In the winter of the 10th year of the Qing calendar, General Li Hongcheng's achievements in the Qingzhou battle were made known to the world. He returned to the capital following an imperial summons. In the year he had just stood firm, he became the deputy head of the Bureau of Military Affairs, a high honor. However, the people of the court singing the praises of the greatness of the Qing Kingdom could clearly see that the position of deputy head was actually an empty position. Under Ye Zhong's suppression, Li Hongcheng would never have a military force that belonged wholly to him as it had in Dingzhou. And, no one forgot that the previous person to take the lofty position as deputy head at such a young age was Qin Heng, and his end was not very glorious.
