當英吉利兵船入內河，水師提督李增堦不能阻，勝獻策，以巨船載石沉塞海口老洲岡隘道，聚草船數百橫內河，備火攻，勝率兵臨之，英領事律勞卑悚懼聽令，事乃定。 When English warships entered the inner river the naval commander Li Zengjie could not stop them; Sheng proposed loading great ships with stone to block the Laozhougang pass at the estuary, assembling hundreds of straw boats across the inner river for a fire attack, and leading troops to press them; the English consul Napier, fearful, submitted to orders, and the crisis was resolved.
