As soon as Emperor Chongzhen arrived, he naturally convened a meeting in front of the emperor.
In terms of civil officials, Du Yinxi was the leader, along with local officials and civil servants brought from other places by Emperor Chongzhen. In terms of military generals, Tang Tong, Gao Jie, Chen Yongfu, Qin Yiming, Zeng Ying, Yang Zhan, Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu and others were the main ones.
Those who died in the battle would definitely not survive, and those who were injured had already recovered by the time Emperor Chongzhen arrived.
At the beginning, Emperor Chongzhen severely criticized several generals for underestimating the enemy and advancing rashly. Zeng Ying and Sun Kewang were demoted one level and allowed to make meritorious contributions while serving their sentence. Du Yinxi, as the commander-in-chief, was also held responsible and was fined for half a year.
After the punishment, he said sternly: "I know that some people think that the world will soon be peaceful and the war will be over, so they are anxious to make meritorious deeds and want to be made a marquis, appointed as a prime minister, and have their wives and children be given titles! Here, I can tell you that even if the world is peaceful, I will still use troops and expand the territory. You will never stop fighting in your lifetime. As long as you fight well and win the battles, are you afraid that you will not have military merits to show for yourself?"
