八年，牽竄定海，進香普陀山，長庚掩至，牽僅以身免，窮追至閩洋，賊船糧盡帆壞，偽乞降於總督玉德，遣興泉永道慶徠赴三沙招撫，玉德遽檄浙師收港，牽得以其間修船揚帆去。 In the eighth year Cai Qian slipped into Dinghai to offer incense at Mount Putuo; Changgeng surprised him, and Qian escaped only with his life. Changgeng pursued him into Fujian waters until the pirate fleet was out of provisions and its sails in tatters. Qian then feigned surrender to Governor-General Yude, who sent Circuit Intendant Qing Lai of Xing-Quan-Yong to Sansha to negotiate. Yude abruptly ordered the Zhejiang fleet back to harbor, and Qian used the respite to refit his ships and escape.

詔逮治玉德，以阿林保代。 An edict ordered Governor Yude arrested and replaced him with Alinbao.

嗣後勦賊專倚長庚，儻阿林保從中掣肘，玉德即前車之鑑！」 Hereafter the campaign against the pirates will depend entirely on Changgeng. If Alinbao interferes, Yude's fate will be your warning!'

與阮元同心整厲水師，數建功，為玉德所忌。 Working closely with Ruan Yuan, he reorganized and strengthened the navy and won repeated victories, which earned him the resentment of Governor Yude.
