Liu Yongfu had offered a substantial bounty for the heads of French officers, graded according to their rank, and it seems likely that a Black Flag soldier had killed the wounded French commander and then decapitated him in order to claim the bounty, cutting off his hands so that his rank could be verified by the number of bands (galons) on his tunic cuffs.
Liu Yongfu telah menawarkan hadiah besar untuk kepala perwira Prancis, dinilai sesuai dengan pangkat mereka, dan tampaknya seorang prajurit Bendera Hitam telah membunuh komandan Prancis yang terluka dan kemudian memenggalnya untuk menuntut hadiah tersebut, memotong tangannya sehingga pangkatnya dapat diverifikasi oleh jumlah band (galon) pada manset tuniknya.
