凡大兵所至，其害甚於盜賊：蓋盜賊人猶得而仇之，兵則人所不敢仇也。其少異於盜者，特不敢輕於殺人耳。甲寅歲，三藩作反，南征之士，養馬兗郡，雞犬廬舍一空，婦女皆被淫污。時遭霪雨，田中瀦水為湖，民無所匿，遂乘垣入高粱叢中。兵知之，裸體乘馬，入水搜淫，鮮有遺脫。惟張氏婦不伏，公然在家。有廚舍一所，夜與夫掘坎深數尺，積茅焉；覆以薄，加蓆其上，若可寢處。自炊灶下。有兵至，則出門應給之。二蒙古兵強與淫。婦曰：「此等事，豈可對人行者？」其一微笑，啁嗻而出。婦與入室，指蓆使先登。薄折，兵陷。婦又另取蓆及薄覆其上，故立坎邊，以誘來者。少間，其一復入。聞坎中號，不知何處，婦以手笑招之曰：「在此處。」兵踏蓆，又陷。婦乃益投以薪，擲火其中。火大熾，屋焚。婦乃呼救。火既熄，燔尸焦臭。人問之。婦曰：「兩豬恐害於兵，故納坎中耳。」由此離村數里，於大道旁並無樹木處，攜女紅往坐烈日中。村去郡遠，兵來率乘馬，頃刻數至。笑語啁嗻，雖多不解，大約調弄之語。然去道不遠，無一物可以蔽身，輒去，數日無患。一日，一兵至，甚無恥，就烈日中欲淫婦。婦含笑不甚拒。隱以針刺其馬，馬輒噴嘶，兵遂縶馬股際，然後擁婦。婦出巨錐猛刺馬項，馬負痛奔駭。韁繫股不得脫，曳馳數十里，同伍始代捉之。首軀不知處，韁上一股，儼然在焉。
大軍所到之處，造成的禍害比盜賊還嚴重。因為人們對盜賊還敢仇視，對官兵卻不敢。他們與盜賊稍有不同的地方，只是不敢輕易殺人罷了。甲寅年，三藩造反，南征的官兵在兗郡養馬，雞犬被搶得精光，房舍遭到洗劫，婦女全被姦汙。當時連日大雨，田裡的積水匯成了湖，百姓無處藏身，只好翻過牆，躲進高粱叢裡。官兵知道後，赤身裸體騎著馬，涉水進去搜尋婦女，加以姦汙，很少有人逃脫。只有張家的媳婦不肯躲藏，公然留在家裡。她家有一間廚房，夜裡她與丈夫在裡面挖了一個幾尺深的坑，堆進茅草，再用葦簾蓋住，上面加鋪席子，看起來像個可以睡覺的地方。她照常在灶前做飯，有官兵來，就出門應付，供給他們所要的東西。兩個蒙古兵要強姦她，她說：「這種事，怎麼能當著別人的面做？」其中一個微微一笑，嘰裡咕嚕說著話，出去了。她與另一個進了屋，指著席子，讓他先上去。葦簾折斷，那個兵掉進了坑裡。她又拿來席子和葦簾，蓋在坑上，故意站在坑邊，引誘另一個進來。過了一會兒，另一個兵果然又進來了，聽見坑裡的叫喊，卻不知道聲音從哪裡傳來。她笑著招手說：「在這裡。」那個兵踩上席子，也掉了進去。她便往坑裡又添了些柴，把火扔進去。火猛烈地燒起來，連屋子也燒著了，她這才呼喊救火。火滅後，燒焦的屍體散發著臭氣。有人問她，她說：「有兩頭豬，怕被官兵糟蹋，所以放進坑裡了。」從此，她離開村子幾里，到大路旁一處沒有樹木的地方，帶著針線活，坐在烈日下。村子離郡城很遠，官兵來往大多騎馬，不一會兒就能遇上好幾撥。他們說笑吵嚷，她雖然大多聽不懂，但大致都是調戲她的話。可是那裡離大路很近，又沒有任何東西可以遮掩，他們就走了，幾天都平安無事。一天，一個兵來了，十分無恥，竟要在烈日下強姦她。她含著笑，沒有怎麼抗拒，卻暗中用針刺他的馬。馬不斷噴氣嘶叫，那個兵便把馬韁繩拴在自己大腿上，然後抱住她。她拿出一把大錐子，猛刺馬的脖子。馬疼得驚恐狂奔，韁繩繫在那個兵的大腿上，他無法掙脫，被拖著跑了幾十裡，同夥才替他捉住馬。他的頭和身子已不知去了哪裡，韁繩上赫然還掛著一條大腿。
凡大兵所至，其害甚于盗贼：盖盗贼人犹得而仇之，兵则人所不敢仇也。其少异于盗者，特不敢轻于杀人耳。甲寅岁，三藩作反，南征之士，养马兖郡，鸡犬庐舍一空，妇女皆被淫污。时遭霪雨，田中潴水为湖，民无所匿，遂乘垣入高粱丛中。兵知之，裸体乘马，入水搜淫，鲜有遗脱。惟张氏妇不伏，公然在家。有厨舍一所，夜与夫掘坎深数尺，积茅焉；覆以薄，加席其上，若可寝处。自炊灶下。有兵至，则出门应给之。二蒙古兵强与淫。妇曰：「此等事，岂可对人行者？」其一微笑，啁嗻而出。妇与入室，指席使先登。薄折，兵陷。妇又另取席及薄覆其上，故立坎边，以诱来者。少间，其一复入。闻坎中号，不知何处，妇以手笑招之曰：「在此处。」兵踏席，又陷。妇乃益投以薪，掷火其中。火大炽，屋焚。妇乃呼救。火既熄，燔尸焦臭。人问之。妇曰：「两猪恐害于兵，故纳坎中耳。」由此离村数里，于大道旁并无树木处，携女红往坐烈日中。村去郡远，兵来率乘马，顷刻数至。笑语啁嗻，虽多不解，大约调弄之语。然去道不远，无一物可以蔽身，辄去，数日无患。一日，一兵至，甚无耻，就烈日中欲淫妇。妇含笑不甚拒。隐以针刺其马，马辄喷嘶，兵遂絷马股际，然后拥妇。妇出巨锥猛刺马项，马负痛奔骇。缰系股不得脱，曳驰数十里，同伍始代捉之。首躯不知处，缰上一股，俨然在焉。
