Let's talk about Manraka

In "Sail to the World", Manraka is the second overseas country that Zheng He's fleet reached. After checking some information, I said the situation and general route of Zheng He's sixth voyage to the West:

On the 25th day of the first month of the 19th year of Yongle (1421), 16 countries, including Kurumus, Adan, Zufar, Raju, Burawa, Mugudushu, Guli, Kezhi, Gajil, Ceylon Mountain, Tashan Mountain, Lambali, Sumatra, Aru, Manraka, and Gambari, sent envoys to pay tribute to famous horses and things, and Cheng Zu ordered the Ministry of Rites to set up a banquet to comfort him. On the 30th, the envoys of the sixteen countries returned to China, gave them banknotes and coins, and sent the eunuch Zheng He to send the envoys of the sixteen countries back to China, and brought the edict of Chengzu and the brocade silk and silk that were given to the kings. In order to catch the monsoon, Zheng He and his entourage hurriedly set off after receiving the order, so that some of the envoys of the Sixteen Kingdoms could not set off with Zheng He because they were unable to do so. In this way, on October 16 of that year, when the winter monsoon had just begun, the second group of envoys ordered Hong Bao and others to escort them back, and Zheng He was still responsible for rewarding the countries according to the rules.

Like all other voyages, Zheng He's fleet first went to Champa and sent a fleet to send Siamese envoys back to China, and he led a large (Zhouzong) treasure ship to sail south, passing through the Strait of Malacca, and sent Manchuria, Alu, and Sumatra envoys back to China, and sent the eunuch Li Xing to lead a fleet to sail westward, and he sailed north with Yang Min and Li Kai to Banggara (present-day Bengal), and then went south to bypass the Indian Peninsula to Guli, and sailed directly to Zufar. After visiting and retreating, he visited Mukudushu and Burawa in Africa, and then turned the rudder and sailed back, returning to China in August of the twentieth year of Yongle (1422).

Manraka, which is today's Malacca, Malaysia. Manraka was an ancient kingdom that was a feudal kingdom of Malaya in the 14th to 16th centuries. Originally a vassal state of Thailand, at the beginning of the fifteenth century, friendly relations were established with China, and its king visited several times. Zheng He of the Ming Dynasty also visited his country repeatedly. At the end of the 15th century and the beginning of the 16th century, he defeated Siam, controlled maritime trade, and expanded his power. It fell into decline after the invasion of Portuguese colonists in 1511.

The history of the Ming Dynasty records that Manraka, in the south of the city, the wind is eight days to the Longya Gate, and the west is two days away. During the Yongle period, the relevant exchanges between the two countries: in October of the first year of Yongle, the Zhongguan Yin Qing was sent to the land, and he was given the weaving of gold and Wenqi and the sale of gold curtains. There is no king in its land, nor is it called a country, it belongs to Siam, and it loses forty taels of gold a year. Celebration of the meaning of demonstrative virtue and solicitation. Its chieftain Baili Misu was overjoyed, and sent an envoy to Sui Qing into the tributary party, and went to Beijing in September of the third year. Dijiazhi, named the king of Manraka. His envoy said: "Wang Muyi, I am willing to pay tribute to the counties of China, and please make his mountain a town of a country." "The emperor obeyed it.

In September of the fifth year, an envoy was sent to pay tribute. Next year, Zheng He made the country and paid tribute. In the ninth year, the king led his wife and courtiers more than 540 people to the court. In the summer of ten years, his nephew entered the palace. and resigned, and ordered the official Ganquan to go with him, and then paid tribute. In the twelfth year, the prince's mother came to the court and sued his father. In the seventeenth year, the king led his wife and courtiers to thank him. and resignation, suing Siam for invasion.
