In the middle of July in the fourteenth year of the Jiaqing era, Fulin rode back to the Guangzhou General's Mansion. He sent a lengthy report to the Capital City, running into hundreds of words.
His memorial read, "Long live my Emperor: The Red Hair pirates have caused chaos on our borders, Governor Ye Shanren underestimated the enemy and advanced recklessly, hit by a foreign gun, he perished on the spot, resulting in countless losses of soldiers and generals. Your humble servant is unworthy of the royal grace. By the vastness of the heavens, I was fortunate to receive the assistance of righteous individuals, only then was the treacherous fierce threat eliminated, without failing the trust placed by our ancestors in their defense..."
...
From the time Li Yan and Cai Qian entered the city to when Fulin resumed control, there passed about ten days.