大军所到之处，造成的祸害比盗贼还严重。因为人们对盗贼还敢仇视，对官兵却不敢。他们与盗贼稍有不同的地方，只是不敢轻易杀人罢了。甲寅年，三藩造反，南征的官兵在兖郡养马，鸡犬被抢得精光，房舍遭到洗劫，妇女全被奸污。当时连日大雨，田里的积水汇成了湖，百姓无处藏身，只好翻过墙，躲进高粱丛里。官兵知道后，赤身裸体骑着马，涉水进去搜寻妇女，加以奸污，很少有人逃脱。只有张家的媳妇不肯躲藏，公然留在家里。她家有一间厨房，夜里她与丈夫在里面挖了一个几尺深的坑，堆进茅草，再用苇帘盖住，上面加铺席子，看起来像个可以睡觉的地方。她照常在灶前做饭，有官兵来，就出门应付，供给他们所要的东西。两个蒙古兵要强奸她，她说：“这种事，怎么能当着别人的面做？”其中一个微微一笑，叽里咕噜说着话，出去了。她与另一个进了屋，指着席子，让他先上去。苇帘折断，那个兵掉进了坑里。她又拿来席子和苇帘，盖在坑上，故意站在坑边，引诱另一个进来。过了一会儿，另一个兵果然又进来了，听见坑里的叫喊，却不知道声音从哪里传来。她笑着招手说：“在这里。”那个兵踩上席子，也掉了进去。她便往坑里又添了些柴，把火扔进去。火猛烈地烧起来，连屋子也烧着了，她这才呼喊救火。火灭后，烧焦的尸体散发着臭气。有人问她，她说：“有两头猪，怕被官兵糟蹋，所以放进坑里了。”从此，她离开村子几里，到大路旁一处没有树木的地方，带着针线活，坐在烈日下。村子离郡城很远，官兵来往大多骑马，不一会儿就能遇上好几拨。他们说笑吵嚷，她虽然大多听不懂，但大致都是调戏她的话。可是那里离大路很近，又没有任何东西可以遮掩，他们就走了，几天都平安无事。一天，一个兵来了，十分无耻，竟要在烈日下强奸她。她含着笑，没有怎么抗拒，却暗中用针刺他的马。马不断喷气嘶叫，那个兵便把马缰绳拴在自己大腿上，然后抱住她。她拿出一把大锥子，猛刺马的脖子。马疼得惊恐狂奔，缰绳系在那个兵的大腿上，他无法挣脱，被拖着跑了几十里，同伙才替他捉住马。他的头和身子已不知去了哪里，缰绳上赫然还挂着一条大腿。
Wherever a great army goes, it does more harm than bandits. People can at least treat bandits as enemies; soldiers are enemies no one dares to treat as such. The one small way they differ from bandits is that they do not kill quite so lightly. In the jiayin year, when the Three Feudatories rose in revolt, troops on the southern campaign were quartering their horses in Yanzhou Prefecture. Not a chicken, a dog or a house was left untouched, and every woman was raped. It was a time of endless rain, and the water standing in the fields had turned them into lakes. The people had nowhere to hide, so they climbed over the walls into the sorghum. The soldiers found out. They stripped naked, rode their horses into the water, and hunted the women down to rape them. Few got away. Only Zhang’s wife would not hide. She stayed openly at home. She had a kitchen hut. One night she and her husband dug a pit in it several feet deep and heaped it with thatch. Over that they laid a reed screen, with a mat on top, so that it looked like a place to sleep. She went on cooking at the stove. When soldiers came, she went out the door to wait on them. Two Mongol soldiers tried to force her. “How can a