Katsuho was punished by the imperial court for his inability to suppress bandits, and was escorted back to the capital for trial, and the troops were handed over to Dolonga. Taking advantage of the chaos during the handover, Song Jingshi led the Black Flag Army back to Shandong on the sixth day of the first lunar month. Along the way, the army marched in a hurry, and when it encountered checkpoints and interrogations, it was said that it was changed by military orders, and later it was said that it was to send soldiers back to their hometowns. At that time, communication was not developed, and they were the banner of the regular army, so all the way was smooth. By the time Dolonga gave the order to intercept the Black Flag Army at the checkpoint, the Black Flag Army had already passed a long time ago. All the way to Baima Ferry in Ronghe County, Shanxi Province, and when all the Black Flag Troops crossed the Yellow River by boat, Song Jingshi's heart was finally put into his stomach, and there was no danger from here to Shandong.

When they reached Nangong County in Hebei Province, Liu Changyou, the governor of Hebei Province, received news from Duolong'a and sent someone to stop the Black Flag Army. But he did not dare to stop it, but only said that the military situation on the front line was urgent, so that Song Jingshi led his troops to return quickly. Song Jingshi said: I also want to go back, but not now. The following brothers are homesick and have to go home for the New Year. When we passed the New Year, our relatives returned to the team immediately after walking. The people sent by Liu Changyou couldn't cry and laugh, but there was nothing they could do. In this way, Song Jingshi went all the way to the east with the interceptors, and after twenty days of rapid marching, returned to Shandong on the twenty-sixth day of the waxing moon.

Entering Shandong, the Black Flag Army became the hot potato of Tan Tingxiang, the inspector of Shandong. He did not dare to argue with Song Jingshi, so he issued an order, which meant that the Black Flag Army had returned to its hometown privately, which was indeed wrong, but Nian was newly recruited and unfamiliar with military discipline, so that he was in Shandong to suppress Zhang Xizhu, Zhang Yuhuai and other bandits, and make meritorious atonement.

This command was exactly in line with Song Jingshi's intentions, and it was simply his talisman. He immediately stationed the Black Flag Army at Linqing Nanguan in the name of suppressing bandits and took over the defense of Linqing. Linqing is an important ferry port on the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, known as the Little Tianjin, the materials in the south, Caoyin to the north to transport must pass through the canal, must pass through Linqing, so Song Jingshi here can intercept military supplies at any time, and still in the name of the official.

Then, he got in touch with Zhang Xizhu, Zhang Yuhuai and others. In the dark, Song Jingshi provided them with grain and grass weapons, and they recruited soldiers and horses for Song Jingshi to expand their strength, and the soldiers and bandits became a family. At the end of the year, the Black Flag Army returned to its original size, and the soldiers were strong and strong, the weapons were sophisticated, and the key was the identity of the regular army of the imperial court, who came and went freely, and no one dared to provoke. Therefore, Song Jingshi deployed his troops all the way from Linqing to the south, and the area north of Yanggu, west of Dongchang Province, east of Guantao, and south of Linqing was controlled by the Black Flag Army.

At this time, Song Jingshi considered that he could not tear his face with the government, as long as the officers and soldiers did not come to him, he would not provoke the officers and men, and now he needed to recruit soldiers to buy horses and collect grain and grass, and the identity of this Qing army's five-pin general was still useful.

However, there is no need to be so polite to vigilante groups. Some time ago, because of the absorption of the Black Flag Army that remained behind, many vigilante groups robbed the Black Flag Army of things, and some even mutilated the families of the Black Flag Army, forming a lot of hatred. In particular, Wang Bailing, the leader of the Gantun "Loyal Love Regiment", forced Song Jingshi's second brother Song Jingli to die, and turned against Song Jingshi. Now these vigilante groups are also developing rapidly, with more than 2,000 people, the large ones, and 700 or 800 people, digging trenches and walls in their respective villages and towns, and occupying one side. In peacetime, he was responsible for maintaining local public order, helping the government to suppress bandits when there was a bandit, and his combat effectiveness was stronger than that of officers and soldiers; according to Zhang Xizhu, the rebel army did not suffer less from the losses of the vigilante groups some time ago.

Now, these vigilante groups clearly do not dare to confront the Black Flag Army, but secretly regard the Black Flag Army as an opponent and make trouble when they have the opportunity. Some forbade the villagers of their villages to join the Black Flag Army, and some spread rumors that the imperial court would soon come to surround and suppress them, saying: "Don't look at the Black Flag Army jumping happily now, the sun can still shine in the afternoon?" When the imperial army arrives, all these people will have to behead them according to rebellion, and then there will be them crying."

Song Jingshi also realized that these vigilante groups would be the strongest opponents of the Black Flag Army, so he thought about beating them and beating them to establish the prestige of the Black Flag Army, and Wang Bailing's "Loyalty and Love Group" was the most suitable target.
