  • Resumen

  • Zheng Yi Sao also known as Ching Shih meaning wife of Ching was a Chinese pirate leader who terrorized the South China Sea from 1807 to 1810. She was a prostitute who married a pirate and rose to prominence after his death. Regarded as one of the most powerful pirates in human history, she commanded her husband's fleet after his death. While the fleet she inherited was already large, she further increased the number of ships and crew. At its height, her fleet was composed of more than 1,500 ships and 80,000 sailors. She controlled much of the waters of the South China Sea. Her ships entered into conflict with several major powers, such as the East India Company, the Portuguese Empire, and Qing China. After years of piracy during which she defeated several attempts to capture her, the Qing government offered her peace in 1810 and she was able to retire and married her second-in-command.
