Battle rules are drafted but not enforced, so court plans stay on paper. Old habits of delay—how can the throne's worry lift? Fuzhou and Shanghai yards have launched steamers; Ma Xinyi, Ding Richang, Ying Gui, and Shen Baozhen must pick sea commanders for year-round drill. Guangdong must ready steamers too; Ruilin and Li Futai are to act in earnest. Recommend officers who know winds, tides, and shoals; even hill men skilled at sea war should be found and promoted.

論曰：穆宗沖齡即阼，母后垂簾。 國運中興，十年之間，盜賊劃平，中外乂安。 非夫宮府一體，將相協和，何以臻茲？ 泊帝親裁大政，不自暇逸。 遇變修省，至勤也。 聞災蠲恤，至仁也。 不言符瑞，至明也。 藉使蘄至中壽，日新而光大之，庸詎不與前古媲隆。 顧乃奄棄臣民，未竟所施，惜哉！
Commentary: Muzong reigned young under a regent empress dowager. The realm revived; in ten years rebels were crushed and all was calm. Without court unity and harmony of generals, how reach this? Once he ruled in person, he allowed himself no leisure. On disaster he examined himself — utmost diligence. Hearing of disaster he remitted and relieved — utmost benevolence. He ignored auspicious omens — utmost clarity. Had he lived to middle age, his daily renewal would have matched the ancients in glory. Yet he died young, his work unfinished — pity indeed!
