Zhang Lin
In 879, the Tang military governor ("Jiedushi") of Zhenhai Circuit (鎮海, headquartered in modern Zhenjiang, Jiangsu), Gao Pian, sent his officers Zhang Lin () and Liang Zuan () to attack Huang, and they repeatedly defeated Huang. Qin, along with several other key Huang followers, including Bi Shiduo, Li Hanzhi, and Xu Qing (), surrendered to Gao. Gao made him the prefect of He Prefecture (和州, in modern Chaohu, Anhui).
