募水陸萬人，水軍以褚汝航、楊載福、彭玉麟領之，陸軍以塔齊布、羅澤南領之。 He raised ten thousand men for combined land and river operations: Chu Ruhang, Yang Zaifu, and Peng Yulin commanded the fleet, while Taqibu and Luo Zinan led the land forces.

而同時塔齊布大破賊湘潭，國籓營長沙高峰寺，重整軍實，人人捓揄之。 Yet at the same moment Taqibu won a crushing victory at Xiangtan. Guofan made camp at Gaofeng Temple in Changsha and set about reorganizing his forces, while men on every side mocked him.

湘潭之戰，陸師塔齊布、水師載福各兩營：以此知兵貴精不貴多。 at Xiangtan Taqibu on land and Yang Zaifu on the water each had only two battalions—this shows that armies value quality, not numbers.

上詰責提督鮑起豹，免其官，以塔齊布代之。 The emperor rebuked Provincial Commander Bao Qibao, stripped him of his post, and replaced him with Taqibu.

受印日，士民聚觀，嘆詫國籓為知人，而天子能明見萬里也。 On the day Taqibu received his seal, crowds gathered and marveled that Guofan knew how to judge men and that the emperor could see clearly across the realm.

澤南沿江東岸攻花園寇屯，塔齊布伏兵洪山，載福舟師深入寇屯，士皆露立，不避鉛丸。 Luo Zinan struck the rebel camp at Huayuan along the east bank; Taqibu lay in ambush on Hongshan; Yang Zaifu's fleet drove deep into the enemy lines, and his men stood exposed in the open, heedless of musket fire.

國籓遣胡林翼等軍還援湖北，塔齊布留攻九江，而躬至南昌撫定水師之困內湖者。 Guofan sent Hu Linyi and others back to relieve Hubei, left Taqibu to press the siege of Jiujiang, and went in person to Nanchang to steady the fleet trapped in Poyang Lake.

澤南從征江西，复弋陽，拔廣信，破義寧，而塔齊布卒於軍。 Luo Zinan campaigned in Jiangxi, retaking Yiyang, capturing Guangxin, and breaking Yining, while Taqibu died in camp.

幕客劉蓉諫曰：「公所恃者塔、羅。 His adviser Liu Rong objected: "You rely on Taqibu and Luo Zinan.

今塔將軍亡，羅又遠行，脫有急，誰堪使者？」 Taqibu is dead and Luo is marching away—if trouble comes, who will you send?"
