢都司。 At Tianjiazhen he led ten boats in a chase of more than forty li, destroyed rebel shipping, and was raised to coordinator.

賊潛來襲，培元出奇兵擊之，斬級八百。 Rebels raided by night; Peiyuan ambushed them and took eight hundred heads.

培元開壁大戰，斬級千計，擢游擊。 Peiyuan sallied for a pitched battle and took more than a thousand heads, earning promotion to mobile brigade commander.

八年，水陸合攻吉安，賊結大筏衝官軍浮橋，培元督師船截擊，砲傷胸，裹創血戰，盡毀其筏。 In year eight at Ji'an rebels rammed the pontoon with great rafts; Peiyuan intercepted by boat, took a chest wound, bound it, and fought until every raft was destroyed.

是年冬，軍中大疫，培元病，回籍。 That winter plague swept the army; Peiyuan fell ill and went home.

九年，石達開犯湖南，培元率千人扼桂陽，眾寡不敵，桂陽遂陷。 In year nine Shi Dakai invaded Hunan; Peiyuan held Guiyang with a thousand men but was overwhelmed and the city fell.

十一年，左宗棠進規浙江，立衢州水師，疏薦培元熟諳水陸軍事，請以署衢州鎮，募勇三千赴浙。 In year eleven Zuo Zongtang pushed into Zhejiang and formed the Quzhou fleet; he recommended Peiyuan for land-and-river command, acting Quzhou commander, and three thousand recruits for Zhejiang.

同治元年，培元率安武水陸全軍駐常山，控衢州北路，進江山，破大洲賊營。 In Tongzhi year one Peiyuan's Anwu army held Changshan, blocked Quzhou's north road, advanced on Jiangshan, and smashed the Dazhou camp.

賊竄龍遊，會攻之，賊酋李侍賢大股來援，培元與諸軍合擊，賊敗走。 Rebels slipped to Longyou; Li Shixian marched up in force; Peiyuan and allied columns beat them back.

二年，克湯溪、龍遊，斃賊酋陳廷秀，加提督銜，賜號銳勇巴圖魯。 In year two Tangxi and Longyou fell, rebel chief Chen Tingxiu was killed, and he received brevet provincial commander rank and the title Ruiyong Baturu.
