1977, Chiang Yee, China Revisited, New York: W. W. Norton & Company, →ISBN, →LCCN, →OCLC, pages 24, 28:After six months of teaching in Shanghai, I was appointed head civil servant of Wuhu County in Anhwei Province. Without much delay, I got the permit to leave and caught a river steamer to Anch’ing first and then to Wuhu. […]
Both Wuhu and Kiukiang Counties had a county court to deal with important legal matters, especially criminal cases. So I was free of that there, but this had not been so in Tan-tou County where I dealt with all legal and criminal cases with the help of a lawyer appointed from the higher court in Anch’ing, the capital of Anhwei Province.
1982, Edward L. Dreyer, “The Rise of the Ming Empire, 1352-1368”, in Early Ming China: A Political History, 1355-1435, Stanford, Cali.: Stanford University Press, →ISBN, →LCCN, →OCLC, page 29:In early 1358 Ch’en Yu-liang captured Anch’ing, and soon afterwards Nanch’ang, the key to central Kiangsi, fell without serious resistance. Ch’en then took the remaining prefectural cities of northern and central Kiangsi and detached a force to invade Fukien (it was Ch’en Yu-ting’s successful resistance to this invasion that led to Yu-ting’s rise to power there). Ch’en Yu-liang’s attempt to invade Chekiang in 1359 was also unsuccessful, but by mid-1359 he was in control of all of Kiangsi except the extreme south, as well as eastern Hupei and the Anch’ing area of Anhwei.
