Great Ming: You Sent Me on a Voyage West, and I Conquered the World?

Why didn't Zheng He’s voyages to the Western Seas allow the Great Ming to dominate the world?

He transmigrates to the Yongle era of the Ming dynasty.

He becomes Zhu Di's fourth son, Zhu Gaohuang, a spoiled prince who gives the emperor the biggest headache.

In the third year of Yongle,

his nominal father, seeking to proclaim the might of the Great Ming and find out what happened to the Jianwen Emperor,

orders the eunuch Zheng He, also known as Sanbao,

to lead a vast fleet on a diplomatic mission to the countries of the Western Seas.

And, supposedly to give Zhu Gaohuang some experience,

he orders him to sail with the fleet.

Five years later.

Zhu Di leads an army of five hundred thousand on a campaign to the northern deserts.

But to his utter astonishment,

when he arrives, Zhu Gaohuang comes roaring toward him in a tank!

Zhu Di is dumbfounded. "Weren't you sailing to the Western Seas? Why are you in the desert?"

Zhu Gaohuang smiles faintly. "That's right, Father. Our fleet sailed west, then followed the sea route north. After conquering Europe, we returned by land and happened to wipe out the Mongols along the way before showing up here. Sounds perfectly reasonable, doesn't it?"
