62 large ships were built, 44 feet long and 18 feet wide. From Liu Jiahe, Suzhou to Fujian, from Wumen, Fujian by boat, first to Zhancheng, and then to travel all over the country, reading the imperial edicts to them and giving gifts to local monarchs and leaders. Those who did not surrender were suppressed by force. In September of the fifth year of Yongle, Zheng He and others returned to the Ming Dynasty, and envoys from various countries followed Zheng He's ship and appeared in front of Ming Chengzu. Zheng He, the former governor of Hong Kong, presented his prisoner. Ming Chengzu was very happy, and all the people who went out to sea were rewarded and knighted to varying degrees. Laogang is the former Three Buddhas and Qi State (now the Indonesian Sumatra Megaport), where Sheikh Chen Zuyi plundered the merchants of the past. Zheng He sent someone to read the imperial edict, while Chen Zuyi pretended to surrender, but secretly planned the robbery. Zheng He defeated them, captured Chen Zuyi alive, presented him to the court and executed him in Beijing.
In September of the sixth year of Yongle, Zheng Hai went to Mount Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) again. Alec Kul, King of Mount Ceylon, lured Zheng to China, demanded gold coins, and sent troops to hijack Zheng He's ship. Seeing that most of the enemies had gone out and the country was empty, Zheng He led more than 2,000 people under his jurisdiction to attack their capital by surprise and captured Alec Kuya, his wife, children and officials alive. When the enemies who robbed Zheng He's ship heard about it, they came back to rescue him, and Zheng He's army defeated them again. In June of the ninth year of Yongle, the prisoner appeared in court. The emperor pardoned them, did not execute them, and let them go home freely. At this time, Jiaotoe (now northern Vietnam) was extinct, and the Ming Dynasty took this area as its own county, which shocked all countries even more, and more and more people came to worship.
In November of the tenth year of Yongle, Ming Chengzu sent Zheng He to Suman. Su Ganla, the former pseudo-county king, just secretly murdered Wang Zili as king, resenting Zheng He for not rewarding himself and leading an army to attack Zheng He's loyalist army. Zheng He fought hard to catch up with Nanbaili, captured Suganla alive and captured his wife and son alive. Yongle returned to China in July of 13th year. The emperor was very happy and rewarded the soldiers to varying degrees.
In the winter of Yongle 14, Malaga, Guri and other countries 19 sent envoys to the imperial court to pay tribute. When the envoys of various countries returned, Ming Chengzu sent Zheng He and others to reward the monarchs and leaders of various countries. Yongle returned to China in July 17. In the spring of the nineteenth year of Yongle, he went west again and came back in August the following year. In the first month of the 22nd year of Yongle, Changshi of Jiugang requested to inherit the post of Xuanwei's envoy, and Zheng He presented it with documents and official seals. When I came back, Ming Chengzu was already dead. In February of the first year of Hong, Injong sent Zheng He to the Western Ocean to guard Nanjing. The Nanjing garrison began with Zheng He. In June of the fifth year of Xuande (the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty), the emperor thought it had been a long time since he ascended the throne, but foreign countries far away from China still didn't come to pay homage, so Zheng He and Zhu Jinghong were ordered to come back after 17 countries.
Zheng He * * * served three generations of emperors and was ordered to go to the Western Ocean seven times, passing through Zhancheng, Java, Zhenla, Jiugang, Siam, Guri, Malaga, Bonai, Sumatra, Aru, Kezhi, Grand Gulen, Little Gulen, Xizori, Zori, Gael, Ababadan and Nanuri. I brought back countless treasures without names, but China also wasted a lot of money. After Xuande, distant countries often sent messengers, but they were far less than Yongle. Zheng He was old and dying. Since Zheng He, no one who has been ordered to go overseas has praised Zheng He for showing off abroad. Therefore, it was a great event in the early Ming Dynasty that the eunuch Sambo went to the West.
Wang Bi, named Meng Duan, is from Wuxi. He is knowledgeable, good at writing poems and calligraphy, and he paints mountains, trees and bamboos best. Before becoming an official, Wang Bi became friends with Han Yi, a Wu native, and lived in seclusion in Jiulong Mountain, so he called himself a native of Jiulong Mountain. For calligraphy, we always compare ourselves with the ancients. He doesn't paint easily, but he is in a mood to visit. When drinking rose, he picked up a pen and dripped it on the promenade and walls. Anyone who has money to buy paintings gets up and leaves home, or closes the door and refuses to let anyone in, even if it is a rich and powerful family. When someone advised him, Wang Bi said, "A gentleman depends on the people he keeps. If the plot is light, what should he do if it is serious! " When Wang Bi was in Beijing, he heard the flute playing under the moon and drew a picture of Dianthus on a whim. After dawn, he visited the flute player and gave him the painting. Turned out to be a businessman. The man also gave him a red carpet and asked him to draw another one to match the picture. Elvis asked for the painting, tore up the previous painting and gave it back to the businessman as a gift. One day when he retired from the DPRK, the Duke Mu Sheng of Guizhou called his word (Meng Duan) behind his back, but Wang Bi didn't answer. His listed officials told him, "This is the Duke of Money." Wang Bi said, "It's not like I didn't hear you. He must have asked me for it! " Musheng walked up to him and asked him to draw. Wang Shen just nodded. A few years later, Mu Sheng began to write again, and Elvis Presley began to paint for him. Soon he said, "It is not appropriate for me to send the painting directly to the Duke of Guizhou. Ping Zhongwei, the guest of the Duke of Guizhou, is my friend. I will give it to Ping Zhongwei for my friend, and then I will ask him for it. " His lofty and free from vulgarity has reached this point.
