We have received a memorial from Ting-an and his colleagues reporting further successes against the rebels in the Ch'no-yang district. When the Jeho rebels raised a disturbance in the Ch'aoyang district, Ting-An despatched troops to make a concerted attack upon them and gained repeated victories. The rebels retreated and took up a position in the neighbourhood of Ch'ao-pei-ying-tstt. Here they were attacked on the 3rd and 7th of December by the troops under General Chang Yung-ching. Over 1,000 of the enemy were captured or killed. Following up this success, the Imperialists assailed the rebel encampment at Chaoshukou and captured 8 noted ringleader named Li Chiao-ming, who was decapitated on the spot. General Feng-sheng-a advanced against the rebels in the direction of Tamiae and the Palace of the Mongolian Pei-sit, killing over 100 of them inthe engagement which ensued and capturing twenty prisoners, amongst whom were a leader known as Ch'én Loming and a Troist priest called Sheng Hsin-tsang, all of whom were summarily decapitated. General Nien Kuei-lin pursued the rebels to a place called singlungwa where he slaughtered about 150 of them. In a subsequent engagement the enemy lost over 600 of their one of their leaders, Hon K'o-chun, being captured and beheaded. The opera: tions have so far been conducted with great success, and We command Ting-An and Yii-Lu to lose no time in joining their forces with those from Chihli and employing their concentrated strength in bringing about the total extermination of the various rebel bands.
