Zheng He

I was Zhen he's first mate. Zheng he's massive fleet of around 300 ships set sail in 1405. we went to around 30 different countries and discovered and learned much. Our crown jewel  of the fleet was a flagship that was 400 feet long and 180 feet wide. Though our Admiral died in 1430 we were called back to china. Once we returned home the emperor ordered our entire fleet to be burned down to ash. there were to be no more voyages. This is very important to history because we could have taken over the entire world with that fleet.
