Bu seferler okyanus boyunca uzak diyarlara yelken a\u00e7arak \u00dcmit Burnu’na kadar ula\u015ft\u0131.<\/p>\n\n
“\u00c7in’in Kristof Kolomb’u” olarak da bilinen Zheng He, Kolomb’unkinden \u00e7ok daha b\u00fcy\u00fck bir filoya komuta ediyordu. 1405-1430 y\u0131llar\u0131 aras\u0131nda ger\u00e7ekle\u015ftirdi\u011fi yedi sefer, Ming Hanedanl\u0131\u011f\u0131’n\u0131n g\u00fcc\u00fcn\u00fc ve ihti\u015fam\u0131n\u0131 g\u00f6zler \u00f6n\u00fcne serdi.
