The fleet led by Zheng He was extremely large, with more than 27,000 personnel and more than 200 ships at its peak, including more than 60 large ships with a length of 148 meters and a width of 18 meters (60 meters).

Anonymous users2024-02-03The background of Zheng He's voyage to the West was the Ming Dynasty. In its early period, the Ming Dynasty advocated closing the country and restricting external cultural exchanges, while actively strengthening internal political, economic, and cultural construction, and Li Yunian devoted himself to consolidating and stabilizing the country. However, when the 20th year of Hongwu (1417), the Yongle Emperor of the Ming Dynasty ordered the fleet to be invested in overseas ** and territorial expansion, which opened the glorious period of "going to the West" in Chinese history.
During this period, China was on the sea, planting the seeds of friendship that transcended cultural and geographical borders.
In addition to this dilemma, the peasant uprising and the intensification of labor-capital contradictions during the decline of the Ming Dynasty led to the destruction of people's livelihood and economic difficulties, and the Ming Dynasty also took some measures to this dilemma, including encouraging entrepreneurs to invest in business and encouraging them to go to sea. As a family of eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty, Zheng He had rich experience in overseas commerce and trade, so he was selected by the Ming Dynasty authorities as the chief envoy to the West, and led the fleet to the Indian Ocean, East Africa and other places to carry out overseas **, cultural exchanges and adventure trips, which promoted cross-strait exchanges and cultural integration, and also opened the door for China to break through cultural barriers.
Seven times. There is such a text in the second volume of the textbook of the fifth grade of primary school, called "Zheng He Goes to the West".
Zheng He's voyage to the West was to point out that Chengzu Zhu Di ordered the eunuch Zheng He of the Three Treasures to anchor from Liujiagang in Taicang (now Liuhe Town, Taicang City, Qinchun, Jiangsu), and led more than 200 ships and more than 10,000 people to sail to the western Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean to visit more than 30 countries and regions, including the Indian Ocean, and had reached more than 30 countries and regions, including Java, Sumatra, Sulu, Pahang, Chenla, Guli, Siam, Punggara, Adan, Tianfang, Zhofar, Kurumus, and Mugudushu, and as far as Heyin, the Red Sea, and Mecca in eastern Africa.
During the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, the national power was strong, and the northern Mongol forces had been expelled beyond the Great Wall, and the state power was quite stable. At this time, Zhu Di began to need to find a way to show the strength of his country, probably Zhu Di wanted to become the "tribute lord" of the world, hoping that overseas countries could come to the Ming Dynasty to pay tribute. So Zhu Di sent Zheng He abroad to summon various countries to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty. >>>More
When Zheng He went to the West, the fleet was basically the most advanced ships at that time, and Zheng He used a total of more than 200 ships when he went to the West, and the types of ships were also very special. Some ships are loaded with **, some ships are loaded with silk, tea, vegetables, etc., and when Zheng He went to the West, a total of 27,000 people were used to accompany him, including soldiers, doctors, sailors, flag soldiers and all kinds of craftsmen, etc., the scale can be said to be very huge. <> >>>More
It definitely doesn't make sense. When Zheng He went to the West, the Ming Dynasty had been established for many years. Zhang Zhicheng's tribe has long been gone, so this sentence is not true.
