Quote
  • And made captive that entire country,
  • And they humbly kowtowed, making crude sounds
  • Bringing back to our august capital,
  • Did not even merit the punishment of Heaven.
  • Praising the sage-like virtue of the imperial Ming ruler.
  • Straight-away, their dens and hideouts we ravaged,
  • Thus the august emperor spared their lives,
  • These insignificant worms, deserving to die ten thousand times over, trembling in fear...
  • Their women, children, families and retainers, leaving not one,
  • Cleaning out in a single sweep those noxious pests, as if winnowing chaff from grain...
