When Ming Treasure fleet passed the Strait of Malacca, Zheng He encountered a group of pirates.
The pirate’s leader was Chen Zuyi, who own the biggest fleet in Asia. They usually robbed
merchant ships, killed businessmen and did lots of bad things to local people.
Chen Zuyi was greedy at the treasure in Zheng He’s boat and decided to rob Zheng He’s fleet. But
on the other hand, Zheng He also wanted to destroy them to benefit the trading and local people.
Chen Zuyi firstly wrote a letter to Zheng He, and promised to surrender, but secretly prepared to
attack the ship by night.
In the night, more than a dozen pirate ships were quietly heading for Zheng He’s fleet. The pirate
ships were small, diving flexibly and running fast. Chen Zuyi was very arrogant. He clenched his sharp
knife, his two greedy eyes started at the tall and magnificent treasure ship, and his brain was full of treasure.
But Zheng He got a secret report early and prepared for the battle in advance. When the pirate ships entered
the ambush circle, a red light rose on the high mast of the treasure ship, followed by many lantern torches.
The dark sea turned to be a bright day. The pirate ships were surrounded by a large ship fleet. Less than an
hour the pirate fleet was defeated. Chen Zuyi was captured. Zheng He also pushed the advantage and took
off Chen Zuyi’s priate base in the old port of Malacca Strait.
By the moment, the biggest pirate fleet in Asia was destroyed completely.
