00:00A republic without a monarch is the purest constitution.
00:03It is also the most important and decisive national body under the Yellow Flag.
00:07Then where are you going to put the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty?
00:15I'm sorry.
00:17I've been a doctor in Macao for many years.
00:19I often go to the medical hall there.
00:21If there is a problem with his hospital,
00:24I have to raise my hand in advance.
00:26Raise hand?
00:28Raise hand?
00:49What's the matter?
00:52I'm asking you.
00:54How about the implementation of the constitution of the monarch of the Qing Dynasty?
00:58No.
01:00All the people of the country are slaves.
01:02It is impossible to achieve democratic constitutionalism if the emperor is left.
01:07Otherwise, the monarch will make trouble and unite the people.
01:11It will be violent and bloodshed.
01:16If the emperor of the Qing Dynasty knows the trend,
01:19it is best for the peace and order to agree to the republic.
01:22If the monarch is autocratic,
01:24we can only overthrow him and create a republic.
01:31What do you use to create?
01:34I have three friends.
01:36We are of the same mind.
01:38I know that your disciples are all over the country.
01:40If you agree to the republic,
01:42we will work together.
01:45Sun Wen.
01:47I don't agree with the bloodshed.
01:50The Qing Dynasty is weak.
01:53It can't stand the torture of the revolution.
01:56But I appreciate your ambition.
01:58Bring a letter of invitation tomorrow.
02:04What did you say?
02:09I said you are so educated.
02:12I can teach you.
02:21Goodbye.
02:39Sir.
02:41Is Sun Wen too arrogant?
02:46Arrogant?
02:48He is not only arrogant.
02:50If you touch his head,
02:53you will find a bone.
02:56Maybe my head is not as big as his.
03:12Come on.
03:14Put it here.
03:16Put it here.
03:18Move it in.
03:20Put it here.
03:22Put it here.
03:24Put it here.
03:26Okay.
03:28Slowly.
03:30Put it here.
03:32Put it here.
03:34Slowly.
03:38Wipe it clean.
03:40Yes.
03:43Song
04:08Sir.
04:11Xing Si.
04:13You are here.
04:15How do you like my western-style living room?
04:18Good.
04:28About the bank?
04:30There is nothing in the world.
04:36Let's go.
04:40The edict is here.
04:53Li Hongzhang received the edict.
04:55The Empress Dowager said
04:57Li Zhongtang has been suffering from a cold for many years.
05:00She sent Hong'er to warm his feet.
05:05She asked me to bring him to you.
05:09This...
05:11This...
05:13This...
05:15The Empress Dowager...
05:21Master, get up.
05:24The Empress Dowager...
05:37The Empress Dowager...
05:39Song
05:53We must send him to the capital.
05:56Li Hongzhang is a cautious man.
06:00It is not easy to send him to the capital.
06:07We can't afford to miss the chance.
06:12We are ready to launch an attack.
06:16First, we must conquer Korea.
06:20This is the first step to conquer a new country.
06:23We can't do that.
06:26If we go to war without a good reason,
06:30Japan will be isolated in a foreign country.
06:36Besides, it is a foreign country.
06:41By the way,
06:43a man from a foreign country in Korea is easy to be confused.
06:52Japan is too small.
06:58When can we leave this small island country?
07:06Since ancient times,
07:10Japan has always been inferior to China.
07:15It's been a long time.
07:18It's been a long time.
07:24It's time for China to kneel at the feet of Japan.
07:29For the next 100 years...
07:33No...
07:35For the next 100 years and forever...
07:47Listen.
07:49If you are not a Japanese envoy,
07:51I will kill you now.
07:54Your Excellency, please calm down.
07:58Our goal is to protect the embassy and the Japanese.
08:03We have only 100 soldiers.
08:06Don't give me that.
08:08I know you Japanese people.
08:11I ask you.
08:15What is behind Bai Yuming?
08:17It's a huge battle force.
08:22Your Excellency, you always think bad of yourself.
08:26It's not a big deal.
08:31It's our own business.
08:33You don't have to worry about it.
08:36Let's go.
08:39Your Excellency,
08:40I received a telegram from Yuan Shikai.
08:42Read it.
08:43The head of Japan, Li Zhongtang,
08:45said that the Japanese have sent 400 Marines.
08:48We should attack bravely.
08:52Otherwise, we will be defeated.
08:55The consequences will be dire.
09:00November 9, 1918, 9 a.m.
09:11Yuan Shikai is right.
09:13The Japanese can do anything.
09:16I don't think so.
09:18Yuan Shikai is exaggerating.
09:20He is eager to make a name for himself.
09:22He is always looking for trouble.
09:24Yuan Shikai has his own problems.
09:28We should listen to him.
09:32Your Excellency, what do you mean?
