My understanding is it comes from the Arabization of the word "Franks" which they used as a general term for Europeans during the crusades which spread around the cultures of the Indian Ocean via trade routes. Variations of the word exist in The Middle East, India, South East Asia and East Africa - in Ethiopia for example.

One correction here: you wrongly attribute the "three rules" to Madam Zhang; she enforced those rules and likely agreed with them but they came from her husband, not from her. This is a common mistake, since most scholarship on her traces at least partly back to an earlier book about her by a British sensationalist author. Wikipedia actually has good info on this.

I for sure am not one of those delusionals believing in the true power of the women at the time but this particular recount makes a lot of sense to have been changed in order to reinforce male leadership by re-telling, especially regarding the masculine favoured culture of all of SEA, as well as JP and PRC, to this day, instead of recounting the truth of events.

I had an awareness that I was in China in the year 4 B.C, Southern China with the Palm Trees, South China Sea Coast. Freaked out because I was stuck forever there. Then it was an overcast night, and some Chinese fisherman who hated my presence, overwhelmed me, punching the crap out of me, seeing stars from the hits, and when I could no longer moved...gang raped me..their sillhouettes against the dark skies wailing on me kicking punching etc. Woke up before they offered to push in my stool, thank god.

Piracy and thassalocratic thought was so prevalent around pacific at that time that even Malacca Sultanate would rule under what they call "The Laws of Allah AND the Captain" Big part of this push towards naval life was also heavily spurred on as a reaction to Ming's, and then Qing's expansionist tendencies towards the eastern seaboard. Also it is a very interesting story of Koxinga and Kingdom of Tungning that most in the west do not know. It is basically how Taiwan got in the hands of the Chinese

Koxinga and his buddies were said to have "killed all the men, raped the European women and let one man go in a ship so that the world would know what happened." Foreigners were enslaved and the slave trade was altho' not born, because it already existed, was cultivated into a slave trade that ran from SE Asia to Zamboanga. The Spaniish tried for centuries to disband the pirate slave trade, but failed. The US came in and gradually stopped most of it, including the slave trade int he chinese section of Manila. You might add this to the show. Koxinga was an especially bad person.

In western navies and seafaring in general there’s an old superstition that women on ships were bad luck. In actuality this served a practical purpose, because women on ships during the age of sail were extremely likely to be assaulted, if not by their own sailors then by the enemy in the event of a sea battle, and afterward would either “disappear at sea” or be sold into slavery at brothels. This had the potential to cause mutinies in the event that some of the sailors liked the woman/women and wanted to protect them, or even became infatuated and wanted them all to themselves. Jealousies amongst the men would cause chaos while the woman in question was completely helpless to defend herself while trapped on a ship at sea full of men who either wanted to force themselves onto her and/or throw her overboard. Testosterone is a hell of a drug.

The Wako pirates of northeast Asia were clearly Japanese, including many samurai, who fled the famine and violence caused by their country’s ongoing civil war. Chinese and Koreans were terrorized by these marauding bandits for many years, and had to withdraw their populations and granaries far from coastal settlements to avoid the rampages. In China the bandit intruders even made their way up the Yangzi River toward Nanjing.
