The Ming Dynasty’s Age Of Navigation

The Ming Dynasty had the most powerful fleet in the world at the time. It had opened the ocean door to the world long before Portugal and Spain.
However, after Zheng He's seven voyages to the Western Ocean, the imperial court chose to close the seas and abandon the global hegemony that was within reach.
If——
Zheng He did not return,
Ming Dynasty not only promoted its national prestige, but also set up trading stations, built forts, grabbed routes, and did business...
It was China that really took the lead in launching global colonial trade!
What will the world look like?
Will China become an Eastern empire that dominates the oceans and sweeps across the five oceans?
This is a grand hypothesis about "the Ming Dynasty dominated the Age of Discovery",
a maritime version of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms",
a maritime epic that truly belongs to the East!
Written to every Chinese who is unwilling to have the world written by others!