thing like this be done in front of someone else?” she said. One of them grinned, jabbered something, and went out. She went into the room with the other and pointed to the mat for him to get on first. The screen snapped and the soldier fell in. She took another mat and another screen and laid them over the pit, then stood at its edge on purpose to lure the next one. Shortly the other came back in. He heard howling from the pit but could not tell where it came from. She beckoned him with a smile. “Over here.” The soldier stepped on the mat and fell in too. Then she threw more firewood in on them and tossed in fire. The fire blazed up and the hut burned. Then she cried for help. When the fire was out, there was a stench of burnt corpses. People asked her about it. “I had two pigs,” she said. “I was afraid the soldiers would get them, so I put them in the pit.” After that she would go several li from the village to a stretch of the highway with no trees at all, and sit there in the blazing sun with her needlework. The village was far from the prefectural city, and the soldiers came mostly on horseback, several passing in a moment. They laughed and jabbered; she understood little of it, but it was mostly teasing. Still, she was close to the road and there was nothing to hide behind, so they always rode on. For several days she came to no harm. One day a soldier came who had no shame at all and wanted to rape her right there in the blazing sun. She smiled and did not resist much. Secretly she pricked his horse with a needle. The horse snorted and neighed, so the soldier tied its reins to his thigh before taking hold of her. She pulled out a large awl and stabbed the horse hard in the neck. The horse bolted in pain and terror. With the reins tied to his thigh, he could not get free. It dragged him dozens of li before his comrades caught it for him. Where his head and body were, no one knew. On the reins, a single thigh was still there, plain to see.
