In this episode of The History of China, Lucas and Luna dive into the extraordinary voyages of the Ming dynasty's treasure fleets, led by the eunuch admiral Zheng He. We explore the sheer scale of the ships—the baochuan, or treasure ships, were larger than anything Europe would build for centuries—and the political forces that drove Emperor Yongle to sponsor seven epic expeditions across the Indian Ocean. The discussion covers the fleet's route from Nanjing to Malacca, Calicut, Hormuz, and even Mogadishu, the tribute system that brought exotic giraffes and zebras to the Forbidden City, and the abrupt end of the voyages after Yongle's death. We also examine the destruction of the shipbuilding records by later Confucian officials and the lingering controversy over whether Zheng He reached the Americas. The episode highlights the interplay between maritime power, eunuch bureaucracy, and the shifting priorities of the Ming court. #ZhengHe #MingDynasty #TreasureFleets #IndianOcean #YongleEmperor #Baochuan #MaritimeHistory #EunuchAdmirals #ChineseExploration #EastAsia #History #FexingoHistory #MingMaritime #TributeSystem #Calicut #Malacca #Hormuz #Mogadishu Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
