Zheng He, formerly known as Ma He, was Maha's second son. Zheng He has four sisters. During the Jingnan Rebellion, Ma He made a meritorious military service for Judy, the Prince of Yan, in Zhengzhou, Hebei Province (now Renqiu, Hebei Province, not Zhengzhou, Henan Province, and now Dongba Village, Beijing). In the second year of Yongle (1404), in order to commemorate his meritorious service, Ming Taizu gave Ma and Zheng two surnames in Nanjing Imperial Book, which was called Zheng He in history.

Extended information Zheng He's early experience is unknown. Presumably, he was captured by the Ming army in the Pingming-Yunnan War. He went to Peiping with Fu Youde and others in 1385, and later worked for Yan. Later, because of his meritorious service in the battle of Jingnan, he was given the surname Zheng and was promoted to the eunuch of the inner official.

Zheng He was resourceful, knowing the soldiers and learning to fight. From 1405 to 1433, Zheng He made seven voyages to the Western Ocean, which made great achievements in human history. Zheng He went to the Western Ocean for the seventh time and died in Guri on 1433 (the eighth year of Xuande). The ashes were buried in the underground palace of Hongjue Temple in Nanjing, and now it is the tomb of Zheng He or its cenotaph in Niushou Mountain in Nanjing.

Zheng He's mission is to establish friendly relations with western countries and create a good international environment. After Zheng He came to Nanyang, he warned those "belligerent and aggressive" island countries: "Be polite, obey the rules, and don't disobey; Don't bully widows, don't bully the weak. " "I'm afraid if I don't accept it," so "I dare not disobey any orders."

Those countries that are "strong in customs, expert in strongmen" and good at "invading and plundering their neighbors" have to give up their armies. At the same time, Zheng He started from advocating Buddhism or spreading Islam, trying to make people in relevant regions and countries have unified religious beliefs.

This will play an important role in balancing the relationship between countries and alleviating the tension between countries caused by religious beliefs and other issues. In addition, Zheng He helped small and weak ethnic groups through publicity and education, suppressed violence, and contributed to the establishment of a peaceful situation among countries.

During Zheng He's voyage to the West, he made unremitting efforts to solve the contradictions among Southeast Asian countries and establish a peaceful situation between Asian and African countries, and achieved great success. With the gradual settlement of various complex contradictions among overseas countries, "the sea lanes are clear and peaceful, and many people rely on them to settle down."

Zheng He's military talent was embodied in the battle of Jingnan. During Zheng He's voyage to the Western Ocean, he successively directed the plot to wipe out the pirate Chen Zuyi, the plot to crush Wang Yalie's Kunel in Ceylon, and the war to capture Sumatra's Suganla alive. In three battles, he adopted corresponding tactics according to different environmental conditions and won all the battles.
