Between Two Hearts
In the early 18th century, the Qing dynasty's campaign against bandits severed the livelihood of the Red Flag Fleet and other pirate alliances, causing internal rifts. At this critical juncture, the fleet's leader, Zheng Yi Sao, made the decision to seek amnesty. However, the initial rounds of negotiations were unsuccessful. She personally led a delegation to Guangzhou, selecting 17 women and children to serve as "hostages" to demonstrate her sincerity. At the outset of the talks, both sides held opposing stances. The Qing officials questioned the sincerity of this "pirate chief." Zheng Yi Sao had to balance the interests of her crew with winning the trust of the imperial court. Ultimately, through the efforts of mediators, the Qing side reluctantly agreed to some conditions, achieving minor successes in the negotiations. Upon returning, Zheng Yi Sao faced an even greater challenge: persuading her crew to comply with the agreement. After much persuasion, she finally gained the approval of the majority. Meanwhile, within the court, different factions had varying opinions on accepting the pirates' amnesty, and Bai Ling had to coordinate among them all. Thirty years later, the aged Zheng Yi Sao once again stepped forward, devising strategies to assist Lin Zexu in repelling the invading British forces, securing her final military merit. —Jie Lou
