粵匪方由湖南北竄，漢陽、武昌相繼陷，巡撫張亮基擢署總督，以鐸暫代之，命赴岳州督防。 The Taiping rebels were then fleeing north through Hunan; Hanyang and Wuchang fell in succession; Governor Zhang Liangji was promoted to act as governor-general, and Duo temporarily replaced him and was ordered to go to Yuezhou to supervise defense.

巡撫徐之銘傾險，挾回自重，總督張亮基為所齮齕去。 Governor Xu Zhiming was treacherous and relied on the Hui for his own power; Governor-General Zhang Liangji was undermined by him and driven away.

亮基亦被命赴滇督辦軍務。 Liangji was also ordered to go to Yunnan to supervise military affairs.

鐸、亮基先後取道四川，與駱秉章籌商，冀資其兵力以規進取。 Duo and Liangji successively took the route through Sichuan and consulted with Luo Bingzhang, hoping to borrow his military strength to plan an advance.

滇將林自清為亮基舊部，與回眾不協，率所部入川。 The Yunnan general Lin Ziqing was a former subordinate of Liangji; he did not get along with the Hui masses and led his troops into Sichuan.

之銘慮亮基至於己不利，嗾回眾揚言拒之，亮基益觀望。 Zhiming feared Liangji's arrival would be unfavorable to himself and instigated the Hui masses to proclaim they would reject him; Liangji grew all the more hesitant.

見撫局初定，省城稍安，屢密疏陳：「徐之銘尚能撫回，被劾各款，請俟張亮基到後會同查辦。」 Seeing that the pacification situation was initially settled and the provincial capital somewhat calm, he repeatedly submitted secret memorials: "Xu Zhiming can still pacify the Hui; the various impeachment charges, please wait until Zhang Liangji arrives to investigate jointly."

於是詔亮基移署貴州巡撫，滇事專責鐸與之銘，蓋羈縻之也。 Thereupon an edict transferred Liangji to act as governor of Guizhou; Yunnan affairs were entrusted solely to Duo and Zhiming—this was essentially a policy of conciliation.
