江寧久為賊窟，總督駐常州，軍事由將軍和春主之，而提督張國樑為幫辦，前督怡良但任運饋而已。 Nanjing had long been a rebel stronghold; the governor-general stayed at Changzhou while General He Chun directed military affairs and regional commander Zhang Guoliang assisted—former governor-general Yi Liang had handled only transport and supplies.

桂清屢疏陳方略稱旨，諭飭和春和衷商酌。 Guiqing's repeated strategy memorials pleased the throne; an edict urged He Chun to consult with him in good faith.

倉猝城陷，惟將軍瑞昌守駐防內城未下，詔促桂清、和春遣軍速援。 The city fell in sudden assault; only General Ruichang still held the inner garrison quarter; an edict urged Guiqing and He Chun to send troops at once.

張玉良回軍抵常州，和春飛檄調援大營，桂清留勿遣，復調馬得昭，亦莫之應。 Zhang Yuliang returned to Changzhou; He Chun urgently ordered him to the main camp, but Guiqing kept him back; he also summoned Ma Dezhao, who likewise would not come.

和春、張國樑退守丹陽。 He Chun and Zhang Guoliang fell back to defend Danyang.

桂清疏陳：「丹陽以上軍務，和春、張國樑主之； Guiqing wrote: "Military affairs from Danyang northward are He Chun's and Zhang Guoliang's;

部署稍定，即進規溧陽，而賊已迳犯丹陽，國樑死之，和春奔常州，桂清大驚。 Once his dispositions were set he moved on Liyang, but the rebels had already struck Danyang—Guoliang was killed, He Chun fled to Changzhou, and Guiqing was badly shaken.

桂清即疏陳軍事付和春，自駐蘇州籌餉。 Guiqing memorialized to hand military affairs to He Chun while he himself stayed at Suzhou to handle supplies.

和春退至無錫，傷殞。 He Chun retreated to Wuxi and died of his wounds.

五年，從提督和春复廬州，擢知縣。 In 1855 he served under Provincial Military Commander He Chun in the recovery of Luzhou and was promoted to district magistrate.

六年，從提督和春攻三河賊壘不下，文德請獨身持檄諭賊降，投誠者相繼至，遂克三河。 In 1856, when Provincial Military Commander He Chun's assault on the rebel fort at Sanhe stalled, Wende volunteered to go in alone with a surrender proclamation; defectors came over one after another, and Sanhe fell.
