唐廣明中，湖南饑，盜賊起，滿與同里人區景思、周嶽等聚諸蠻數千，獵於大澤中，乃擊鮮釃酒，擇坐中豪者，補置伍長，號土團軍，諸蠻從之，推滿為帥。 In the Guangming era famine gripped Hunan and outlaws multiplied. Man, Qu Jingsi, Zhou Yue, and others rallied thousands of hill folk, hunted the great marshes, feasted on fresh kill and strong wine, named the fiercest men squad leaders, and called the band the Native Corps. The tribes followed, and Man became their chief.