09:35We need to send more soldiers.
09:39400 soldiers are enough.
09:43If Yuan Shikai is right,
09:46the Japanese have sent a large force.
09:49If we don't send enough soldiers,
09:50it will be useless.
09:58You don't understand.
10:00The Japanese system is different from ours.
10:03We need the approval of the Parliament.
10:07But as far as I know,
10:09the Cabinet and the Parliament are at odds.
10:12The six parties are attacking the government.
10:17They can't afford the national economy.
10:20The Parliament won't approve the sending of soldiers.
10:25What does the Emperor mean?
10:32I have asked for a decree.
10:37Ye Zhichao, the governor of Zhili,
10:40and Nie Shicheng, the commander of Taiyuan,
10:45will lead 1,500 soldiers to fight against the Japanese.
10:49Once the internal strife is over,
10:52they will retreat and return to China.
11:02Hurry up.
11:03What's the hurry?
11:05Can you not be in a hurry?
11:07Give me a towel.
11:08I'll do it.
11:09I'll do it.
11:13I'll do it myself.
11:14I'll wipe it for you.
11:19Hurry up, okay?
11:20What's the hurry?
11:22Look at this eye.
11:24All right, all right.
11:25Wipe it again.
11:26All right, all right.
11:28That belt.
11:33Hat.
11:34I'll put it on for you.
11:40I'll do it.
11:43It's just a telegram.
11:45What's the hurry?
11:46It's a troublesome matter.
11:47The Japanese want to stop the internal strife in North Korea.
11:50It's cold.
11:52I have to go.
11:55Be good.
11:56It's really urgent.
11:58Your Majesty.
12:03Are you leaving just like that?
12:07What else do you want?
12:08What else do you want?
12:27We did it.
12:28We finally pulled out of the negotiations.
12:30Next time, we won't be able to adjust our position.
12:33Get in touch with the headquarters immediately.
12:35Organize 8,000 troops and head for North Korea.
12:38Make the situation tense and cause a storm.
12:43Let's go to the palace.
12:44Yes, sir.
12:45The government is here.
12:47Get out of here.
12:50Get out of here.
12:55You guys are here.
12:56Get out of here.
12:58Considering the internal strife in North Korea and the true situation in North Korea,
13:02we have set up a military headquarters as ordered.
13:05The Supreme Commander of this military headquarters will be appointed by himself.
13:10It has already been decided to launch a military mobilization.
13:17As for the details of the reform,
13:19I will explain to everyone from Lieutenant General Ito Yusuke.
13:258,004 troops led by Lieutenant General Yoshimasa Oshima
13:29have already started landing from Jinsen.
13:34Please take a look at this, Your Majesty.
13:43After the reform, the operation will be divided into three stages.
13:47In the first stage,
13:49the land and sea forces will cooperate to launch a two-sided operation.
13:54In the land forces,
13:56we will destroy the true North Korean invasion.
13:59We will take over the whole of North Korea.
14:02After that,
14:03our naval fleet will lead the North Korean fleet to the Korean Peninsula.
14:10In the first stage,
14:12the ultimate goal is to destroy the North Korean fleet.
14:15In the second stage,
14:17we will take over the Korean Peninsula and the three peninsulas.
14:22Based on this,
14:24in the final stage,
14:26the main force from North Korea will attack Beijing at once.
14:45Your Majesty's praise
14:48is as clear as the water of the Korean Peninsula.
14:58The victory of the empire has already been decided.
15:04The meeting has been prolonged.
15:07Let's have a meal here.
15:15Your Majesty, please have some water.
15:18Your Majesty, aren't you going to have a meal?
15:21Your Majesty, please have a meal.
15:26I beg you.
15:29Your Majesty.
15:33Your Majesty, please have a meal.
15:45Your Majesty, please have a meal.
15:52I have no objection.
15:55If you want me to have a meal,
16:01you must win this war.
16:07Yes, Your Majesty.
16:10I have no objection.
16:13I have no objection.
16:16I won.
16:19The war is about to begin.
16:22Junko always has Asahiko-san across the sea.
16:28Asahiko-san won't marry Junko anymore.
16:34But in my heart,
16:37Junko's husband, Asahiko-san,
16:41will always be alone.
16:44Hurry up.
16:47Hurry up.
16:50Hurry up.
16:53Hurry up.
16:56Hurry up.
16:59Hurry up.
17:02Hurry up.
17:05You can still make it.
17:08Line up.
17:26Please.
17:28Are you a war veteran?
17:31Yes.
17:33I'm sure of it. Please deliver it to him.
17:36What stage is he on now?
17:39He is the commander of the Yoshinogou.
17:43That's amazing.
17:45What's his name?
17:47Asahiko.
17:49He's 15 years old.
