The cabinet decided that the army would stick to Beijing, and the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager would move to the capital first. Sun Rewei decided to stay and live and die with the capital. Sun Rewei asked Zhu Qiyu to move south together, and if she died, let Zhu Qiyu reign.

Daming Fenghua Yu Qian analyzed the military situation, and Vala would bypass Beijing and sweep across Jiangbei. Hearing this, Sun decided to open the city gate and array to meet the enemy. The messenger came first to surrender, and Sun was furious and never gave in. At the beginning of the war, Sun Ruowei, wearing silver armor, went into battle in person and fought to the death with Vala.
