After Ding Yusheng resigned, in order to get rid of the predicament of life, he wandered Jiujiang, Shanghai, Yangzhou, and even traced the canal north to Anhui and Shandong, looking for a career everywhere, but all of them hit a wall, and finally decided to return to his hometown and live a life in Langzhong. When I returned to Jiujiang, I saw a gathering of talents from the north and south of the river. It turned out that Zeng Bohan, the governor of Liangjiang, was recruiting talents from all walks of life here, trying to compete with the long-haired rebel army. Ding Yusheng was overjoyed, that is, he found a hotel to stay, and according to his investigation and understanding of the long-haired rebel army in the past few months of wandering, he deliberately formulated a strategy for marching into Anqing, and then submitted it to the governor's yamen. When Zeng Bohan was thinking about forging ahead in Anqing, seeing that Ding Yusheng's submission was well planned, he had other opinions, and couldn't help but be happy, so he summoned Ding Yusheng to see him. Ding Yusheng talked eloquently and made a detailed analysis of the military strength of the Changmao rebel army and the deployment of defenses along the Yangtze River. Zeng Bohan saw that Ding Yusheng was attentive and thoughtful, and he didn't know what his literary talent was, so he invited him to take a walk in the garden of the mansion. After inquiring about the customs and customs of Huijiachao, the two came to a splendid plum tree. Zeng Bohan pointed to the plum blossoms and said: "Can the Ding County Order use this as the title to compose a poem?" Ding Yusheng said: "Do your best." After thinking about it for a while, he wrote: "A plum tree in the south of the Yangtze River is a plum blossom, and a plum blossom is a stone rock; The flowers and stones are flowing and the water is murmuring. The murmuring clouds and smoke rise, and the clouds and smoke rise in the middle of the mountain; The smoke rises in the middle of the mountain and the spring flood arrives in the middle of the mountain, and the spring flood in the middle of the mountain reaches the south of the Yangtze River. Zeng Bohan praised after reading it: "The poem is wonderful, and the calligraphy is also excellent." On the same day, Zeng Bohan immediately appointed Ding Yusheng as a checkpoint officer at Jiujiang checkpoint, and asked the imperial court to restore Ding Yusheng's original official position in November of the first year of Daqian Tongzhi (9062). Soon after, Ding Yusheng went to the Guangdong Association to do business, and Zeng Bohan praised him as "honest and honest" and "talented and far-reaching". In March of the second year of Tongzhi, Mao Hongbin, the governor of Liangguang, appointed Ding Yusheng to supervise firearms in Gaozhou County, Guangdong. Ding Yusheng asked fellow villager Huang Daquan to translate "A Brief Introduction to Firearms" and draw production patterns, and set up an artillery bureau in Yantang, a suburb of Guangzhou, where 36 artillery pieces and more than 2,000 shells were soon produced. These munitions were transported to Anhui for use by the Huai army, which helped Li Shaoquan, the general of the Huai army.

In May of the third year of Tongzhi, Li Shaoquan, the governor of Jiangsu, sent Ding Yusheng to Shanghai to prepare for foreign affairs. After the "Changsheng Army" was dismissed on schedule, Li Shaoquan praised Ding Yusheng's ability and went to the imperial court, appointing Ding Yusheng as Su, Song, and Taidao, and asked him to establish the Jiangnan Machinery Manufacturing Bureau. Ding Yusheng bought the American merchant Qiji Iron Works, merged the two artillery bureaus in Shanghai and Suzhou, and successfully established the largest gun factory in China and Turkey at that time, the Jiangnan Machinery Manufacturing Bureau, which once again showed his outstanding ability.

At the turn of the summer and autumn of the sixth year of Tongzhi, the wind and rain in Jiangsu were fierce, and the flood of the Qingshui River was surging, breaking the embankment and submerging a large number of granges. When Ding Yusheng was appointed as the envoy of the two Huai salt transporters, he was appointed by Li Shaoquan, the governor of Jiangsu, to govern. Along the way, I saw the lives of people in misery, and the sorrow was everywhere. Ding Yusheng was so anxious that he led officials at all levels to supervise the repair of the embankment as soon as he loaded and unloaded, and personally took the stone to fill the embankment. However, in the turbulent torrent, the stones and sediment thrown are mostly washed away with little effect. Ding Yusheng frowned, thought hard, and thought of a way, asking someone to cut a large number of green bamboos, weave them into baskets with large stomachs and small mouths, and then put sand and stones into them, and then throw them. This move really worked, and in a few days, the breach was blocked. After that, Ding Yusheng led the civil servants to fight day and night to build a strong embankment. Later, the local people called this embankment "Ding Gong Embankment" to commemorate Ding Yusheng's exploits.

