Step-by-step explanation:

addition to political motivation, the new emperor had financial motivation. The treasure fleet voyages cost Ming China enormous amounts of money; since they were not trade excursions, the government recovered little of the cost. ... For all of these reasons, Ming China stopped sending out the magnificent Treasure Fleet.