17:54Asahiko prioritized the country's interests
17:57and didn't let you have Junko.
18:01Instead, he went to Korea and China
18:04to get a lot of girls.
18:08It was difficult to express his feelings.
18:12Instead of Junko, he embroidered
18:15the poem of Tomiko Yamakawa
18:17with a red thread on a handkerchief.
18:20He put a white lily on his hair
18:23and the girl looked down and thought of him.
18:32It's done. Please try it.
18:43Be careful.
18:52Hong'er.
18:53My legs feel much better
18:56after you sewed these two padlocks.
18:59Really?
19:00Yes.
19:07It's just that it's not very convenient
19:10to walk here.
19:12Master, there's nothing we can do.
19:14We can only kneel for an hour.
19:21Hong'er.
19:23I have to kneel for hours
19:25on the day of the birthday celebration.
19:28The palace is full of green bricks.
19:31We don't have carpets.
19:34I don't know if I can stand it.
19:40Master, don't kneel.
19:42Have a rest.
19:59Hong'er.
20:01Is it better in the palace or here?
20:06Both are good.
20:08But the eunuchs in the palace
20:11can harm people.
20:14Did they harm you?
20:16Not me.
20:18Once, I accompanied the Empress Dowager
20:20to the newly built Yihe Garden Leshou Hall.
20:23In the future, Master will give the Empress Dowager
20:26the birthday celebration
20:28in that place.
20:30When I walked to the gate,
20:32there were glass teapots all over the floor.
20:34I couldn't step down.
20:36The Empress Dowager asked,
20:37what's wrong?
20:39Xiao Dezi said,
20:40these 100 lanterns
20:42were all given to you by Shuntian Fuyin.
20:44But they were broken.
20:48The Empress Dowager was angry.
20:50She called Shuntian Fuyin here immediately
20:52and asked him to lie on the ground
20:54and clean the glass teapots on the floor.
20:57Then I inquired,
20:59it turned out that Shuntian Fuyin
21:01didn't give money to Xiao Dezi.
21:03So he broke all the lanterns
21:06and harmed people.
21:08Master,
21:09do you think it's unethical?
21:13Unethical.
21:19I don't know if anyone will harm me.
21:25What worries me most
21:27is the birthday celebration.
21:31I can't give another parrot.
21:54Sorry.
22:17Excuse me.
22:21Chief Steward.
22:22Chief Steward.
22:23What are you doing?
22:25I'm tidying up here.
22:27Let those ministers who can't get along with us
22:29kneel here
22:31and feel comfortable.
22:41This brick is harder than iron.
22:45If you do this,
22:47can they stand it?
22:49I guess
22:50at the ceremony,
22:51those ministers who made Chief Steward angry
22:54will kneel on these bricks.
23:12Greetings, Your Majesty.
23:20It's just right.
23:26This should be Li Hongzhang's seat.
23:30I know
23:31Li Hongzhang is the first one
23:33Chief Steward hates.
23:35I must clean it up
23:36like a knife.
23:40What?
23:42What did you say?
23:43Xiao Dezi.
23:45I'm so cold-hearted.
23:48You take it.
23:50Hurry up.
24:14Come on.
24:15Put it here.
24:16Come on.
24:17Okay.
24:18Hurry up.
24:19Excuse me.
24:21Newly dyed red cloth.
24:23Freshly made.
24:25Boss.
24:26It's just a while.
24:27The price goes up again.
24:28It's the Empress Dowager's birthday.
24:29Red cloth is in short supply.
24:30It will go up later.
24:31How much do you want?
24:32How much do you have?
24:33I'll take all.
24:34I have four bags.
24:36Four? I'll take all.
24:38I'll take all.
24:39Okay.
24:40Take it away.
24:41Okay.
24:42Take it away.
24:43Get out of the way.
24:47Red cloth.
24:48We have only one in the whole sky.
24:49Three liang and five yuan.
24:50The Empress Dowager's birthday.
24:51Red cloth is in short supply.
24:52Three liang and five yuan.
24:53It will go up soon.
24:55It will go up later.
24:56Buy it quickly.
24:57How much do you want?
24:59How much do you want?
25:00Come down here.
25:01You listen to me.
25:02You're stealing my deal.
25:04Boss.
25:05You eat meat.
25:06I drink soup.
25:07You sell more.
25:08I sell more.
25:09You're still the one who makes a fortune.
25:11I ride a windmill.
25:12You ride the windmill.
25:13I drink northwest wind.
25:15What do you say?
25:16The cloth has come to me.
25:17I am here. I can do what I want.
25:18Keep selling.
25:20Do you know who is in charge of Tianqiao?
25:23Hit him!
25:42Lower, lower, lower.
25:44Lower. We need to be on the same side.
25:46Okay, okay.
25:47Is this okay?
25:50Okay.
