七十五，瓜爾佳氏，滿洲正黃旗人。 Qishiwu, of the Guwalgiya clan, was a Manchu of the Plain Yellow Banner.

其冬，王三槐回竄四川，追擊於達州崖峰尖，傷右臂； That winter Wang Sanhuai doubled back into Sichuan; Qishiwu pursued him to Yafengjian in Dazhou and was wounded in the right arm;

時賊聚川北，而東路久無軍報，適侍郎廣興疏言七十五駐兵夔州，仁宗疑其逗留，下經略察狀，七十五方以攻麂子坪受重傷，額勒登保為疏辯，得白。 Rebels were massing in northern Sichuan while the eastern front had gone silent; Vice Minister Guangxing reported that Qishiwu was lingering at Kuizhou; the Renzong Emperor ordered an inquiry; Qishiwu had in fact been badly wounded assaulting Jiziping; Eledengbao defended him in a memorial, and he was cleared.

冉天元擁眾渡嘉陵江，重慶戒嚴，魁倫檄令回守，病不能軍，遣李紹祖率兵赴川西，自就醫順慶。 Ran Tianyuan crossed the Jialing with a large force and Chongqing went on alert; Kuilun ordered Qishiwu back to defend, but he was too ill to take the field; he sent Li Shaozu west with the troops while he went to Shunqing to recover.

賊勢趨重川境，德楞泰、勒保方進剿，七十五分擊之。 Rebel pressure mounted in Sichuan as Delengtai and Lebao advanced; Qishiwu struck them on a separate front.

至冬，諸賊相繼窺漢江，德楞泰議擊之南岸，而以七十五出廣元三家壩攻其西北。 By winter the rebels were probing the Han again; Delengtai proposed hitting them on the south bank while Qishiwu marched from Sanjiaba at Guangyuan against their northwest flank.

七十五不聽調，曰：「兵深入，將逼賊入陝，非計也。」 Qishiwu refused the order, saying, "If we push too deep we will only drive the rebels into Shaanxi; that is no plan at all."

五月，賊分竄陝、楚，七十五追冉天士至平利大渝河，間道據後山，偪其出隘，伏起邀擊，擒斬二千餘，特詔嘉賚。 In the fifth month the rebels scattered into Shaanxi and Hubei; Qishiwu chased Ran Tianshi to Dayu River in Pingli, seized the heights by a side path, forced them from the pass, sprang an ambush, and killed or captured more than two thousand; the throne issued a special commendation.

七十五與勒保不和，追賊入山，餉半載不至，兵飢疲，就糧太平，六日，賊已渡嘉陵江上游，直趨階州，亟偕慶成馳擊。 At odds with Lebao, Qishiwu pursued the rebels into the mountains; for half a year no supplies arrived and his men starved; he went to Taiping for grain; on the sixth day the rebels had crossed the upper Jialing and raced toward Jiezhou; he hurried off with Qing Cheng to intercept them.
