八年，安徽巡撫翁同書疏言皖省定遠、壽州、合肥等縣舉辦團練，旬日之間，遠近響應，和州踞賊屢出焚掠，多被鄉團擊回，以其深明大義，踴躍同仇，凡董事團總人等，傳諭嘉勉。 In the eighth year, Anhui Governor Weng Tongshu reported that Dingyuan, Shouzhou, Hefei, and other counties had raised militia companies, and within ten days the response spread far and wide. Rebels holding Hexian repeatedly sallied out to burn and loot, but village militia drove most of them back. Because the organizers clearly grasped the larger cause and rallied with shared resolve, the directors and militia chiefs were commended by imperial message.
