Dès le Xe siècle av. J.-C., des expéditions chinoises atteignaient les îles indonésiennes. Grâce à leurs innombrables inventions, comme la boussole, ils se lancent dans des plus longs voyages. En 1402, l'empereur Zhu Di charge Zheng He de partir explorer ces mondes légendaires jusqu'en Arabie. Malgré l'opposition farouche des confucianistes, il va construire la plus grande flotte au monde. Après plusieurs voyages, il ira jusqu'à Malindi.

01:53Look, what is this?
02:00But in that case, I really don't know!
02:04It's impossible, impossible, dozens of sticks!
02:09We should warn our own people!
02:12This happened almost 600 years ago!
02:16It was the largest fleet the world had ever known, that of an enormous maritime power!
02:22But where did they come from? Where did these men come from?
02:25It's the biggest fleet! The English?
02:30The French?
02:31The Americans then! The Americans!
02:34America hadn't been discovered yet!
02:36Well then, that's a joke!
02:38There were no big ships before...
02:40Before...
02:41Before the Portuguese?
02:43The Spanish?
02:44What if there were some before?
03:01Are we in Malindy?
03:03Absolutely, Captain, I know the city well!
03:05Don't get too close, there are reefs!
03:08We drop anchor and launch the boats!
03:10At your service, Captain!
03:20Come and see for yourself!
03:21Dozens of ships, they are all enormous!
03:23Bigger than houses!
03:25It's true !
03:25I've never seen so many ships, and such big ones!
03:29Come and see!
03:35Look there!
03:37Oh! Who are these men? What do they want?
03:44But of course!
03:45Chinese people, I should have thought of that!
03:47Yeah !
03:48The Chinese, the Chinese!
03:49Always the Chinese!
03:50The Chinese have a very long history!
03:53That was over 10,000 years ago!
03:549,000 years before our era, the Chinese reached Formosa, then the Philippines, Malaysia, and finally the islands
03:59Fiji!
04:02And it is even thought that they crossed the Pacific Ocean and reached South America from the east.
04:06Long before Christopher Columbus!
04:08But their great maritime adventure will begin with an important invention, the compass!
04:19It's a special metal that always points north; this will surely be useful to ships, allowing them to...
04:24'Orientation at night or in bad weather!'
04:27At the end of the 13th century, the Venetian traveler Marco Polo was already admiring some superb specimens of the
04:33local fleet!
04:35Extraordinary! Enormous ships with 60 cabins and a crew of 300! We've never seen anything like it!
04:41The same thing!
04:42Emperor Zoudi, who has just seized power, first gets rid of his very, very numerous enemies!
04:48However, he retains some advisors!
04:53Your Majesty, you have defeated the Mongols, eliminated all our enemies, and expanded the Middle Kingdom!
04:58We must now discover the world around us and find the riches we lack!
05:03The sea opens the way to the world! But we need more ships!
05:07I will think about it, Zhang He! You have been a very devoted servant and your words are precious to me!
05:18Worship you, master, the Middle Kingdom is at your feet!
05:22The wealth of our country lies in its soil!
05:24Confucius said, cultivating the land is what will make China rich!
05:28It will be pointless to spread ourselves abroad!
05:32Did Confucius say that?
05:33They say he said it, Master!
05:35Okay, I'll think about it, Xia!
05:45Xou, my dear first wife, it's a pleasure to see you here!
05:50That's what I have to talk to you about, lord and master!
05:54It is in our interest to preserve the country from foreign influences, these are the words of Confucius!
06:00Ah, you've read Confucius!
06:02I've heard about it!
06:03Well, my dear first wife, I'll think about it! Go, go!
06:14Meillou, my last wife! Come and sit down!
06:20Come here! There! So, my last wife, what do you have to say to me?
06:26Come on !
06:27Lord and master!
06:29I... I was thinking, master, that perhaps there are so many strange and beautiful things beyond the seas
06:35It would bring you glory to discover them!
06:37Would that make you happy?
06:39Oh, yes!
06:43Your Majesty!
06:45Zeng He, with your help, I will create the imperial navy that will be the most powerful in the world!
06:49I appoint you commander! You will discover new lands for me!
06:53Lands where men supposedly have black skin and where the beasts are magical!
06:59And the Chinese invented the dry dock, which allows ships to remain out of the water!
07:13Scrape the hull completely! Replace the rotten planks! You see! And finally, you have to repaint everything.
07:18!
07:19Yes, Commander!
07:52Each compartment must be equipped with a watertight door!
07:56Here's another invention! Watertight compartments that prevent the ship from sinking at the slightest damage!
08:02They want to cross oceans!
08:04She is on foreign soil!
08:06That contradicts the teachings of Confucius!
08:08I might have an idea! Perfect, there's no one here!
08:11I'm coming !
08:23Oh! It's the work of the Confucians!
08:27We're going to have to monitor the locks day and night!
08:42Avoiding you from being a mercenary!
08:43Oh my goodness!
08:50Good advice!
