Why Zheng He s voyage to China failed to dominate China

He went to the West is a special operation with the support of Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, the purpose of which is to promote national prestige, strengthen diplomatic ties, and enhance China's status in Asia, there are two unspeakable reasons behind it, one is to find the whereabouts of Emperor Jianwen, who disappeared in the Battle of Jingjing, to prevent him from escaping to the sea, and the other is that Zheng He himself is a believer in Islam, so the seventh time he went to the West, he came to Mecca to worship, and died on the way home.

The purpose of Zheng He's voyage to the West was not to invade, but to promote national prestige!! So Mu Yu said that he was a hero!!

Because it is not for the purpose of dominating the West.

Zheng He's trip to the West was just a friendly diplomatic relationship and a promotion of national prestige, without a hint of aggression.

An important reason: the motive of the Yongle Emperor at that time to send Zheng He to the sea was not to be to be dominant, and it is said that there are two reasons.

1, in order to find his nephew, Emperor Jianwen.

2, as a usurper emperor in the hearts of the Chinese, in order to increase his influence, so that foreign countries can consider him orthodox.

Zheng He went to the West to hand over all the wealth to the emperor, and the people did not benefit, so the people lost money, and after Zhu Di's death, he was not in progress, so China failed to dominate.

Dear, what you want to say is "why did Zheng He sail away, and China did not dominate"?

Dear, we call it friendly diplomacy, just to promote national prestige, not to plunder anything.

Also, there is a theory that Ming Chengzu wanted to find his little nephew Zhu Yunwen, whose whereabouts were unknown, and heard that he was living there.

Because Zheng He was a eunuch, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was worried about his dominance, so Zheng He was not promoted again at that time.

Zheng He's voyage was to promote the prestige of the Ming Dynasty, not to be like the British.

Zheng He only wants to promote the prestige of the country, and he is only seen by his large scale and large number of people.

Preaching national prestige, not wanting to invade, it's all giving away things.

The hard work is far away, and the wise do not take it.

More than 600 years ago, when the whole of Europe was still sleeping in the Middle Ages, the Ming Dynasty of China, from the third year of Yongle to the sixth year of Xuande (1405-1433), Zheng He led a huge ocean-going fleet, seven times before and after, sailed to the Western Ocean, as far as Africa, leaving a glorious page in China's foreign cultural exchanges and the history of world navigation, and was a well-deserved maritime hegemon.

However, it is regrettable that since then, the Chinese's ocean-going navigation has come to an incredible abrupt halt just like the law that the feudal dynasty must flourish and decline, and what is even more terrifying is that Chinese society has become increasingly closed and conservative, losing the first historical opportunity to stir up with world culture.

In fact, it did not end abruptly, and there was a debate about the necessity of Zheng He's trip to the West from the beginning. It's just that with Zhu Di's strong support, Zheng He was selected and executed seven times. The main reason for the cessation of Zheng He's voyage to the West was that Confucianism had become the dominant ideology.

Di's death represents the death of China's last feudal emperor with a world heart. Before Zheng He's death, he was already considered by the imperial court to be the representative of the eunuch rebellion, and he spent too much money on going to the West several times, and thousands of people died of illness. In fact, it doesn't matter whether Zheng He died of illness or not, the key is that times have changed.

Zheng He was excluded from the eunuch system, and at the same time, Zheng He's long-term absence from Zhu Di became more and more distant, which caused Zheng He to stay away from the center of power and his power base: the eunuch group. For example, when Zhu Di was in power, the internal officials and eunuchs were the first eunuchs, and Zheng He was outside for a long time, and the growth of the internal power of other yamen and internal officials and eunuchs was beyond his control.

Therefore, the status of celebrants and supervisors has risen, and the power of internal officials and supervisors has declined.

On the contrary, the opening up of Europe had a powerful impetus – a desire and opportunity for profit, and the interests of merchants and their overseas ventures were supported by the royal family. There was a trading relationship between the two: the royal family gave the adventurers commissions, authorizations and even certain financial support, and they had to transport all the plundered gold and silver to the official office for stamping, registering their ownership, and paying taxes at a rate of one-fifth.

In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the court will be in vain, and Jiajing Wanli will not delay governance if he does not go to court.

1.Zheng He's treasure ship carried many treasures each time, and gave them to each visiting king as a "gift". And many countries also sent envoys or the emperor himself, on Zheng He's treasure ship and brought their country's special treasures, back to the Ming capital to pay tribute.

2.With the help of this voyage, the Mazu faith spread to the countries of the South Seas. This is the most noteworthy aspect of Western culture, and it is also the one that has influenced it to this day.

In short, it has promoted the cultural and economic progress of other countries.

In the long-term impact, the most important of Zheng He's overseas political interventions in the West was to manipulate the Strait of Malacca (the main route between China and the sea**), and chose to support the bandit leader Bari Misura, who was awarded the national seal and imperial robe in 1409. Baili Misura personally paid tribute to China, making his stronghold in the marshes of Malacca an increasingly prosperous and prosperous commercial center.

There are two reasons for this:

1. Zheng He has been able to bear hardships and stand hard work since he was a child;

2. Since the Song and Yuan dynasties, China's shipbuilding industry has developed and can build huge sea ships.

The first voyage in human history.
