《明史·列传·卷一百九十九》
皇帝告诉傅友德等人，在军队获胜后，一定要杀其长官，使他们害怕，并搜寻余党，断绝祸根，使他们智力穷尽而力量削弱，诚心诚意地投诚依附于朝廷，这样才能留兵把守。
帝谕友德等，师捷后，必戮其渠魁，使之畏惧。搜其余党，绝其根株，使彼智穷力屈，诚心款附，方可留兵镇守。
The emperor told Fu Youde et al. that after the army had won, they must kill their chieftains to scare them, and search for the other members to cut off the sources of evil, so that they would exhaust their intelligence and weaken their power, sincerely become submissive to the imperial court, and only then would it be possible to leave troops to guard.
