The countries beyond the horizon and from the ends of the earth
have all become subjects.... Thus the barbarians from beyond the
seas, though their countries are truly distant, have come to audience
bearing precious objects and presents. The Emperor, approving of
their loyalty and sincerity, has ordered us [Zheng] He and others at
the head of several tens of thousands of officers and flag-troops to
ascend more than one hundred large ships to go and...treat distant
people with kindness.
