Deng Shichang was the highest general of Beiyang Army who died in the Yellow Sea naval battle. His performance is the most heroic and his sacrifice is the most heroic. In this regard, Li Hongzhang specifically reported the deeds of Deng Shichang to Emperor Guangxu and asked for special rewards. After the Emperor Guangxu received the memorial, he was also moved by Deng Shichang's deeds. He immediately ordered Deng Shichang to be given preferential treatment in accordance with the rules of the prefect, and the prince was posthumously given, and posthumous title was "strongly celebrated". At the same time, he also made an exception and gave Deng Shichang an elegy: "This day is full of tears, and the navy is mighty." He also wrote a poem: "The city is full of mighty guns, and the giant bandits defeated our army without money." Later, Heaven finally agreed to you, and Zhiyuan was the first honor. " Spoke highly of Deng Shichang.
