既而聞聯軍媾和，乃遣同知程德全往商和議，而自守「軍覆則死」之義，命妻及子婦先裁，手繕遺疏，猶惓惓於墾政，並致書俄將領囑勿戕民。 When word came that the allied powers had made peace, he sent Subprefect Cheng Dequan to negotiate, while he upheld the rule of "a defeated commander must die"; he had his wife and daughters-in-law killed first, wrote his final memorial still urging land reclamation, and wrote the Russian commanders begging them not to harm civilians.
