10 h 17 m, 16 nov 1807 año - Li Xue Fanghua the Crimson Lotus of the Eastern Seas

Descripción:

On 16 November 1807, Zheng Yi fell overboard in a gale and died at the age of 42. Li Xue Fanghua, the Crimson Lotus of the Eastern Seas, took over her deceased husband's throne in the South Asian Piracy Confederation (SAPC), through the support of Zheng Yi's nephew Zheng Baoyang and the son of Zheng Qi, Zheng Anbang. Li Xue Fanghua balanced the various factions in the confederation, and was familiar with Guo Podai, leader of the second biggest fleet in the confederation, the Black Flag Fleet, who had been abducted by Li Xue and pressed into piracy at a young age. Most importantly, Li Xue Fanghua had the support of Zhang Bao, who was in effect commanding the Red Flag Fleet at the time.

Li Xue Fanghua effectively inherited her deceased husband's informal command over the entire Pirate Confederation, while Zhang Bao became the official commander of the Red Flag Fleet. According to a report by Wen Chengzhi, a government official who led the negotiations with Li Xue Fanghua and Zhang Bao with the Viceroy of Liangguang Bai Ling later in 1810, "Zhang Bao obeyed Li Xue Fanghua's orders, and consulted her on all things before acting.

After taking control of the confederation, Li Xue Fanghua and Zhang Bao entered a sexual relationship. It is speculated that they were already intimate before the death of Zheng Yi.
