Malacca Strait，It is also translated as the Ma Liujia Strait (English: Strait of Malacca; Malay: Selat Melaka)，It is one of the world -renowned straits。Although this strait has a long history，But for a long time, it has been unknown。International habit is called the Strait as Malacca，Because the strait is named after Malaka in the famous international trade port，Malacca)，That is, Malacca City, Malacca State, Malacca, Malaysia。Malacca is a transliteration of Manjiaga，Come from Managa，It is the strait special name。Malacca Strait is famous in the world，Starting from the rise of the kingdom of the kingdom in the early 15th century，After its rise, it gradually become an important international trade port city。The rise of the Malacca Strait is inseparable from the rise of the Manchu Kingdom，The rise of Manchuka Kingdom has a close relationship with Zheng He's seven to the West，But，For a long time，There are only five times to the West to the West to Manjia in the seven times of Zheng He。Malaysian National Museum's outer wall murals are painted with Chinese sea ships，The word "Zheng" on the board，"1409" next to it。This obviously refers to Zheng He's third time in the West，Arrived in Manjia in 1409。How many times did Zheng He's seven times reach Manjia? This is the key issue of understanding the relationship between Zheng He and the kingdom of Manchua，History records in the Ming Dynasty are often missing，Make doubt points heavy，No comprehensive investigation and analysis have not been obtained so far。The key point of the problem is，Zheng He first went to the West，Whether it is possible to make it as a seal of the Manchu Kajia、What about the monument of Wang Wang? I will do a comprehensive test in this way。

Analysis from time，The possibility of Zheng He first went to the West to go to the Manchu Kaji seal king。During the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty，Among the 30 countries in the Ming Dynasty, there is no Manba country in the 30 countries。Manchuka is the first time in Chinese historical records，October in the first year of Yongle (1403)，At that time, Emperor Yongle sent internal officers Yin Qing, "赍 赍 赍 谕 剌 剌、Ke Zhi country。Give the Bet365 lotto review king of the king to sell the golden tent and umbrella,And Jin Weiwenqi、Color silk is poor "(" Ming Taizong Real Record "Volume 23)。Yongle September，Manchuka chief Parameswara sent a ambassador to Sui Yin Qing to the Ming Dynasty。Byli Mi Sui was sent as a chief at the time，The Ming Dynasty then "named the king，Give the seal，Please please because of the envoys of the country and ministers，Give Manchu and Kaiguo Town Guoshan Bei inscription，Emperor Yongle also made a monument ("Ming Taizong Real Records" Volume 46; "Zhengde Da Ming Code" Volume 98。The establishment of the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and the Manchua Kaga was completed by Yin Qing，However, we noticed that Yin Qing did not go to the Man of Manjiaka Guo,，So who is the first time that the person who is the first time to seal the Manchu Kajia becomes the key to the problem。

Look at Zheng He down the West，Chinese and foreign scholars generally think，Zheng He's first time in the West did not have a direct relationship with Manjia, the reason is not consistent in time。"Mingshi Record" records that Yongle three years of June Emperor sent Zheng He to send Zheng He for the first time to go to the West，This seems to have a lack of contact with the incident of the Manchu Kings after September，But considering that the day of the next time and the time of departure is a period of distance，Zheng He goes to Manchuka for his chief sealing king.。Zheng He's first departure time of the west has history, such as，But according to "Mingshi Record"，Five years of Xuande (1430) in June, Zheng He's seventh time to the Western presence was also on June，The same month with Zheng He's first westward award month，And Zheng He's seventh time to go to the west to departure，But in "Five Years of Xuande December 6"，In fact, it is already the beginning of the year ("Ming Xuanzong Record" Volume 67; Zhu Yunming: "Previous News")。Inference this inference，Zheng He may have the same timetable for the first time to go down to the West，There is no problem that he passed by his envoy of the Manchu and Canada.。In the Ming Dynasty literature, there was no record of Manchu to return to China to return to China for the first time，It is not known for those who send them to return to China，They may be the first time with Zheng He's first go to the Western fleet to return to China，Exist that Zheng He is the positive ambassador，Give the seal when it first goes to bet365 best casino games the west，The possibility of building a monument to the city in Manjia。

