《明史·列传·卷二百零三》
西平侯沐晟请求朝廷发兵讨伐，皇帝命令沐晟先传文书谕戒他，如果刀暹答不思悔改，再用军队讨伐。又因车里已经向官府交纳出威远的官印，这说明他们已有悔过之心，所以不必加兵。
乃以蛮莫等十三处地方宽广，诸蛮历年所争，属之腾冲司，檄军轮守，则烟瘴可虞；属之木邦，则地势辽远，蛮心不顺。
Xi Pinghou Mu Sheng requested the imperial court to send troops to conquer it. The emperor ordered Mu Sheng to first send a letter to admonish him. If Daoxianda did not repent, he would use troops to conquer it. And because Cheli has already handed over the official seal of Weiyuan to the government, this shows that they have repented, so there is no need to add troops.
