More of the Pirates of the South China Sea

Some time ago I made a post on the Red Flag Fleet (squadron). There were six large squadrons in all, with the red fleet being larger than all the other fleets combined. The other fleets include the yellow, green, blue, black, and the white.

Each of these fleets was assigned a commander and particular area of operation. Many of the flagged fleets had smaller squadrons acting under their direction. A deputy commander commanded these sub-squadrons.

Here is a list of squadrons, their commanders, and deputy commanders:

Woo Che Tsing, whose nickname was the Scourge of the Eastern Sea, was the commander of the yellow flag squadron and his deputy was Le Tsing Hoo.

Meih Yew Kim and Necioushih, which were otherwise known as the Bird and the Stone were the commanders of the blue flag squadron. Their deputies were Meih’s relatives: Yew Kivel and Yew Kee.

Ping Yung Ta was the commander of the black squadron and Ping Yung Ta and Chang Jih Keaore and Otsew were his deputies.

Leang Paou, otherwise called “The Jewel of the whole crew”, was the commander of the white squadron.

Le Shag Tsing, nicknamed “Frog Meal” was the commander of green and Ching Jih commanded the red.
