王無黨，直隸萬全人。 Wang Wudang was a native of Wanquan in Zhili.

貴州台拱九股苗為亂，無黨率師討定之，擢左江鎮總兵。 When the Nine-stock Miao of Taigong in Guizhou rose in revolt, Wudang led an expedition that pacified them and was promoted to regional commander of the Zuojiang garrison.

九股苗復為亂，無黨馳抵古州，分兵赴八寨督剿。 When the Nine-stock Miao rebelled again, he rushed to Guzhou, detached columns, and personally supervised operations at Bazhai.

經略張廣泗檄無黨分攻台拱大台雄，克之。 Frontier Commissioner Zhang Guangsi directed Wudang to assault Taigong and Daitaixiong in separate columns, and they were captured.

定番州屬姑盧寨苗視險強肆，廣泗與無黨遣漢、土官兵三千餘，分道毀寨搜箐，擒其渠老排，十餘日而定，上褒其妥協。 Miao of Guluzhai under Dingfan relied on difficult ground and raided boldly; Zhang Guangsi and Wudang sent over three thousand Han and native troops along separate routes to raze stockades and comb the ravines, seized their chieftain Laopai, and restored order within a fortnight; the emperor commended their measured conduct.

黑峒苗為亂，大學士鄂爾泰以無黨在貴州久，熟苗事，留使戡定乃上官。 When the Heidong Miao rebelled, Grand Secretary Ortai—knowing Wudang's long service in Guizhou and his familiarity with Miao affairs—detained him to finish the campaign before he assumed the Huguang post.

八年，上以湖廣軍政廢弛，無黨至官未有所整理，下詔詰責。 In the eighth year the emperor, finding Huguang military administration neglected and Wudang still without reforms after taking office, issued an edict of reprimand.

十三年，坐提標兵救火攘衣物，兵部論無黨徇庇，當奪官，命詣京師引見，左授湖南沅州協副將。 In the thirteenth year his banner troops were found looting goods while fighting a fire; the Board of War held that Wudang had covered for them and should be stripped of rank. Summoned to the capital for audience, he was demoted to brigade deputy commander at Yuanzhou in Hunan.

卒，諡壯愨。 He died and was posthumously titled Zhuangque.

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.
