上以台灣遠在海外，主客民雜處，風俗素悍，命於府城及嘉義立諸將帥生祠，示威德。 The emperor, reflecting that Taiwan lay far across the sea, that settlers and indigenous peoples were intermixed, and that local customs had long been fierce, ordered living shrines to the campaigning generals erected at the prefectural seat and at Jiayi, so that imperial authority and benevolence might be made visible.

賴大道病，舒亮令誅之，不稱上意，命仍為護軍統領。 Lai Da fell gravely ill on the road. Shu Liang ordered him put to death, a decision that failed to satisfy the emperor's intent; Shu Liang was therefore left in his former post as colonel of the Guard.

高宗爵柴大紀，誅郝壯猷，欲以激勵諸將； Emperor Gaozong ennobled Chai Daji and executed Hao Zhuangyou, intending by reward and punishment alike to stir the other commanders to action.