In December of the sixth year of Tongzhi, Ding Yusheng was promoted to the governor of Jiangsu. At that time, the officialdom was mostly filled with greedy and mediocre people, and the rule of officials was dark. Ding Yusheng was self-exhorting and admonishing officials at all levels, and made a couplet and pasted it on the vermilion pillar of Fuya. Lianyun: "The official must come out, if he looks at it everywhere, he will forgive the criminal chapter and eventually create evil; Let the people be even, and see that they will be displaced, and endure the anointing of blood into their own pockets. "Ding Yusheng has been in charge of Jiangsu for more than two years, and he has made great efforts to clean up more than 270,000 cases. The imperial court instructed all provinces to take Ding Yusheng as an example of diligence.

In fact, the intersection of Lin Yizhe and Ding Yusheng began very early, although the two had not met before.

The first time the two met was during the Tianjin teaching plan. After the Tianjin case, the imperial court instructed Zeng Bohan, the governor of Zhili, to handle it. But the French side opened its mouth so loudly that the case was delayed. The imperial court ordered Ding Yushengxing to go to Tianjin as soon as possible to help him handle it. After arriving in Tianjin on 25 July, Ding Yusheng conducted an in-depth investigation, and when he negotiated with the French side, Ding Yusheng repeatedly pointed out that the shooting of the French consul in Tianjin, Feng Daye, had caused public outrage, and demanded that the French side arrest Feng Daye and punish him. As for the burning of churches and other buildings and the accidental injury of innocent people, there is also a reason for the incident; except for those who are strictly punished, the prime minister's yamen will negotiate compensation with various countries for the damage to the buildings, and the matter will be handled with the assistance of the senior cadres after the accidental injury. The French minister and others were helpless in front of conclusive human and material evidence, and the French Emperor Napoleon III ordered the arrest of Feng Daye after learning about it. The Tianjin lesson plan was later successfully resolved under the secret mediation of Lin Yizhe, and during the negotiation of the lesson case, Zeng Bohan was exhausted, and Ding Yusheng came forward to negotiate, and Ding Yusheng actually made a lot of efforts to solve the lesson plan.

After the Tianjin teaching plan was successfully concluded, Ding Yusheng deeply felt that if the weak Middle Earth wanted to become strong, it must take the cultivation of talents as the first priority. During his stay in Tianjin, he made many suggestions to Zeng Bohan, encouraging Zeng Bohan to go to the imperial court to send students to study abroad at public expense, which was approved by Zeng Bohan. Coupled with the help of Lin Yizhe and Li Shaoquan, Zeng Bohan's performance was approved by the imperial court, and the study abroad of expatriate officials and students was finally realized. It is the second intersection of the two.

In the ninth year of Tongzhi, after careful consideration, Ding Yusheng put forward the "Regulations on Coastal Defense" and proposed the "Regulations of the Marine Naval Division", proposing the establishment of Beiyang, Dongyang, and Nanyang naval divisions, vigorously advocating foreign affairs, and winning the praise of the imperial court, and most of the suggestions put forward were adopted and implemented. But in this way, Ding Yusheng was jealous of the conservative diehards, although he was outstanding, honest and honest, diligent and loving the people, but was scolded by the Qingliu Party as a "ghost slave", whenever the imperial court wanted to promote his official, there would always be people who jumped out to obstruct him, like this time he was originally going to be transferred from the governor of Jiangsu to the governor of Fujian and the prime minister of shipping, but because the Qingliu party impeached him for "forming a party for personal gain", he only served as the prime minister and the minister of shipping with the title of governor.

"The more they mention this Yixia defense, the more I will break the foundation of their body and clear the way for the prosperity of foreign affairs." Lin Yizhe said, "Those traitors are small and have their own people to clean them up, Brother Yisheng doesn't have to pay attention to them." We can do things with sincerity and do a career that has gone through the heavens and the earth, and we can be worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth. ”
