永山，袁氏，漢軍正白旗人，黑龍江駐防，吉林將軍富明阿子，黑龍江將軍壽山弟。 Yong Shan, of the Yuan clan, was a Han Bannerman of the Plain White Banner, stationed in the Heilongjiang garrison; he was the son of Jilin General Fuming'a and the younger brother of Heilongjiang General Shoushan.

既克龍灣，乘勝渡草河，規鳳凰，依克唐阿策襲其城，檄永山為軍鋒，偕壽山分率馬步隊深入攻之。 After taking Longwan they pressed the advantage across the Cao River toward Fengcheng; Yiketang'a planned a surprise on the city and named Yong Shan the vanguard, while he and Shoushan each led mixed cavalry and infantry columns in a deep strike.

壽山，字眉峰，袁氏，漢軍正白旗人，黑龍江駐防，吉林將軍富明阿子。 Shoushan, styled Meifeng, of the Yuan clan, was a Plain White Bannerman garrisoned in Heilongjiang and son of Fuming'a, governor-general of Jilin.

敵援至，永山歿於陣，壽山被重創。 When enemy reinforcements arrived Yongshan fell in battle and Shoushan was badly wounded.

官軍既克海城，壽山領七十騎詣遼南诇敵勢，遇之湯岡子，搏戰，槍彈入右腹，貫左臀出，戰愈猛，敵稍卻，馳還壁，血縷縷滿衣袴。 After the army recovered Haicheng, Shoushan led seventy horsemen to scout the enemy in southern Liaoning; at Tangangzi they fought; a bullet entered his right side and passed out his left hip; he fought all the harder; the enemy fell back slightly; he rode back to camp with blood soaking his clothes.

新軍成，而恩澤卒於任，朝命代之。 When the new army was ready Enze died in office and the court ordered Shoushan to succeed him.

壽山曰：「敵偪我都，我假敵道，如大義何！」 Shoushan said: "The enemy threatens our territory; if we let the enemy march through, what becomes of duty!"

壽山亟下令軍中曰：「保鐵路，護難民，全睦誼，違者殺無赦！」 Shoushan urgently ordered the army: "Protect the railway, shelter refugees, preserve good relations—violators shall be executed without mercy!"

壽山猶強為容忍也，慎導俄民出境，籍錄其財物備還，然俄軍不為止，入寇愛琿及黑河屯，華人被迫赴水者，屍蔽江下。 Shoushan still forced forbearance, carefully escorting Russian civilians out and recording their goods for return, yet the Russians did not stop; they invaded Aihui and Heihe Tun; Chinese driven into the river left the water choked with corpses downstream.

三姓、呼倫貝爾又紛紛告警，壽山亟電吉林將軍長順會攻哈爾濱，然猶囑其語俄總監工，謂若罷兵，願以全家質。 Sanxing and Hulunbuir also sent alarms; Shoushan wired Jilin Governor Chang Shun to attack Harbin jointly, yet still told the Russian chief engineer that if they halted he would pledge his whole family.

二十六年，俄將固畢乃脫爾來假道，壽山令愛琿戒備。 In 1900 the Russian general Gubinadel came asking passage; Shoushan ordered Aihui to stand on guard.

壽山聞之，亟令鳳翔回援，弗及。 When Shoushan heard, he urgently ordered Fengxiang back, but too late.

黑龍江行軍故無棚帳，戰罷露宿，眾苦寒，以是軍有怨聲，鳳翔慮譁潰，復以地勢平衍難扼守，乃請壽山結陣徐退，抵內興安嶺軍焉，去兜溝子又百六十里。 The Heilongjiang troops had no tents and slept in the open after battle; the cold bred discontent; Fengxiang feared mutiny; the ground was too open to hold; he asked Shoushan to withdraw in order to the Inner Xing'an camp, another hundred sixty li beyond Dougouzi.

俄兵之侵龍江也，乘隙以進，唯壽山拒之：固知必不能敵，誓以一死報耳。 When the Russians invaded the Amur country they pressed through every gap; only Shoushan stood against them—knowing he could not win, yet sworn to repay his duty with his life.
