Why did Zheng He's voyage to the Western Ocean, which made money, end?

Behind Zheng He's voyage to the West is the struggle between the Conservative Party and the Progressive Party in ancient China for thousands of years.

Fortunately, Zheng He was neither a conservative nor a radical. He was an emperor's party, and with the support of the tough emperor, he made seven voyages to the Western Ocean.

Most ancient literati were pedantic and ignorant. They are short-sighted and only pay attention to those "sage books", and they will only look for answers in those books if they have any questions.

When people ask them, they will only talk like walking dead.

Take chestnuts for example. During the Chenghua period, Chiao Toe (Vietnam) rebelled and the emperor wanted to take it back. Which ministers think that it is not the practice of the Ming army to use the knife without authorization, and claim that Annan (the name of Jiao Zhi after the founding of the People's Republic of China) has expressed his willingness to be a country of Daming and should not send troops to confront it. And burned the only map of Annan-the map of Annan drawn during Yongle period. It is said that later, they also burned the structural diagram of Zheng He's treasure ship and Zheng He's hydrographic diagram, which recorded the customs of various countries, in order to prevent the emperor from resuming navigation.

They can't tolerate a little change. The ideal country in their minds is "the emperor is in charge of state affairs" (the emperor is in charge of the imperial city and the minister is in charge of governing the country), and a very, very high wall is built around China, leaving only a small door to pay tribute to China. The people in the wall are "simple" people who have no education and can only work.

What I want to say is that Zheng He's fleet was dissolved not because it cost too much money, nor because it would lead to disaster, but because the ministers in the DPRK could not change it, because it was different from the country in their hearts!

Why do you want to close the door? Is it really because of Japanese pirates? Can we really "lock" the coastline? Lock up and the enemy will be gone?

They just "locked in" which heresy theories, which barbarians brought plunder, and also brought different theories from Confucianism, and heresy could not spread here.

This is why Daming never set sail after Zheng He, and why there are contradictory records of "spending hundreds of thousands of taels of silver" and "countless treasures".

The Ming dynasty was an era when emperors and civilian groups ruled the world, so civilian groups had their own interests, which were not very consistent with those of ordinary people. They are called emperors and literati to rule the world, not emperors and ordinary people.

You know, the literati of the Ming Dynasty did not need to pay taxes and labor, and most of them were in business.

In fact, the maritime commerce of the Ming Dynasty did not end after Zheng He. In the middle of Ming Dynasty, there was a big smuggler Yang (mainly smuggling weapons), and in the later period, father and son monopolized Southeast Asia. Of course, except Zheng Chenggong, who later helped Daming, other Ming dynasties were not good. In the hearts of the Japanese, there is still a heroic woman, Rainbow Trejo Li Huamei. . . Pirates. .

So it's not that you don't make money, but it's different from the literati's idea. Reformers and conservatives have always been like this.

Alas. . . . .

Under the cannon of Eight-Nation Alliance, the city wall collapsed, and it was just a joke that China went to the country.
