Well

She was OG badass

She was a genius

comments on why these happened 1) she was a woman, testosterone wasnt there to make her blind to the facts 2) again, she wasnt a man and didnt have testosterone to make her violent and borderline evil No i dont hate men, i just know we are more impulsive

She also was big on women's rights, kind of, in a weird not really moral backhanded way.

FTFY: "Let's cast Scarlett Johannson for the lead role"

She wasn't really a hero tho 😅

@@apollofateh324 she is at Least real, not some silly outfit nerds fap on

@@apollofateh324 you want a gritty anti-hero, though? look no further.

The lesson, the casino doesn't want you to know.

Touche lol.

@@benalor1973 A friend of mine always wins at the casino. He gives his entry-chips to a friend and hits the free buffet and bar.

@@benalor1973 well that's right, the pirate business was bigger gamble than casino

I mean as far as mob movies go (Goodfellas, Casino, and The Godfather) she has a good ending ‘cause she quit while she still had it all.

How empowering!

🤣🤣🤣

Was she blind?

I don't think she was blind.

@@STAROMEGA54 A- for you then buddy. 🤣

She wasn’t blind. But yeah that Chinese granny was real and the most successful pirate in the world

@Wolong Gong wow damn, chill

@Wolong Gong Even if that's the case, she was still incredibly successful. And why should the others get a series first? Most already have had a bunch of films made about them. I also notice a subtle sexism here, could just be me.

@Wolong Gong There's no argument at all to be made that she wasn't a justifiable badass though, ship size be damned. She made the right decisions, put herself into a place of power, and maintained it through successful diplomacy, strategy and business acumen. Plus it's ridiculous to say that China was 100's of years behind the western powers when half the technology of the west at the time stemmed from Chinese inventions and innovations. A difference in culture and priorities is not the same as a difference in development.

@Wolong Gong I literally did refute what you said immediately after that statement. Lol

@Wolong Gong dude she literally the most successful priate in history. Did you watch the video? Sad incel life you got there

She pull it off at her early thirty.

She addressed herself as "Mistress Ching", so that was definitely her.

Yep. Definitely was her because she truly deserved to be called a Pirate Lord

I think all the pirates in the movies were based off real pirates, or pirate legends

Everyone at the Pirate Lord’s Table were based on real & legendary pirates.

@@JJ-fq4nl facts. I realised that a long time ago but I didn't know about Ching Shih at the time so I had trouble placing Mistress Ching (I thought she called herself Mistress Chang)

china rocks

And if going by standard of famous pirates' ending, then Ching definitely managed to have a happy ending unlike some of her piratical brethren who died in battle or whatever.

Dying comfortably of old age means you’re not as famous as Blackbeard, despite being stronger.

@@lalehiandeity1649 sometimes yeah, kinda unfortunate that no matter who you are as being a combatant goes. Land generals and admirals does have chances of being remembered, but as a pirate your death will definitely cause some buzzes verses being alive.

@@lalehiandeity1649 Not only was she strong, she was smart. Plus, if I have die young and violently just to be famous than the hell with fame! I'd rather die rich, comfortably and of old age just like she did.

@john bloggs 😂😂😂

🙏💜🙏

Agreed. Been waiting on this episode for ages.

Lol

Ughhhhhhh

hah yea i though that too

Lol was thinking the same thing and had a lowkey fan girl moment 😁

When you Zaheer was right about the White Lotus

Grace O'Malley (Grainne Mhaol) is another interesting pirate Queen. I was near sure Simon done a video on her, but i can't seem to find it, I must've imagined it lol

I want him to do Bill the Butcher.

Wow she is the real womanin history that have a power.

I never understood how Jack and her meet.

That is “Captain Jack”, Shipmate.

@Wolong Gong well I was gonna reply to the main comment in agrement till I saw the same username. It's easy to marry into power. But not so much to maintain it after that marriage. Come on, what's your problem with her?

