命戶部右侍郎杜為督辦山東團練大臣，登萊青道貢璜、登州府知府盧朝安幫辦團練事宜，按照大學士賈楨等所擬條款，並參酌河南章程，體察情形辦理。 Du, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, was appointed to oversee Shandong militia, with Gong Huang of the Dengzhou-Laizhou-Qingzhou Circuit and Lu Chao'an, Prefect of Dengzhou, assisting under the provisions drafted by Grand Secretary Jia Zhen and others, adapted from Henan's model to local conditions.
各省團練大臣，直隸桑春榮操守尚嚴，山東杜已嘖有煩言，至於江北、江南所辦鄉團，自上年至今，未聞有團練大臣收復一州一縣者，徒以騷動天下，無益有損。 Of the provincial supervisors, Sang Chunrong in Zhili was relatively upright, while Du in Shandong was already widely criticized. As for village militia in Jiangbei and Jiangnan, not one prefecture or county had been recovered since the previous year—they had merely stirred up the country, doing harm and no good.
