Did what happened in April in history have anything to do with ships?

In June, the third year of Yongle (1405), Zheng He made his first voyage to the Western Ocean, went south with the wind, and reached Mamobaxie in Java. Java, known as Gaopo in ancient times, is now Java Island in Indonesia, which is the hub of Nanyang, with dense population, rich products and developed commerce.

Zheng he's voyages

At that time, the East King and the West King of this country were fighting a civil war. When the East King was defeated, his territory was occupied by the army of the West King. Members of Zheng He's fleet went ashore to do business in the market. They were mistaken by the occupying forces for coming to help the East King and killed by the West King Ma Xie, with a total of 170 people. Zheng He's soldiers worked hard one after another, saying that their blood could not be shed in vain, and they were anxious to declare war on the eight countries of Mali and avenge themselves. After the "Java incident", the Queen Mother of the West was very afraid and sent messengers to apologize and compensate 62,000 gold for atonement. Zheng He got off to a bad start in his voyage to the West and lost 170 soldiers innocently. Naturally, it will inevitably lead to a large-scale battle. But Zheng He was carrying out the secret mission of Emperor Yongle. He was afraid that once he was killed, the western countries along the way were afraid of the coming of the Ming Dynasty.

Zheng He's Route to the Western Seas

After the invasion, I learned that it was a manslaughter. In view of the fear of the Queen Mother of the West, she pleaded guilty and was punished, so she told the court to make peace and handle the incident peacefully. The Ming dynasty decided to give up the claim for compensation for sleeping in eight countries. The Queen Mother of the West was very moved when she learned of this incident, and the two countries lived in harmony from then on. Members of the organizing committee for the 600th anniversary of Zheng He in Semarang, Java Island talked to reporters about this matter and all admired him. They said that Zheng He treated all countries equally, regardless of strength. Even if there was a conflict between the two countries, he was able to maintain great restraint, compromise, convince others by reasoning, and show peace and good-neighborliness with neighboring countries, which made the traditional friendship between China and Indonesian people go back to ancient times. When we settled here, we were also proud. Indonesian scholars believe that Zheng He's fleet was the most powerful maritime task force in the world at that time. During Zheng He's seven-year voyage to the Western Ocean for twenty-eight years, the real foreign war was only once in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), and it was a defensive war when he was forced to do nothing. In dealing with the "Java incident", Zheng He not only did not use force, but also did not demand compensation, which fully showed that Zheng He was an emissary of spreading peace. He spread the traditional etiquette of "harmony is the most important thing" in China and the Chinese civilization of "one country under the sun" and "one family under the world". The second voyage to the West was on September 13th in the fifth year of Yongle (1407, 10, 13). After Zheng He returned to China, he immediately made preparations for his second voyage to the West, mainly by sending foreign envoys.
