Hello, I am Zheng He and today I will be telling you about my role in Chinese history. Early Ming rulers sent Chinese fleets into distant waters to show glory of government. And I was the commanding Admiral on one of those ships one the first expedition in 1405. Sailng by my side were sixty-two large ships and 200 smallers ships. The goal in this expedition was to promote trade and collect tribute from lesser powers. From 1405-1433 I explored the coasts of Southeast Asia and India. But, the exploration all end in the year of my death 1435. Wednesday, October 20, 2010
