瑞昌杰純錫齡阿 Rui Chang; Jie Chun; Xi Ling'a

十月，賊陷富陽、餘杭，复撲杭州，瑞昌親督副都統傑純、副將吳再升擊走之。 In the tenth month the rebels took Fuyang and Yuhang and struck at Hangzhou again. Rui Chang personally directed Deputy Commander Jie Chun and Brigadier Wu Zaisheng in driving them back.

傑純，布庫魯氏，蒙古正白旗人，杭州駐防。 Jie Chun, of the Bukuru clan, was a Mongol of the Plain White Banner stationed at Hangzhou.

杭州初破，瑞昌欲自剄，傑純與副都統來存言賊以偏師疾至，未有後繼，猶可力保駐防城以待外援，瑞昌從之，乃登陴守禦。 When Hangzhou first fell, Rui Chang meant to take his own life. Jie Chun and Deputy Commander Laicun urged that the rebels had arrived with only a vanguard and no reserves, and that the garrison quarter could still be held until relief came. Rui Chang agreed and took to the ramparts.

傑純當武林門，日與賊戰，長子前鋒校納蘇鏗陣亡，不之顧，殮其屍，不哭，曰：「汝先得所歸矣！」 Jie Chun held Wulin Gate and fought the rebels day after day. His eldest son, vanguard captain Nasu Keng, was killed in action. He gave no sign of grief, laid out the body, and said without weeping, "You have found your rest before me!"

是年冬，賊复犯杭州，迎剿於觀音橋，手刃數賊，率西湖水勇截擊，斬馘甚眾，又連破撲城之賊，追至留下，進克餘杭，賜號額騰伊巴圖魯。 That winter the rebels struck at Hangzhou again. He met them at Guanyin Bridge, killed several with his own blade, and led West Lake boatmen in an ambush that took many heads. He broke repeated assaults on the walls, pursued the enemy to Liuxia, and recaptured Yuhang. The throne granted him the honorific title Eteng Ilbatu.

十一年，城再陷，傑純戰一晝夜，所部傷亡略盡，遣次子出避，以存宗祀，闔門自焚，獨策馬入賊陣，死之。 In 1861 the city fell again. Jie Chun fought for a day and a night until his command was nearly destroyed. He sent his second son away to preserve the family line, his household set themselves ablaze, and he alone rode into the rebel ranks and was killed.

後復加恩入祀京師昭忠祠，諡果毅。 Later he was further honored with a place in the Zhaozhong Memorial Hall in Beijing and the posthumous name Resolute.

祁宿藻孤忠盡瘁，傑純智勇能軍，並一時傑出之才。 Qi Suzao gave his life in solitary devotion to the throne. Jie Chun was wise, brave, and skilled in command. Both were outstanding men of their time.
