其年冬，甫視事，張士誠自高郵率衆渡江，直抵城下，攻圍甚急。 That winter, just as he assumed office, Zhang Shicheng led his forces from Gaoyou across the Yangzi, came straight to the city walls, and laid siege with great urgency.

士誠既納降，江浙行省丞相達識帖睦邇，以便宜授師泰兩浙都轉運鹽使。 After Zhang Shicheng submitted, Dashi Timur, chancellor of the Jiangzhe Branch Secretariat, appointed Shitai by discretionary authority Commissioner of Salt Transport for the Two Zhe circuits.
