Why is Zheng He a eunuch?

On this basis, Wu Han speculated that Zheng He or Yu Hongwu were captured by the Ming army and "castrated" when they attacked Yunnan in the 13th year (138 1).

1, Zheng He was a eunuch of the Ming Dynasty, a native of Yunnan, nicknamed Sanbao, and also worked as a Sanbao. China was a navigator and diplomat in the Ming Dynasty.

2. Zheng He's voyage to the West is a national act, and Zheng He's fleet is a powerful strategic force. Obviously, the Ming government set out from the national interests (including the emperor's will) and national needs at that time and sent Zheng He's fleet to the Western Ocean.

Extended data:

1. Zheng He's voyage to the West was a sea voyage during Yongle and Xuande in Ming Dynasty. The maiden voyage began in the third year of Yongle (1405), and the final voyage ended in the eighth year of Xuande (1433), counting seven times.

2. On the seventh voyage to the Western Ocean, Zheng He, the eunuch of Sambo, set off from Nanjing, assembled at Liujia Port in Taicang, Jiangsu, arrived at Taiping Port in Changle, Fujian, and stopped at Kaiyang [1-2]? , sailed to the western Pacific and Indian Ocean, and visited more than 30 countries and regions.

3. Zheng He's voyage to the Western Seas was the largest in ancient China, with the longest voyage and the largest number of ships and sailors. It was also the largest series of voyage exploration in the world history before the voyage of the great discovery of European geography at the end of 15.
