楚兵素剽悍，有夏逢龍者，尤桀黠，能以小信義結其伍，隱附之。 Huguang troops had always been fierce. Xia Fenglong was especially cunning and won followers with small acts of trust.

逢龍自號「總統兵馬大元帥」，幟以白，迫布政使以下官受偽職，映榴紿以無殺掠，三日後徐議之。 Fenglong styled himself 'Grand Marshal President of Troops and Horses,' raised white banners, and forced officials to accept false offices. Yingliu stalled him with promises of no killing or plunder and discussion in three days.

茲值裁兵夏逢龍倡亂，劫奪撫臣敕印，分兵圍臣衙門，露刃逼脅。 Now, as troops were disbanded, Xia Fenglong has rebelled, seized the governor's commission and seal, surrounded my yamen, and threatened me with bare blades.
