Zhang Fu

[1] After Zhu Di crowned the Yongle Emperor, Zhang Fu was granted the title "Count of Xin'an" (信安伯).

He then reported to the emperor that the Trần lineage had been destroyed by Hồ Quý Ly so that there was no successor, and the populace "requested again to be a province of China".

Vietnam was annexed by China again and renamed to Jiaozhi province (Vietnamese: Giao Chỉ).

[2] Later, he put down the rebellion of two Vietnamese princes, Trần Ngỗi and Trần Quý Khoáng successfully,[4] but failed to put down a number of revolts among the Vietnamese people against the Ming authorities.

He was ordered to participate in superintending the compilation of Taizong Shilu, the imperial annals of the Yongle Emperor.
