Nie Shicheng was once a commander of the Wuwei Front Army and the Governor of Zhili, known for his significant achievements and expertise in leading troops in battle. However, during the recent operation against bandits, his repeated blunders led to multiple impeachments, and he ultimately let the court down. The Emperor, while dismissing him, allowed him to remain in post to see how he would perform in the future. The court was still quite lenient towards him, hoping he would strive to improve and redeem himself. Unexpectedly, he was killed in action on the 13th while commanding. Despite years of studying Western military tactics, he fell in his first major engagement, which is truly tragic! However, considering that he died on the battlefield for the country, he was still better than those who fled in the face of danger. Therefore, his position was reinstated, and he was compensated according to the example of fallen commanders, as a gesture of the court's grace to encourage the troops.
The court had been quite considerate towards General Nie Shicheng. Although he had made mistakes and been dismissed before, he was given a chance to continue serving, showing that the court hoped he could redeem himself and continue serving his nation. However, his death in battle was truly regrettable. After years of studying Western military tactics, he should have excelled on the battlefield and made great contributions to the country, but the outcome was... sigh, truly devastating! Nevertheless, he did die on the battlefield for the country, which is completely different from the cowardice of those who fled in the face of danger. Therefore, the court decided to reinstate his position and compensate him according to the example of fallen commanders, to commend his loyalty and bravery and inspire more soldiers to serve their country.
