But hear the sequel of the story. The Yunnanese put the Szechuanese to flight and followed them up to the gates of Chengtu. On the way many battles were fought and some stubborn ones. When the time came to reorganize the regiments of the Yunnanese it was found that not one man from the lieutenant down who participated in the attack on the fortress was to be found, they all having been killed in action. This is as reported by the Yunnanese and one can believe that there is some truth in the story. May it have a proper effect on the Yunnanese and Szechuanese alike, as such outrages never in any land bring any good to the perpetrators.
