嘉慶元年，率兵赴南陽、襄陽剿教匪，偕恆瑞迭敗姚之富、劉之協於雙溝、張家集。 In Jiaqing's first year he led troops to Nanyang and Xiangyang against the White Lotus rebels and, with Heng Rui, repeatedly defeated Yao Zhifu and Liu Zhixie at Shuanggou and Zhangjiaji.

之富竄鍾祥，合劉起榮、張富國等眾五六萬，偕永保等冒雨攻克之，晉太子太保。 Zhifu fled to Zhongxiang, where he joined Liu Qirong, Zhang Fuguo, and others in a force of fifty or sixty thousand; Qing Cheng and Yongbao took the town in a rainy assault and he was promoted to grand guardian of the heir apparent.

未幾，之富竄渡漢江，降二品頂戴，暫留提督任。 Before long Zhifu crossed the Han again; Qing Cheng was reduced to second-rank insignia but kept his provincial command for the time being.
