《元史·列传·卷三十七》
诸将要大肆屠杀这些攻克的州郡，明安劝止道： 这些地方的人本当处死，但若不杀他们，那些尚未归附的人将都来归附。 
诸将议欲屠之，明安奏曰： 此辈当死，今若生之，则彼之未附者，皆闻风而自至矣。 
The generals were going to slaughter people in the captured states, but Ming'an advised, "People in these places deserved to die, but if we don't kill them, people who have not submited yet will all come to submit."
