吳進義，字子恆，陝西寧朔人。 Wu Jinyi, whose style name was Ziheng, was a native of Ningshuo in Shaanxi.

進義入伍，從振武將軍孫思克徵噶爾丹，劄署守備，發江南借補千總。 Jinyi enlisted and followed General Sun Sike of Zhenwu against Galdan, served provisionally as garrison commander, and was lent to Jiangnan to fill a company captaincy.

時有偽為孫嘉淦疏稿語訐上，進義與浙閩總督喀爾吉善以聞。 At the time a forged memorial bearing Sun Jiagan's name contained language attacking the throne; Jinyi and Zhejiang–Fujian Governor-General Ka'erjishan reported it together.

上令究所從來，語連提督廨胥吏，喀爾吉善劾進義隱諱，命解官聽讞。 The emperor ordered the source traced; the inquiry touched clerks in the commander's yamen. Ka'erjishan impeached Jinyi for concealment, and he was dismissed pending trial.

進義力辨未嘗隱諱，其幕客證進義已見稿。 Jinyi insisted he had never concealed anything; members of his staff testified that he had already seen the draft.

浙江巡撫雅爾哈善論進義當重闢，上愍其老，命貰罪。 Zhejiang Governor Ya'erhashan argued that Jinyi deserved execution; the emperor, taking pity on his age, commuted the penalty.

有恭疏陳進義實未見稿，浙江承審諸吏牽合附會。 Yougong memorialized that Jinyi had never seen the draft and that the Zhejiang examining officials had stitched the case together by conjecture.

上以進義無辜廢斥，召來京，命以提督銜署直隸宣化鎮總兵。 Finding Jinyi innocent yet wrongly dismissed, the emperor summoned him to the capital and appointed him acting regional commander of the Xuanhua garrison in Zhili with provincial-commander rank.

進義請限操演火藥，增設河屯協弓兵，皆允行。 Jinyi requested limits on live-fire drill and additional bow troops for the river garrison brigade; both requests were approved.

二十七年，卒，年八十四，加太子太保，諡壯愨。 In the twenty-seventh year he died at eighty-four; he was posthumously made Senior Guardian of the Heir Apparent and titled Zhuangque.

進義家世多武功，從祖坤，貴州永北總兵，嘗徵四川苗及金川有功。 Jinyi's family had long produced distinguished soldiers; his collateral ancestor Kun, regional commander of Yongbei in Guizhou, had earned merit against Sichuan Miao and in the Jinchuan campaigns.

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.
