黃忠浩楊讓梨等志銳，字公穎，他塔拉氏，世居扎庫木，隸滿洲正紅旗，陝甘總督裕泰孫。 Huang Zhonghao, Yang Rangli, and the others are treated below. Zhi Rui, styled Gongying, belonged to the Tatara clan and had lived for generations at Zhakumu. He was enrolled in the Manchu Plain Red Banner and was a grandson of Yu Tai, governor-general of Shaanxi and Gansu.

繼忠浩死者有楊讓梨。 Among those who died after Zhonghao was Yang Rangli.

楊讓梨，字劭欽，籍湘鄉。 Yang Rangli, styled Shaoqin, was from Xiangxiang.

詩正援台灣，戰失利，嘗負之以免，軍中咸壯之。 When Shizheng went to aid Taiwan and the battle went badly, he once carried Rangli on his back to safety, and the whole army admired the deed.

轉戰新疆、河州、西寧，數有功，累擢參將，賜號鏗色巴圖魯。 He fought in Xinjiang, Hezhou, and Xining, won repeated distinction, rose to brigade general, and was granted the title Kense Batulu.

時總兵周瑞龍持兩端，其子瓚齎金至，將以餌筸兵，哨弁李鳳鳴潛告讓梨，得為備。 Brigade general Zhou Ruilong was wavering; his son Zan arrived with gold to bribe the Qian troops. Sentinel officer Li Fengming secretly warned Rangli, and he was able to prepare.

瑞龍稱疾，檄讓梨還，代以他將。 Ruilong claimed illness, ordered Rangli back, and replaced him with another officer.

讓梨乃上書責以大義滅親，辭激昂，且傳檄捕瓚，瓚遁。 Rangli wrote a furious letter invoking the duty to put loyalty above family ties and issued a warrant for Zan's arrest; Zan fled.

讓梨痛哭，犒遣軍士，獨棹小舟至清浪灘，踴身入水。 Rangli wept, rewarded and dismissed his soldiers, poled a small boat alone to Qinglang Beach, and threw himself into the water.

舟子泅出之，讓梨恚甚，曰：「奚活我為？」 The boatman pulled him out. Rangli was furious and said, "Why did you save me?"

瓚出代其軍，遣人追縶讓梨及其子傳孔，鎖送長沙。 Zan took command of the troops and sent men to seize Rangli and his son Chuan Kong, who were shackled and sent to Changsha.

有陳萁者，讓梨從子壻也。 There was also Chen Qi, Rangli's nephew by marriage.

當讓梨被縛時，萁即奪起擊縛者，僕一人，攢刃交下，傷其首，斷一足，並死之。 When Rangli was seized, Qi sprang up and attacked his captors. With a single servant he fought back until blades cut his head and severed a foot; both died.
