It is said that after Judy robbed his nephew of his throne, his nephew just disappeared out of thin air. No one can live or die, but Judy is worried. He is afraid that this nephew will come back to fight for the throne with himself one day. He is not bad, except that his nephew can't control himself, but he is much older than his nephew. The nephew waited until he died, and then he appeared again. So can his son and grandson handle him?
The purpose of Judy's voyage to the West.
This is a problem. For the long-term stability of the Ming Empire, Judy began to search for the whereabouts of Zhu Yunwen all over the country. Later, under the surveillance of spies, Zhu Yunwen probably fled the Ming Dynasty by boat. Judy wants to send someone overseas to look for it. After all, it is the blood of the Ming Dynasty. No matter how afraid he is, he can't let Zhujiajian's blood be exiled.
Of course, this is only a small reason. The bigger reason is that Judy wants to make friends with overseas countries to improve his achievements. But who is allowed to visit the country? Judy turned her attention to Zheng He, the eunuch of Sanbao who had served him all her life. To say that this eunuch Sambo is really loyal to himself, Judy can't bear to let him stay with him all his life to serve others, so one day he said to Sambo, I will send you overseas to promote Daming's friendship with his neighbors. Would you like to? ? Sanbao eunuch knelt down and thanked the emperor for his kindness. Later, the emperor named him Zheng He, and Zheng He's first ocean voyage was about to begin.
Why did Judy choose Zheng He?
Of course, on the one hand, Zheng He knew that he wanted to go to sea, on the other hand, he also said that he would try his best to find it. Zheng He has always followed Judy, so he naturally learned a lot of military talents and even talked about military affairs with Judy. Judy is not only because of his loyalty, but also because of his flexibility and intelligence.
However, after all, it is necessary to listen to the opinions of officials before sending a eunuch as an official. Judy asked many officials whether Zheng He could lead the mission, and most of them agreed. After all, Zheng He's personal evaluation is good. He stays out of politics and works hard. He is a eunuch who is more popular with officials.
Zheng He was in war, but he successfully established diplomatic relations with Java.
Judy built many great ships with ocean-going ability and sent nearly 20 thousand soldiers to follow her. The fleet entered the Pacific Ocean in great strides. The first place to visit was Zhancheng, and now it is a city in Vietnam. Interestingly, the first place where Zheng He had an accident was attacked by military forces. At that time, Southeast Asia was still fighting among tribes, and West Java and East Java were fighting each other. West Java successfully defeated East Java, which was very inflated at that time.
Zheng He's fleet landed in this area, ready to start visiting and trading. Who knows that the king of West Java thought Zheng He was a foreign invader and killed hundreds of people. When the officers and men of the fleet heard about it, they flew into a rage and prepared to lead the troops to criticize. Who knows Zheng He stopped them, took the initiative to return to the boat, and sent someone to explain the situation to the king. When the king of West Java heard about it, he was very sorry. He gave a grand reception to Zheng He and his party and sent many local specialties.
Zheng He conquered overseas countries such as Sumatra and Ceylon.
Zheng He went to Sumatra, Ceylon and other countries and met with local leaders. Zheng He's polite performance made these countries love Daming very much, and also opened the channel for Daming's trade with these countries. At first, it was smooth sailing, but when the ship arrived at the old port area, Chen Zuyi, the local pirate leader, saw countless gold, silver and jewels on Daming's fleet, and his heart was full of bad thoughts. He thinks he has many people and is good at water warfare. It is not easy to wipe out Zheng He and his party.
But to be on the safe side, Chen Zuyi pretended to surrender to Zheng He and said that he was originally from the Central Plains and never wanted to be a pirate again. Zheng He's IQ is not low. After following Judy for so many years, he saw through the trick of pretending to surrender at a glance. Therefore, Zheng He also pretended to let their fleet approach him. When Chen Zuyi thought it was safe to approach, Zheng He directly let the cannon of the fleet explode, and Chen Zuyi's ship was directly sunk by ten artillery shells, and the rest were tattered. Chen Zuyi was caught by Daming in this way, and the pirate chaos in this area was put down.
When local people saw this wonderful naval battle, they all praised Zheng He's fleet as a heavenly teacher and praised Zheng He in succession. Zheng He also visited the local people. Through equal-value trade, they got the crops and handicrafts that the people worked so hard to grow, while Zheng He left money and food in exchange.
