A senior minister recommended Dang, who had long lived in Jiangxi and knew its customs, as a man whose talent suited government affairs. An edict specially appointed him surveillance commissioner of Jiangxi, together with Participant in Government Huonijichi of the Jiangxi Branch Secretariat and Minister of War Huang Zhao, to pacify the prefectures of Jiangxi with discretionary authority.