08:51It's a suicide map!
08:59It's a waste of time, thank you very much!
09:00I only have one consideration: the body.
09:08Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch...
09:32In just a few years, despite the opposition of Confucius' followers,
09:36The Emperor had the largest fleet that had ever existed built.
09:42"1681 ships, nine-masted treasure ships with a crew of 600 men,
09:49Junks with three or four masts, which are more maneuverable,
09:53oar-powered warships with a reinforced prow,
09:57a few gunpowder boats to blow up enemy ships
10:01"Flat-bottomed sea falcons, plus a few secret ships."
10:05"I'll let you in on it, it's a secret."
10:08"He's a good one."
10:31The compass, our most precious guide, our life is in its hands.
10:35"Make the ink rise."
10:47"Make the ink rise."
10:47"Raise the anchor."
10:59"Restore the ship's speed."
11:05"Speed of eight knots, Captain."
11:30"You're a life!"
11:34"This is Palembang, the major port of Sumatra."
11:38"Chainsui and his Malay bandits plunder ships in the Strait of Malacca."
11:42"Okay, listen, I'm going to enter the strait with the warships and you'll follow me."
11:47"Yes, Commander."
11:58"And look, the warships are setting off on reconnaissance."
12:02"Where is the treasure?"
12:02"Ah yes, chief. Good, chief. But you hurt me, chief."
12:24"Turn off that lantern, you idiot."
12:26"We mustn't draw attention to ourselves."
12:42"Ah!"
12:46"Ah!"
12:47"Oh, there!"
12:56"Ouch!"
12:57"Look, female captains."
13:05"There are too many of them."
13:28"Take the combat trousers."
13:30"Everyone to their post."
13:50"Here come the reinforcements. We'll get them."
13:54"Hey, look, boss. There, there."
13:57"But that's witchcraft! No sail, no oar, and yet they're moving forward."
14:02" Fire ! "
14:09" Fire ! "
14:11"Ah!"
14:12"Now, the flying bombs."
14:15" Come on ! "
14:21"Oh, that smells bad."
14:22"Oh, this all smells..."
14:23"Oh, that's disgusting. Oh, that's beyond repair."
14:25"Oh, that's disgusting. Oh, that's beyond repair."
14:27"Oh, that's disgusting."
14:28"Oh, that's disgusting."
14:29"What does this little thing want?"
14:36"Oh, there, oh, there, oh!"
14:40"Reverse. Reverse. Full speed!"
14:56"Vandals, reckless drivers, thugs, pirates!"
15:00" Chief. "
15:00"What, what?"
15:01"Well, the pirates, Chief, that's us."
15:09"I understand, boss. We're going to build boats like that."
15:15"What does he say about it, Chief?"
15:26"You are welcome on the island where Buddha lived."
15:29"You have drunk the sacred water."
15:31"So you can visit the temple?"
15:33"I will drive you."
15:51"The master greets the representatives of the Middle Kingdom."
15:54"He says that a usurping brigand has seized the nearby town of Côte."
15:58"Would you agree to get rid of it so we can live in peace?"
16:03"Tell him we're going to try."
16:05"Can I come with you on your large boats?"
16:08"Of course, you will be our interpreter."
16:15"You see, this is for the honored guests."
16:18"It's as big as a captain's cabin."
16:20"When I grow up, I'm going to be a captain."
16:21" And you ? "
16:22"I will be an elephant driver."
16:26"It's a very good job, you know."
16:28"Come on, we're almost there."
16:45"Zeng He, commander of the Middle Kingdom's fleet."
16:49"And Hong Bao, his captain, sends his regards."
16:52"He brings you this gift."
16:59"What did he say?"
17:02"He says you are miserable earthworms who should crawl before him."
17:07"Your emperor is nothing but a harmful insect that he will crush with his thumb."
17:10"He says he has no intention of listening to your gurgling."
17:14"And that he will take all the treasures you carry in your great ships."
17:18"He said all that?"
17:20"Well, you'll say, this little stuffed, skinned, stretched-out dwarf, this beaten, stubborn, beaten soul, this scarecrow"
17:27"To the sparrow, well, you're going to tell him that..."
17:28"Tell the August King that we will seriously consider his honorable proposal."
17:32"What? Think about it. But I'll show him..."
17:37"Come on, I'll explain."
17:39"He's blocked the port exit. His entire army is here. Look!"
17:43"There are too many of them."
17:47"That's because there aren't any left here."
17:48"Hey, not bad. Okay, let's go."
18:01"At least, seize these men!"
18:06"So, we are miserable earthworms, harmful insects."
18:10"The insects are stinging."
18:12"You are lords. The Middle Kingdom is a great country."
18:16"You misunderstood me. The interpreter there, there, he must have made a mistake."
18:19"Ah yes, the interpreter. So, this time, you tell the interpreter this."
18:24"He's recalling his troops immediately, otherwise..."
18:28"How to embalm my cloak of a tree."
18:41"Oh, the sheep!"
18:46"Oh, Kamalish Mahal."