Zheng He rested here for a few days and then continued his journey. The final destination is Guri Kingdom. After his first trip to the Western Ocean, Zheng He and his party returned to Daming. When Zheng He's fleet returned, Daming's people and officials were boiling. For the first time, Zheng He felt this honor admired by thousands of people. He became a hero, and Judy, the Yongle emperor, was very satisfied with Zheng He and said to him, You are really my favorite. ?
Zheng He's voyages to the West promote the development of overseas trade.
Judy has always regarded Zheng He as her general. Zheng He has moved boxes of overseas products, including many unknown fruits and vegetables in the Ming Dynasty. Zheng He also used the ice room preservation method to keep many fresh fruits and vegetables fresh and tender. Not only that, Zheng He brought back the credentials of many countries, and they expressed their willingness to trade with the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, in the late Yongle period, many of the treasures of melons and fruits in the palace came from some countries where Zheng He went to the West to pay tribute.
Zheng He rested for a few days, and then he went to visit other countries with great vigour. This time, Judy was very generous and specially loaded silk, gold and silver jewelry from two big ships for Zheng He's trip to the West. Zheng He forged a deep friendship with the generals and soldiers of the fleet on his first voyage to the West. At first, the soldiers thought that Zheng He was the eunuch leading them, but when Zheng He defeated Chen Zuyi, the soldiers were sincerely proud of this hero.
Equally proud are not only the soldiers, but also the leaders of overseas countries who visited for the first time, especially the leaders of Java. After the first misunderstanding, the king and Zheng He forged a profound friendship, and the king also made a special trip to set up an epitaph for 100 soldiers of the Ming army who were killed by mistake.
Zheng He took control of the capital of Ceylon and seized the king.
After sailing for another two years, Zheng He returned to China, but even a beard grew on Zheng He's face, which surprised Judy. The same Zheng He didn't stay long, and the third visit began again. Everything went well at first, but in the mountainous area of Ceylon, the local king felt that Zheng He's fleet was full of gold, silver and jewels, and he had evil thoughts and wanted to destroy Zheng He.
So the whole country used all the main forces to contain Zheng He's fleet by land, and Zheng He's fleet fell into the fate of being besieged. The soldiers became anxious after adding this commotion for a long time. Zheng He stood at the bow of the boat and said to the soldiers: The main force of the bandits will be exhausted, so the country will be empty. Since we are underestimated, we will give them some color to see see. ? Zheng He sent generals to capture the capital, took control of the capital of Mount Ceylon with just over 2,000 people, and captured the king. Finally, Ceylon Mountain reluctantly let Zheng He and others leave, and the king never dared to provoke Daming's fleet after this battle.
When Zheng He went to the Western Ocean for the fourth time, he encountered military action. Interestingly, the soldiers were so used to it that they even jokingly asked Zheng He what to do after defeating them. Zheng He smiled, too. Because this area is Sumatra, some local civilian armed forces also took a fancy to Zheng He's fleet, so they overreached and prepared to destroy Zheng He.
Who knows that Zheng He defeated the rebels with only a few simple military actions and brought their boss back to the capital. Because of this war, many countries felt that the Ming Dynasty was the world hegemon and naturally had to deal with the rebels. The international influence of Zheng He's voyages to the West completely raised the Ming Dynasty to a new height, and even brought great international prestige to the Ming Dynasty.
final result
Zheng He's successive voyages to the Western Seas are nothing more than to consolidate relations, and no country will ever challenge Zheng He's strength again. After Zheng He went to the Western Seas, he designed a dragon boat, which raised the navy of the Ming army to a new height, and the emperor changed from Judy to Zhu Zhanji. Zhu Zhanji admired this Sambo eunuch very much, and made many attempts to make peace, which improved Daming's national prestige and promoted trade exchanges.
After his sixth voyage to the West, Zheng He also retired completely. Many old people who followed him to the West were willing to stay with Zheng He to wait on him, and there were many of them. Finally Zheng He gave up because he didn't want to be disturbed by others.
In his later years, Zheng He was requisitioned again. Xuanzong hoped that he would go to the Western Ocean for the seventh time, and Zheng He agreed. This time, the man died comfortably on the boat. It is said that many old people who followed Zheng He at that time knew that after Zheng He's death, many people cried, and the ocean-going ships of the Ming Dynasty all returned to the Ming Dynasty in grief, and the eunuchs who devoted their lives to the Ming Dynasty were also regarded as the funeral of the Ming Dynasty.
