《明史·列传·卷二百一十》
二十六年六月，巡按御史杨九泽上奏说： 浙江的宁波、绍兴、台州、温州都临海，其地界又与福建的福州、兴州、漳州、泉州各郡相连，常有倭人入侵，虽然设置了卫所城池和巡海副使、备倭都指挥等，但是海盗还是出没无常，两地的官员无法通气摄制，因此制御海盗就很困难。
二十六年六月，巡按御史杨九泽言： 浙江宁、绍、台、温皆滨海，界连福建福、兴、漳、泉诸郡，有倭患，虽设卫所城池及巡海副使、备倭都指挥，但海寇出没无常，两地官弁不能通摄，制御为难。
In the sixth month of the 26th year, the assistant inspecter-in-chief Yang Jiuzhe reported to the emperor that: Ningbo, Shaoxing, Taizhou, and Wenzhou are all located along the coast of Zhejiang Province, and this location is also adjacent to the counties of Fuzhou, Xingzhou, Zhangzhou, and Quanzhou in Fujian Province. There are often Japanese invasions. Although there are garrison fortresses, vice-inspectors for patrolling the sea, and an assistant commander-in-chief for coastal defense, pirates still appear and disappear unpredictably. The officials of both places cannot convey information among themselves or cooperate to deter the pirates, so it is difficult to control them.
