Bi Cheng took the lead in raising funds and resolutely donated silver100,000 taels (he has exhausted his family wealth). Later, Bi Cheng was ordered to contact the reinforcements who left the city. He worked tirelessly, running around, and finally came to nothing. By the time he came back, Jiangyin County had been breached and the whole city was slaughtered. Finally, disheartened, he became a monk.
