譚行義，四川三台人。 Tan Xingyi was a native of Santai in Sichuan.

河東總督田文鏡劾行義送陝西軍馬疲瘦，奪官，上令來京引見，召對稱旨，賜編刻上諭、貂皮、香珠，復原官。 Hedong Governor-General Tian Wenjing impeached him for delivering worn and emaciated Shaanxi army horses; he was dismissed, but the emperor summoned him to the capital. His answers in audience pleased the throne, and he received engraved imperial pronouncements, sable fur, and fragrant pearls; his rank was restored.

總督鄂彌達檄行義將五千人協剿貴州亂苗，進擊滾縱、高表諸寨。 Governor-General E'ermida ordered Xingyi to lead five thousand men against rebellious Miao in Guizhou and to assault the stockades of Gunzong, Gaobiao, and others.

宜山縣土蠻恃險劫掠，行義與總督馬爾泰、署巡撫安圖令游擊楊剛討之。 Native tribesmen in Yishan relied on difficult terrain to raid; Xingyi, with Governor Ma'ertai and acting Governor Antu, ordered Colonel Yang Gang to suppress them.

行義檄副將畢映捕治，明星遁入山，搜捕得之。 Xingyi ordered Brigade Commander Bi Ying to hunt him down; Mingxing fled into the hills but was found and captured.

行義诇知之，督兵攻克賊巢，擒斬首從七十餘，事乃定。 Xingyi learned of the plot through intelligence, stormed the rebel stronghold, and killed or captured more than seventy leaders and followers, after which order was restored.

行義請發白金四千貸兵建瓦屋，分三年還帑，從之。 Xingyi asked that four thousand taels of silver be lent to the troops to build tiled houses, to be repaid to the treasury over three years; the request was approved.

又有李彩者，糾眾聚遷江石版村謀犯縣城，行義既捕治，請城北設汛。 Another man, Li Cai, mustered a band at Shiban village on the Qian River to assault the county seat; after Xingyi had captured him, he requested a garrison north of the city wall.

十八年，卒，諡恭愨。 In the eighteenth year he died and was posthumously titled Gongque.

無黨、進義皆能勤其官者，行義捕盜，廷屢從戰，皆有勞。 Wudang and Jinyi were diligent in office; Xingyi suppressed bandits; Ting fought in many campaigns—all earned merit.
