The legendary Ching Shih, nicknamed "Queen of the Pirates", is no fictional character! Born in China in 1775, Ching Shih, whom legend has it was once a prostitute, was in fact the terror of merchant ships in the China Sea in the early 19th century. A true military genius, when her pirate husband died, she took command of 40,000 men, some say 80,000.
Her insatiable thirst for power made her a formidable strategist. In this episode, we introduce you to a woman who was powerful in many ways, the owner of a large part of the China Sea, the head of all the city's gambling tables and, last but not least, a true pirate.
