History in 20
Welcome back to the History in 20 Podcast!
This time we're looking at a hugely influential Chinese character: Zheng He.
Born as a Muslim called Ma He in Yunnan, China in 1371, the future Zheng He grew up and served as Admiral of the Treasure Fleet under the Ming Dynasty in the early fifteenth century.
The Seven Voyages of the Treasure Fleet took Zheng and thousands of Chinese sailors across the Indian Ocean, visiting new locations for the first time, ranging from Thailand to Kenya.
