會福靈安先被命廉軍事，具言宏榜諸人失守狀，應琚亦劾德成等遲留不進，於是俱逮問，而以楊寧為提督，且以應琚不勝任，召明瑞代統其軍。 At the time Fuling'an had already been ordered to investigate military affairs in detail; he reported how Hongbang and others had lost their posts. Yingju also impeached Decheng and others for delay in advancing; they were all arrested and brought up for interrogation. Yang Ning was made Regional Commander-in-Chief, and because Yingju was unfit for his post, Ming Rui was summoned to take command of the army.

明瑞至，首發其欺罔罪，謂誤木緬別為一事尤妄誕，鄂寧亦糾其掩敗為勝。 When Ming Rui arrived he first exposed his deceit, saying that treating Musuo and Burma as separate matters was especially absurd; E'ning also impeached him for masking defeat as victory.

明瑞，字筠亭，富察氏，滿洲鑲黃旗人，承恩公富文子。 Ming Rui, styled Yunting, was of the Fuca clan, a Bannerman of the Bordered Yellow Banner of the Manchus, and the son of Duke of Enfeoffment Fuwen.

乾隆二十一年，師徵阿睦爾撒納，明瑞以副都統銜授領隊大臣，有功，擢戶部侍郎，授參贊大臣，於公爵加「毅勇」字，號承恩毅勇公。 In the twenty-first year of Qianlong, when the army campaigned against Amursana, Ming Rui was appointed leading commander with the rank of Vice Commander-in-Chief. For his merit he was promoted to Vice Minister of Revenue and appointed campaign coordinator; the characters "Resolute and Brave" were added to his ducal title, and he was styled Duke of Enfeoffment, Resolute and Brave.

明瑞遣副都統觀音保往討，而帥師繼其後。 Ming Rui sent Vice Commander-in-Chief Guanyinbao to attack, while he himself led the main army in support.

烏什回二千餘出禦，明瑞與觀音保力戰破之，奪砲台七。 More than two thousand Ush Muslims came out to resist; Ming Rui and Guanyinbao fought fiercely and routed them, capturing seven batteries.

明瑞疏陳素誠狂縱激變，及參贊納世通虐回民，阻援師，副都統弁塔哈掩敗妄奏諸狀，上令尚書阿桂至軍，按誅納世通、弁塔哈。 Ming Rui memorialized that Such eng's arrogance and license had provoked the uprising, that Coordinator Nashitong had abused the Muslims and blocked relief troops, and that Vice Commander-in-Chief Biantaha had concealed defeats and filed false reports; the Emperor ordered Minister Agui to the army to investigate and execute Nashitong and Biantaha.

明瑞以兵六百餘夜攜雲梯薄其城，不克，則毀其堞，且斷汲道。 Ming Rui led more than six hundred men with scaling ladders in a night approach to the wall; when he failed to take the city, he destroyed the parapets and cut off the water supply.
