達武增募軍四千人，往來游擊。 Dawu enlarged his force by four thousand men and ranged the countryside in mobile operations.

三年，得才之黨梁福成合川匪蔡昌齡由漢中竄甘肅階州，達武議以剿為防，率師越境，攻克江東水、嚴家灣賊壘。 In the third year Deicai's follower Liang Fucheng united with the Sichuan bandit Cai Changling in breaking from Hanzhong into Jiezhou, Gansu. Dawu held that the best defense was to pursue and destroy them, crossed the border with his army, and captured the rebel forts at Jiangdongshui and Yanjiawan.

六年，捻匪竄陝西，左宗棠諮調會剿，令部將李輝武率三千赴陝。 In the sixth year Nian bandits raided Shaanxi. Zuo Zongtang called Dawu to join the campaign and ordered Li Huiwu to lead three thousand men into Shaanxi.

七年，破越巂倮夷於普雄，進克西昌交腳夷巢，斬級數千，諸夷悉降，賜黃馬褂，晉號博奇巴圖魯。 In the seventh year he defeated the Yi of Yuexi at Puxiong, advanced to storm the Yi nest at Jiaojiao in Xichang, slew several thousand, and all the tribes submitted. He was awarded a yellow riding jacket and advanced in title to Boqi Baturu.

達武與巡撫議增募至三萬人，分任戰守，由龍里進凱渡，截上下游賊為二，复都勻，分軍破賊永寧、威寧。 Dawu and the governor agreed to raise the force to thirty thousand men, divide attack and defense, advance from Longli toward Kaidu, split the upstream and downstream rebels, recover Duyun, and dispatch columns to defeat the rebels at Yongning and Weining.

弟康祿，從達武勦賊廣西、湖南，歷保知縣。 His younger brother Kanglu followed Dawu in campaigns against bandits in Guangxi and Hunan and was repeatedly recommended until he reached the rank of magistrate.

從至貴州，總理營務。 When Dawu went to Guizhou, Kanglu took overall charge of camp affairs.
