Open chapter

陸振芬，字令遠，江南華亭人。 Lu Zhenfen, courtesy name Lingyuan, came from Huating in Jiangnan.

振芬授廣東惠潮道副使，從師南征。 Zhenfen was made vice commissioner of Huichao Circuit in Guangdong and marched south with the expeditionary force.

韶州以南望風降，進規會城，既下，振芬與總兵郭虎率師赴惠州，剿撫歸善、海豐諸寨。 Everything south of Shaozhou surrendered at the first approach; after the provincial capital fell, Zhenfen and Commander Guo Hu took forces to Huizhou to subdue and win over the stockades of Guishan, Haifeng, and the rest.

振芬選精銳數百人繞出其旁擊之，獲一隊，諸寨皆懼。 Zhenfen picked several hundred crack troops to swing around and hit them from the flank, took one whole company prisoner, and every stockade was shaken.

振芬與虎駐五坡驛，他將自羊氾嶺會師合攻之，遂克其城。 Zhenfen and Hu camped at Wupo Post while other commanders converged from Yangfan Ridge for a joint attack, and the city was finally taken.

振芬與屬吏約，期五十日清庶獄，囹圄為空。 Zhenfen pledged to his staff that they would clear the backlog of ordinary cases within fifty days, and the prisons were emptied.

振芬牒大吏策弭變，不應。 Zhenfen sent the senior officials a memorial outlining how to head off the revolt, but they did not act on it.

振芬諭以大義，不從，使告變。 Zhenfen appealed to him on grounds of loyalty, but Shangjiu refused to listen, and Zhenfen sent word of the uprising.

秋，固山兵至，振芬約為內應，引外兵入，誅尚久。 That autumn the banner garrison troops arrived; Zhenfen had arranged an inside response, admitted the relief force, and Shangjiu was put to death.

而述、振芬、振姬、天鑑皆有才略，根本尤在廉勤。 Ershu, Zhenfen, Zhenji, and Tianjian all had talent and strategic ability; above all they were rooted in integrity and diligence.