18:49"Oh, the sheep!"
18:52"Oh, the sheep!"
18:55"Oh, the sheep!"
18:56"Oh, the sheep!"
18:57"That's interesting. Who's the auctioneer here?"
19:18"It's me, sir. What do you have to offer?"
19:20"Come and see for yourself aboard our boat."
19:26"All of this is very, very beautiful. How many are there in total?"
19:29"We're going to count."
19:34" Oh ! "
19:48"50 plates, 200 saucers and as many cups."
19:52"Plus 100 plates and we also have 20 teapots."
19:55"That's good, that's good."
19:58"So, are you going to take me back now?"
20:01"Not yet. We're going to Arabia first."
20:03"In Arabia. But I don't want to go to Arabia!"
20:06"And where is Arabia, anyway?"
20:07"We don't know for sure."
20:09"Apparently, it's that way, at sunset."
20:11"Oh dear! Poor me! What a poor little king I am!"
20:20"Come on, I don't want to go!"
20:23"I don't want to go!"
20:23" If ! "
20:24"How much do you want? I'll give it to you!"
20:25"No, four!"
20:27" Four ! "
20:27"Two! Three!"
20:28" Four ! "
20:29"Um..."
20:29"I can't!"
20:32"That works!"
20:33" Come on ! "
20:34" THANKS ! "
20:38"So, we can't!"
20:40" Come on ! "
20:43"Hey, look!"
20:44"But it's a kilin, I'm sure of it!"
20:46"It's a magical animal that brings good luck!"
20:49"A kilon, let's go see!"
20:52"Ask them what kind of animal it is and if I can buy it."
20:56"They call it a giraffe."
20:59"They have a lot of them, so..."
21:04"So, you promise to be good."
21:06"Yes, yes, yes."
21:06"You won't bother your neighbors anymore."
21:08"You can go home."
21:10"Ah!"
21:12"And here we are on our way back."
21:17"And there you have it!"
21:20"To the attack!"
21:30"Barbarians, vandals, thugs, pirates!"
21:34"Chef, chef!"
21:35"Yes, yes, yes, I know, I know. We're the pirates."
21:37"It's us."
21:51"Allow us, Your Majesty, to present to you a kilin, this fabulous legendary animal that brings good luck."
21:57"Oh, how lovely it is! I want one, master, I want one!"
22:01"At the beginning of the 15th century, China was the greatest maritime power."
22:15"Emperor Zhu Di had a new capital built, Beijing, which would become known as Peking."
22:20"In its center, he will build the forbidden city."
22:22"Their thousand-room palace."
22:24"A million workers are coming to undertake this task."
22:27"The expeditions have resumed, and our travelers are bringing back to the royal palace their load of animals from elsewhere.
22:32»
22:32"Oh, that heavenly horse, what beauty!"
22:35"It's the Killing, a guarantee of luck and prosperity!"
22:37"That long blow, it's not pretty, well!"
22:41"Did you see that big bird? Completely clumsy, it even tried to fly around!"
22:46"Look, what's this?"
22:51"Yes, the whole world was opening up to its conquerors of the seas."
22:55"But meanwhile, in Beijing..."
22:57“No, my master, it is only here, within our borders, that we can strengthen our
23:01faith ! "
23:02"These trips, these devilish animals, it's all worthless!"
23:05"That's true, Your Majesty, that's true!"
23:08"Having seen signs in the sky, if we do not stop all these expeditions, a great misfortune will befall us."
23:12'to strike us down!'
23:14"Be careful, if you make a mistake, you will be punished!"
23:17"You absolute idiot, what did you just say now?"
23:19"I didn't tell anyone!"
23:20"Now, if a great misfortune doesn't happen, it will happen to us, woe!"
23:25"Don't worry, something bad is going to happen!"
23:30"Obscurantism is a powerful and unfortunate force!"
23:39"No Chinese person could venture out to sea anymore under penalty of death!"
23:43"The country closed behind its great wall, the end of an extraordinary adventure!"
23:47"When you think about the journey they made, while Henry, the navigator, hadn't even reached
23:51The equator!
23:52"The famous Cape Bojador! Do you remember?"
23:56"What if they had continued? What if they had met?"
24:00"Just imagine, my children, the great junks of the Middle Kingdom and the Portuguese caravels!"
24:05"Just imagine! We don't realize!"
24:08"And what has become of our Chinese friends?"
24:10"And Hongbao probably perished at sea in a storm!"
24:21"Grandpa, grandpa! Have you ever seen boats this big?"
24:26"Oh yes, my dear! And even much bigger than that, with red sails!"
24:31"Oh, that was a long time ago!"
24:33“Nowadays, on an island off the coast of Kenya, Pate Island, lives a different population, a
24:38a mix of Chinese and Black people.
24:40"Yes, indeed!"
24:45"Explorers, discovering the world, made the earth round, these syllopataires, will still find paths to trace and
24:57then offer them to souls, as one offers a beautiful woman, to you, to us, to me, I believe!
