Greg Jenner is joined in 13th-Century Venice by Professor Sharon Kinoshita and comedian Ria Lina to learn all about medieval traveller Marco Polo and his adventures in China.Born into a family of merchants, in 1271 a teenage Marco set out for the court of the Mongol emperor Qubilai Khan with his father and uncle. They would not return to Italy for nearly a quarter of a century. In the service of the emperor, the Polos saw all manner of extraordinary things – including the Mongols' amazing imperial postal service and diamond-hunting eagles in India. Imprisoned by the Genoese on his eventual return, Polo spent his time in prison writing his Description of the World with the Arthurian romance author Rustichello, a travelogue describing his exploits in the East and the wonders he had seen. This episode explores Polo's extraordinary life, the decades he spent travelling in China and beyond, and the fascinating account he wrote on his return. If you're a fan of epic voyages, luxurious royal courts and medieval travel writing, you'll love our episode on Marco Polo.If you want more from Ria Lina, check out our episode on pirate queen Zheng Yi Sao. For more on the Mongols listen to our episode on Genghis Khan, and for more medieval travel writers, there's our episode on medieval Muslim explorer Ibn Battuta. You're Dead To Me is the comedy podcast that takes history seriously. Every episode, Greg Jenner brings together the best names in history and comedy to learn and laugh about the past.

While famous UK pirates like Blackbeard, Black Bart, Calico Jack, Sir Francis Drake, or Captain Kidd get much more name recognition, none of them ever commanded a confederation of pirates up to 80,000 men strong, with around 2,000 ships.

We recount Zheng Yi Sao's remarkable rise to power alongside her husband, the notorious pirate captain Zheng Yi, and the fateful events that propelled her to command the Red Flag Fleet, one of the most formidable pirate armadas to ever sail the South China Sea. She transformed from a humble working-class girl into a strategic genius and fearless leader, earning her the title of Pirate Queen. She implemented a strict code of conduct, ensuring order and unity within her vast fleet.  We explore the challenges she faced from the Qing Dynasty and Western powers, and learn how she orchestrated her retirement from piracy, negotiating a historic pardon that secured amnesty for herself and her crew.

Zheng Yi Sao är piraten som under flera år härskade över världens största piratflotta på 70 000 män och kvinnor. Hon spred skräck i södra Kina i början av 1800-talet och besegrade alla som kom i hennes väg. Men hur kunde den lilla flickan som en gång i tiden tvingades arbeta som prostituerad förvandlas till en av världens mest fruktade pirater?

O pirata mais bem-sucedido da história não foi um homem: foi uma mulher chinesa. Ao contrário da maioria dos piratas que saqueavam navios durante 1 ou 2 anos e geralmente morriam em batalha, Zheng Yi Sao esteve na ativa por 9 anos. Dona de uma frota pessoal de mais de 1400 piratas e 24 navios, ela construiu uma fortuna baseado em saques, contrabandos e extorsão. A pirata ainda comandou uma Confederação de Piratas composta por 5 diferentes frotas que navegava pelo Mar do Sul da China. Com 400 navios e 70 mil homens ao seu dispor, Zheng Yi Sao planejou, coordenou e realizou saques à navios chineses, britânicos e portugueses nos primeiros anos do século 19. Através de uma rede de inteligência e monitoramento, Zheng Yi Sao conseguiu até mesmo monopolizar o comércio marítimo de sal na China. Considerada como uma ameaça nacional, a Marinha Chinesa teve que aliar-se a Marinha Britânica e Portuguesa para tentar captura-la. Em todo caso, os resultados não foram satisfatórios: aos montes, almirantes britânicos e portugueses tornaram-se reféns nos porões da pirata. Escondendo seus navios em baias e cavernas, os piratas tornavam inútil qualquer ajuda estrangeira que desconhecia da geografia local. Além da pirataria, Zheng Yi Sao ainda diversificou sua carreira e construiu diversas casas de jogos em Guangzhou e Macau. Parecia que ninguém conseguia impedi-la.

In the previous episode, I referred to this person as Zheng Yi Sao, which is a name referring to her as the wife of someone else. This novel is all about her story on its own terms, which is why author Rita Chang-Eppig uses the name Shek Yeung.
