唐友耕，雲南大關廳人。 Tang Yougeng came from Daguan Subprefecture in Yunnan.

十年，戰峨眉索橋，受傷，破賊雙福場，進平天全茅山賊壘，擢都司，賜號額勒莫克依巴圖魯。 In the tenth year he fought at Suoqiao in Emei, was wounded, routed rebels at Shuangfuchang, advanced to pacify the bandit fort at Maoshan in Tianquan, was promoted to battalion commander, and was granted the title Elemokeyi Baturu.

駱秉章督師至蜀，檄友耕會諸軍援綿州，令自石橋鋪進攻，友耕觀望不前，被劾，褫職留營。 When Luo Bingzhang came to Sichuan as commander he ordered Yougeng to join the relief of Mianzhou and advance from Shiqiaopu. Yougeng hung back and would not move forward, was impeached, stripped of office, but kept with the army.

既而會援眉州，友耕軍先至，戰比有功，圍解，復原官。 He later joined the relief of Meizhou. Yougeng's troops arrived first and fought creditably; the siege was lifted and his former rank was restored.

三月，達開圍涪州，友耕馳援，解其圍，授四川重慶鎮總兵。 In the third month Dakai besieged Fuzhou. Yougeng galloped to the rescue, lifted the siege, and was appointed brigade general of Chongqing Garrison in Sichuan.

是年冬，達開屯敘州雙龍場，分黨屯橫江，友耕攻破江岸賊壘。 That winter Dakai encamped at Shuanglongchang in Xuzhou and posted followers at Hengjiang. Yougeng stormed the rebel forts along the riverbank.

二年春，賊由橫江竄新灘溪，與屏山隔一水，友耕慮賊乘間偷渡，乃濟江設伏，誘賊深入，敗之。 In the spring of the second year the rebels broke from Hengjiang toward Xintanxi, with only a stream between them and Pingshan. Fearing a surprise crossing, Yougeng crossed the river, laid an ambush, drew the enemy in deep, and routed them.

友耕擢雲南提督，留屯川南。 Yougeng was promoted to Yunnan provincial military commissioner and remained to garrison southern Sichuan.

四年，丁母憂，詔改署提督，友耕請終制，許之。 In the fourth year, when his mother died, an edict appointed him acting commissioner instead; Yougeng asked to observe the full mourning period and was allowed.
