Because he wanted to find treasure

Answer:

He was sent by Emperor Yong Le because he wanted to trade with other kingdoms, show off their power, and he wanted to demand the weaker kingdoms to pay tribute.- The 7 Voyages. Other than that, it was part of his job. At the age of 11 he was captured by Ming troops and was made a eunuch (A man that has been *castrated. [removal of testicles-man or ovaries-women]). From there he used education to forget about his hardship and later assisted Prince Zhu Di, with military missions, who later became Emperor Yong Le who renamed Zheng (he was originally known as Ma He and then to Zheng). And later since he used his education skills, Yong Le appointed him to lead the 7 Voyages. ***Basically he was forced to travel as a LEADER, which he probably didn't mind because of how much he helped China to grow and it's what he studied as a kid.***
