From Britannica: "Ching Shih was arguably the most successful one [pirate]...Ching Shih took command of the fleet, which consisted of hundreds of ships and some 50,000 pirates. She kept them in line with a strict code of conduct, with most offenses being punished by beheading. The fleet proved so unstoppable—sometimes even venturing upstream in smaller boats to hit cities and towns that weren’t on the coast—that the admiral of the Chinese [Qing] navy committed suicide rather than be captured by her. In the end, she was offered amnesty by the Chinese [Qing] government and retired to the countryside with her loot."
