It wasn't unheard of for people to go missing during the war; some fled mid-battle, while others died in unknown locations. However, deserters were few and far between due to the severe punishment of beheading. It was unthinkable for someone as promising as Qian Manjiang to desert, so the most likely possibility was that he had died.

For the families of those who served, a missing loved one was the most devastating. If a person died, there was a consolation prize of ten taels of silver, and if disabled, there was an eight-tael settlement fee. If a person returned, there was still a disbandment fee of five taels of silver. But for those missing in action, there was neither money nor person, not even a proper explanation.
