十八年，從那彥成討滑縣教匪，力戰，數破賊，克司寨，殲首逆李文成，克滑縣，執賊渠，予雲騎尉世職。 In the eighteenth year (1813) he followed Na Yancheng against the Huaxian sect rebels, fought fiercely and repeatedly defeated them, captured Sizhai, destroyed the chief rebel Li Wencheng, took Huaxian, seized rebel leaders, and was granted the hereditary rank of Cloud Cavalry Captain.

那彥成力袪積弊，善矣，而操切肇釁，未竟厥功。 Na Yancheng worked hard to remove accumulated abuses, which was admirable, but his harsh precipitancy provoked new troubles and he did not finish what he had begun.
