《明史·列传·卷一百六十二》
当时在北边的大臣忠节死难的不多；在南方的大臣讨伐贼寇的又少，这真是千古不曾有过的耻辱啊！
在北诸臣，死节者无多；在南诸臣，讨贼者复少。此千古未有之耻也。
There were not many loyal ministers who died heroically in the north then, and there were few ministers who fought against the rebels in the south. This is indeed a shame that has never been seen in the past thousand years!