　　The law of navigation is inevitable

According to the navigation law of ancient monsoon flow，Zheng He first went to the West to reach Manjia, existing inevitability。The direction of Zheng He's lower Western route is undoubtedly affected by the monsoon flow。According to Ma Huan's "Ya Ya Shenglian · Manchu and Canada" record，Zheng He's route to the West，The first stop is in Zhancheng，"From Zhancheng to Zhengnan，Good Wind Boat Walk to Longya Gate for 8 days，Getting Starting to the Southwest can be available for two days。The old is not called the country here，Because the name of Wuyu because of the sea "。It can be seen first to Longya Gate and then to Wuyu，I arrived at Manjia。Longya Gate is the Selat Panikam (Selat Panikam)，This name is Keppel Harbour，Because there are mountains standing like dragon teeth on both sides of the west entrance，Therefore, there is this name (Ma Huan，Wanming School Note: "Ming Ben" Badya Sheng Lan "School Note"，Guangdong People's Publishing House 2018 edition)。

Malacca Strait Study Traffic Road，It is the cross point of the seasonal wind of the Indian Ocean and the South China Sea and the Java Sea，In the sailing era，The monsoon ocean current plays an inestimable power function。On the Indian Ocean，The Northeast Xinfeng in the Asian continent in winter，The southwest monsoon blowing from the Indian Ocean to the mainland in the summer，formed a "monsoon circulation" unique to the North India Ocean。early 15th century，Zheng He seven times to the West，Every time I set off in winter，Back to the summer，It is the clever use of the law of monsoon flow。Manchuka is the place where the fleet is waiting for the wind and sailing to return to China，Therefore, Zheng He established an official factory in Manjia，Gathering goods，Waiting for Fengshun to return to China，Later, the mystery of Manjia's prosperity is also here。According to Mingren Zhu Yunming's "Reporter", Zheng He's seventh detailed voyage of the West，According to the law of the monsoon flow，The west to the end of the ocean will go through the Manchu plus，Store time at Manjiaqi。Therefore, Zheng He seven times to the west seven times to reach Manjaga is inevitable。

　Determination in the record

According to Zheng He's first historical facts to go to the west for the first time，We can determine that it has bet365 best casino games reached Manjia in the old port，And we found the record of Zheng He in the Ming Dynasty's literature for the first time to go to the West from Manchu to return to China。

China from the South China Sea to the Indian Ocean，Must pass through the Malacca Strait area，In the inscription of "The God of the Sky Concubine" in Zheng He and others，It is clear that the first time the first go to the west is Gu Li。One of the important contents of the first time to go to the West is to capture Chen Zuyi in the old port，The navigation route is to go to the old port first，Then go to Manjia，There is "The End of the End of the End of the Poems" as the proved: "Mother -in -law goes to the West，Three Buddhas Qi Ling Wuyu "(Ma Huan，Wanming School Note: "Ming Ben" The End of the End of the Watch "School Note")。At that time, the ancient names of the ancient names existed in the old port country，Fei Xin "Star Wins and Manchu Kaiguo" records: "It is not known as a country where it is called，Starting from the old port，Shunfeng Eight Days and Nights "(Fei Xinzhang，Feng Chengjun School Note "Star Wins"，Zhonghua Book Company 1954 edition)。Ma Huan "Old Port State": "Old Port Country，That is, the three Buddhas of the ancient names are also。Name 浡 淋，It is under the jurisdiction of Java。East connected Java Realm，West to Manchu and Canada "(Ma Huan，Wanming School Note: "Ming Ben" The End of the End of the Watch "School Note")。Old ports in the southeast of Sumatra Island, Indonesia today，Palembang (Palembang)。According to geographical location，After Zheng He first went to the West to capture pirate Chen Zuyi in the old port，Old port to Manjia is logical。The most important thing is，Although the monuments of "Mingshi Record" and "The God of the Sky Concubine" did not record the first time to go to the west to Manjia，But when Zheng He returned to China for the first time in September of Yongle，"Mingshi Record" records "Time Eunuch Zheng He Zhao Gu Li、Manchu and Fanfu Country "，This is undoubtedly the precise record of Zheng He's first time to reach Manchuka ("Ming Taizong Record" Volume 76。

