再,本年正月間,管帶福靖左營(yíng)游擊王開(kāi)俊進(jìn)剿獅頭社生番陣亡,臣等即飭臺(tái)灣道夏獻(xiàn)綸查明該營(yíng)臨陣弁勇有無(wú)先行潰逃情事,以便分別辦理;業(yè)經(jīng)奏明在案。二月二十九日,夏獻(xiàn)綸詳稱:先據(jù)接帶福靖營(yíng)副將王福祿報(bào)稱:當(dāng)王開(kāi)俊被圍時(shí),前哨正百長(zhǎng)游擊李玉貴、左哨正百長(zhǎng)千總李長(zhǎng)興未能策應(yīng),咎無(wú)可辭;應(yīng)先去百長(zhǎng),留營(yíng)聽(tīng)候查辦等因。旋又稟稱:二月十三日,李長(zhǎng)興等俱求給假,該副將以應(yīng)候查辦不準(zhǔn),詎李長(zhǎng)興竟于十六夜?jié)撎?;派弁追至東港拏獲到郡,經(jīng)夏獻(xiàn)綸親自提訊。緣正月初八日,王開(kāi)俊親督中、右、后三哨由獅頭山而進(jìn),令李玉貴、李長(zhǎng)興督前、左兩哨由南勢(shì)湖而進(jìn),約至獅頭社合隊(duì);迨王開(kāi)俊為生番圍困,哨官周占魁、楊占魁、楊舉秀俱已陣亡,張玉祥身亦受傷,而李長(zhǎng)興、李玉貴兩哨不能前進(jìn)合隊(duì),致王開(kāi)俊以孤軍力戰(zhàn)捐軀。李玉貴、李長(zhǎng)興等身為哨長(zhǎng),分道進(jìn)兵,力圖援應(yīng),是其專責(zé);雖據(jù)供眾寡不敵,因而挫退,并非先行潰逃,究屬怯懦無(wú)能,有干軍律。李長(zhǎng)興不候查辦,私自離營(yíng),情節(jié)尤重;請(qǐng)示分別懲辦等因前來(lái)。臣等于三月初二日,先將千總李長(zhǎng)興按軍法示眾;游擊李玉貴應(yīng)請(qǐng)旨革職,不準(zhǔn)投效軍營(yíng),以為畏葸者戒。謹(jǐn)附片馳陳,伏乞圣監(jiān)訓(xùn)示。謹(jǐn)奏。