@Wolong Gong You don't have to be actively running around swinging your sword to be successful you know. She still managed to hold on to power, maintain it after the death of her husband, build it up even further, and then give her men a get out of jail free card that included legit jobs, and live a comfortable life herself. That's badass. The chick you described sounds badass, too. They can both be awesome at the same time, you know. Lol

No, sorry she still would have been operating with an obsolete fleet. She would not have been able to deal with British weapons and tactics of the mid 1800s .

@@chuckhitter5541 That's the same kind of limited thinking that we Americans had going into both the Vietnam and Afghan wars and we've seen how those have turned out. You have to take into account home field advantage. Her navy knew all the good hiding places and she already had supply lines set up for her ships. The government had shown in the past a willingness to work with her so she may have seen support in the form of even more ships and men. Granted it's likely that the Dutch, British, and Americans would have put things aside briefly to deal with the issue collectively. But you never know. That's one of the fun things about history. Pondering the alternates.

The memory of Ching shih's reign was one of the reasons China lost the Opium Wars. The Qing Dynasty actually won the first phase of the Opium Wars decisively. At the time of the Opium Wars Chinese military technology disparity vs. Western opponents was not yet so large. Chinese naval ships had fairly modern guns and the bigger war junks were built like floating fortresses with more layers of guns than on available Western ships. The smaller junks on their part far outnumbered the Western navies. It was a navy perfectly suited for defense. The problem was that the successful commanders of the first battles of the Opium Wars petitioned the Qing government to allow them to recruit naval militias and build up localized navies in the south, which was historically the original genesis of the colored flag pirates. The plan was to turn the same kind of force against the foreigners, this time under the command of the Empire. This was a perfectly reasonable strategy leveraging the resources of the state and the people and one that would have succeeded in the long run against the Western powers simply thanks to numerical and home territory advantage. It was also a suggestion that immediately rang alarm bells in the minds of the court who still remembered the humiliations brought upon them by Ching Shih two decades past. The Qing additionally did not trust their Han officers and still remembered the long war with Koxinga. The commanders were recalled and their proposed strategy was rejected outright. The Qing navy was forced to fight more advanced and experienced Western navies with one hand tied behind their backs and no chance of leveraging the overwhelming numerical advantage they possessed. The end result was obvious.

@@grimdolo918 that is not the same thing in anyway naval warfare is very different to land warfare the British navy was unmatched on the sea you sink a ship u can’t replace it very quick a man with a rifle is a man with a rifle regardless of where they come from China wouldn’t stand a chance on the seas

That’s a ridiculous statement, you are saying she could beat the largest, best equipped, best trained, most advanced navy in the world with what? Some outdated vessels?

Beetje jammer dat zijn nazaten de boel zo naar de kloten geholpen hebben we hebben nu geen Nederland meer maar nederstaat van de EU ik zeg dan ook weg met Nederland en terug met Frisia en dan heb ik het niet over Friesland

@@e1mok75 de Verenigde Staten van Amerika , dat is echt een voorbeeld van hoe wij in Europa straks ook kunnen zijn . Europa met een bruto nationaal product (bnp) van ; $ 18.140.000.000.000 , dat is zooo veel geld ! Europa is het sterkste op economisch gebied van de wereld , als er ooit een leger is dat ons wil verslaan kunnen we gewoon India de V.S. , en Zuid Amerika betalen en hun helpen ons of wij kunnen fabrieken buiten het conflict zone bouwen en zelf een leger opbouwen , Europa landen groot en klein waar we allemaal er voor elkaar zullen zijn ! met Europa in het plan kan iedereen vrij zijn en dat is van belang

Don't forget the Glencoe massacre

@@traviskopplinger3515 The Glencoe Massacre in the Scottish Highlands on February 13, 1692 was a massacre that took place on the occasion of the abdication in Great Britain (A very interesting piece of history only i guess that it is more suited to be proposed on the channel highlight history , also a channel from SIMON W. )