What needs to be specifically explained here is，Pirates in the strait area where Manchuka is located for a long time。The Malacca Strait before the 15th century，Not only does it not be famous，and is a dangerous area at sea。The Yuan Dynasty Wang Dayuan's "Island Yizhi" records the condition of the Malacca Strait before the 15th century，Mainly in the record of "Dragon Dragon Gate"，"Ship to the West，Don't ask for this time。On the Bet365 lotto review occasion of returning to the boat，To Geelymen，Ship people must drive arrow shed，Zhang curtain，For the Defense of the Equipment。Two or three hundred thieves will come to welcome，Rival several days。If you are lucky to go smoothly，or if you don't meet。Otherwise, human be artificial，The goods are all，Then people die in the moment of the moment "(Wang Dayuan，Su Jiyu School Explanation: "Shimizhi Strategy School Interpretation"，Zhonghua Book Company 1981 edition)。Longya Gate，That is now the Singapore Strait mouth，It is a channel to enter the Malacca Strait。This can be seen，At that time, the Malacca Strait was the place where the pirates were out，It is a veritable maritime dangerous area。Pirate activities are a major factor affecting shipping safety。Pirate activities in the Malacca Strait area at the end of the Yuan Dynasty increased frequently，Zheng He first went to the West to pass through the Malacca Strait area，Start the activity of pirates，Capture pirate Chen Zuyi，Clear obstacles at sea for the Malacca Strait。From this，The Malacca Strait area has begun to establish a response mechanism for pirate activities，It is conducive to the unblocked seaway in the Malacca Strait area，It is also conducive to the formation of the development environment of the Manchu Kingdom。

　　The ambiguity of historical materials leads to the old theory

Possibilities above、Motentity and certainty analyzed，Finally, let's discuss why there is the saying of "Zheng He's five times in the festivals"，and analyze and debate this。Ma Huan, who once followed Zheng He's go to the West、Feixin's writing，All clearly record that Zheng He has bet365 best casino games reached Manjia in the third time in the West。Ma Huan's "Ya Ya Sheng Lan · Manchu Kaiguo": "Yongle seven years of ugly，Life is making the eunuch Zheng He and so on.、Crown Robe、Building a monument city，Sui name Manchu Kaiguo "(Ma Huan，Wanming School Note: "Ming Ben" The End of the End of the Watch "School Note")。Feixin "Star Shenglian · Manchu and Canada": "Seven Years of Yongle，The Emperor's Life is making the eunuch Zheng He and others holding，Give double silver marks、Crown Robe、Building a monument city，For Manchu Canada "(Fei Xinzheng，Feng Chengjun School Note "Star Wins")。The time for the clouds is Yongle seven years，When Zheng He went to the West for the third time。This is exactly the source of Zheng He's five times that Zheng He has reached Manjia.。But the doubts exist are: in Ma Huan Bet365 lotto review records，Late until this time，Byli Misako still calls "head"，and "Ming Shilu" before Yongle for three years "named the king，The record of giving a seal "obviously cannot be combined，and Yongle three years in October Yongle, the "Town Mountain Storu" of the Grand State of Yongle，It seems that it is impossible to only four years later from Zheng He to Manchua。

Therefore，We believe that the historical facts of the two printed kings of the Ming Dynasty were given to Manchuka，Yongle three years Zheng He has been in the West for the first time, and the king has been sealed，After the five years of Yongle, the Manchu and Canada Seal was captured by Siam ("Ming Taizong Record" Volume 72)，Therefore, there is another seven years of Yongle's seven years to go to the west again。"Ming Taizong Record" and "Zhengde Da Ming Code" are all official authoritative descriptions，Remember that Yongle's three years of sealed 剌 剌 should be correct，The question should be in Ma Huan、Fisin and others' writings。Ma Huan and others take the personal experience of the Western people in the academic community，But Ma Huan followed the fourth time that he followed Zheng He for sailing，Feixin has followed the third time to follow Zheng He for sailing，Their writings are private compilation。Therefore，Their incidents that happened before，That is, the Yin Yin, who was the first time in Yongle in the three years of Yongle, was taken away by Siam in the five years of Yongle.，To Zheng He's third time in the West (Yongle Seven Years), I went to the archives of the King of Manjiaka again，It is impossible to understand exactly。We used to be fascinated by their personal experience，No considering the first before Zheng He's third time to the west、For the second time to the West，Not a person。So based on their records, Zheng He went to the Western Ocean for the third time and went to Manjiaka，That is the misunderstanding of Zheng He's five -time dwelling in the West in the West。

To sum up，Zheng He seven to the West，Seven to Manchua，The first time I went to the West to eliminate the pirate problem in the Malacca Strait，Established a guarantee for the safety of the Malacca Strait，Has a vital role in the rise of the strait。The establishment of a peaceful and friendly relationship between the Ming Dynasty and the Manchu Kaiguo，Typical example of becoming a win -win situation on the Silk Road National Cooperation，Manjia quickly formed a new prosperous international trade center，Bet365 app download The first time in history stood on the commanding height of the international trade port，Since then, this strait has the name of the Manchu and Canada Kingdom on the world landmark。Tracing the danger of tracing the Malacca Strait from the danger of looting at sea to the formation development process of the prosperous international trade center of international trade order，It can enhance our understanding and understanding of the Silk Road in the early 15th century.。
