先是文生、鳳皆乞降，而鳳病死，其妻王玉貞籍所屬六萬八千餘人就撫，而精忠將林爾瞻猶擁眾石壟。 Earlier Wensheng and Feng had both asked to surrender, but Feng died of illness. His wife Wang Yuzhen registered more than sixty-eight thousand followers for pacification, while Jingzhong's general Lin Erzhan still held a force at Shilong.

精忠既叛，語圖喇勿縱兵暴民。 When Jingzhong rebelled he urged Tula not to let the troops abuse the people.

耿精忠叛，時之芳為總督，雖不諳騎射，執刀立船首，率眾突前破敵。 When Geng Jingzhong rebelled, Zhifang was governor. Though unskilled in riding and archery, he stood at the bow with a blade in hand and led his men in a frontal charge that broke the enemy.
