並諭其子江蘇按察使重英、寶慶知府重穀省視。 he also instructed his sons, Jiangsu Surveillance Commissioner Chongying and Baqing Prefect Chonggu, to visit and look after him.

重英初至雲南，隱以監軍自居，嗣為鄂寧所劾，命以知府從軍。 When Chongying first came to Yunnan, he quietly acted as military overseer; later impeached by E'ning, he was ordered to follow the army in the capacity of prefect.

明年，軍士患飢，緬嗛詐媾和，參贊珠魯訥遣重英往報，被執。 The next year the soldiers suffered famine; Burma used the famine to feign negotiating peace; Coordinator Zhulun'e sent Chongying to report back and he was captured.

上以重英且降緬，下其子長齡獄。 The Emperor thought Chongying was about to surrender to Burma and imprisoned his son Changling.

已，緬歸俘卒，賚貝葉書，附重英書乞罷兵，拒弗納。 Later Burma returned captive soldiers and sent a palm-leaf letter with Chongying's letter begging that troops be withdrawn; this was refused.

五十三年，緬聞暹羅受封，乃款關求貢，並還重英。 In the fifty-third year, hearing that Siam had received investiture, Burma opened the border pass to seek tribute and also returned Chongying.

重英陷緬後，獨居佛寺逾二十年，未改中國衣冠。 After Chongying fell into Burmese hands, he lived alone in a Buddhist temple for more than twenty years without changing his Chinese dress.

十一月，至宛頂，進攻木邦，賊遁，留參贊珠魯訥、按察使楊重英守之，率兵萬餘渡錫箔江攻蠻結。 In the eleventh month he reached Wanding and advanced against Mohang; the rebels fled. He left Coordinator Zhulun'e and Surveillance Commissioner Yang Chongying to hold the place, then led more than ten thousand men across the Xibo River to attack Manjie.

詔未達，三十三年正月，賊攻木邦，副都統珠魯訥師潰自戕，執重英以去。 Before the edict arrived, in the first month of the thirty-third year the rebels attacked Mohang; Vice Commander-in-Chief Zhulun'e's army collapsed and he killed himself, and Yang Chongying was seized and taken away.
