何進滔，靈武人也。 He Jintao was a native of Lingwu.

以進滔之貴，贈左散騎常侍。 When Jintao rose to prominence, Mo was posthumously made Left Regular Attendant-in-Ordinary.

進滔客寄於魏，委質軍門，事節度使田弘正。 Jintao had come to Wei as a guest and entered military service under the military governor Tian Hongzheng.

弘正奉詔討鄆州，破李師道，時進滔為衙內都知兵馬使，以功授兼侍御史。 When Hongzheng campaigned against Yan at the court's order and defeated Li Shidao, Jintao was commissioner of military affairs within the yamen and was made concurrent Attending Censor for his service.

太和三年，軍眾害史憲誠，連聲而呼曰：「得衙內都知兵馬使何端公知留後，即三軍安矣。」 In Taihe 3 (829) the troops killed Shi Xiancheng and shouted as one, "If Lord He Duangong, commissioner of military affairs within the yamen, becomes acting regent, the whole army will be secure."

朝廷因授進滔左散騎常侍、魏博等州節度觀察處置等使。 The court thereupon appointed Jintao Left Regular Attendant-in-Ordinary and military governor of Wei-Bo and associated prefectures.

變易主帥，有同兒戲，如史憲誠、何進滔、韓君雄、樂彥禎，皆為其所立。 Replacing commanders was child's play to them. Shi Xiancheng, He Jintao, Han Junxiong, and Le Yanzhen had all been installed by the guard.