25:52Okay, okay. Lower a bit more.
25:54Okay.
26:17I asked you to come here to ask
26:20why did you send your men to North Korea?
26:22That is to protect the interests of the Japanese imperialists
26:26and the Japanese citizens living in North Korea.
26:31Nonsense!
26:33According to the Sino-Japanese Treaty,
26:35no matter who sends troops,
26:37the Sino-Japanese countries must inform each other.
26:38Why didn't you do that?
26:40I did inform them.
26:43I informed the Prime Minister of North Korea,
26:44Mr. Ren Seigai.
26:48Comrade, you bastard!
26:55You are still a Chinese.
27:01Let me ask you.
27:02Is intelligence the same as comradeship?
27:07If you don't announce it,
27:09you are invading.
27:10Well, well, Mr. Prime Minister.
27:12Can you stop arguing based on words?
27:16Isn't the North Korean army
27:18also invading North Korea?
27:21You are doing this
27:22for the security of North Korea, aren't you?
27:27It's not a war.
27:28You are wrong.
27:31It's a friendship.
27:33It's a great friendship.
27:41This is a bill
27:43proposed by the government of our country.
27:47Please have a look.
27:50We are learning from the spirit of
27:53the Jukyo-no-toku-wa-o-tattobu.
27:55This is a bill
27:57that the two countries will cooperate
27:59to implement the reform of North Korea.
28:02This is interfering with the internal affairs of other countries.
28:04The Qing government will never allow it.
28:11If the negotiation with the Kikoku government is concluded,
28:15I will represent the Empire of Japan
28:19and officially announce the severance of diplomatic relations with Kikoku.
28:23And no matter what happens in the future,
28:27the government of our country
28:29will not take any responsibility.
28:33Shit!
28:36What a stupid Jokyo-no-toku-wa-o-tattobu.
28:40Your Lordship,
28:43the Queen Mother is dressing up.
28:46Please excuse me.
28:48Xiao Lizi, let her in.
28:50Yes.
28:56Greetings to the Queen Mother.
28:59I'm Li Zhongtang.
29:01You came at the right time.
29:03Look at how I made this robe.
29:06This is how I made it.
29:23It's very good.
29:25I don't want you to follow me.
29:28I want you to tell me the truth.
29:31The truth?
29:39Empress Dowager...
29:41Is it a little...
29:43Big?
29:45Big.
29:53Little Li...
29:55What do you think?
29:57It's not big.
29:59It's quite suitable.
30:01I am just a servant.
30:05Li Zhongtang said it's big.
30:08You really don't understand?
30:10Or are you pretending not to understand?
30:12I think...
30:14Even if Empress Dowager took off the clouds in the sky to make a robe...
30:18It wouldn't be an offence.
30:27Li Zhongtang.
30:29I'm here.
30:31A big one is good.
30:33It's the 60th birthday.
30:35Wear a big one to make it look good.
30:38Yes.
30:43Are you here to ask me...
30:46If I want to fight the Japanese?
30:49Empress Dowager is wise.
30:54I'll tell you the truth.
30:56I don't want to fight them.
31:00If I want to fight them...
31:02I'm 40 years old.
31:04My eyes are closed.
31:06When I'm 50 years old...
31:08I want to fight the French.
31:12It's hard to wait until the 60th birthday.
31:16I should have a good time.
31:23The Japanese are here again.
31:28Isn't it awkward?
31:30Xiao Li.
31:31Go get a mirror.
31:33Yes.
31:34If you don't want to fight...
31:36I'm the Empress Dowager.
31:38The Japanese are bullying us.
31:42I can't stand it.
31:45I've been thinking about it.
31:47I'll leave it to you.
31:52I don't understand.
31:54What's there to understand?
31:56Xiao Li.
31:57There's something wrong.
31:59Tell them to fix it.
32:01Yes.
32:02Empress Dowager.
32:05Should I fight or not?
32:07I must ask for permission.
32:09I think...
32:11you should write a memorial...
32:13to ask His Majesty to summon Prince Gong.
32:17I still don't understand.
32:22Li Zhongtang.
32:24What's wrong with you?
32:26Should I fight or not?
32:28Why are you forcing me?
32:30It's up to His Majesty.
32:33But I'll say it again.
32:35My memorial...
32:37can't be ignored.
32:41I understand.
32:43It's inevitable to fight.
32:46This is the greatest thing in the world.
32:50I'm willing to listen to you.
32:55Li Zhongtang.
32:57Yes.
32:58I'd like to hear your opinion.
33:00Your Majesty.
33:02I think...
33:04it's hard to say...
33:06whether we should fight or not.
33:08We should prepare for war...
33:10and ask for permission...
33:12from Britain and Russia.
33:14That's the only way.
33:16If we don't get permission...
33:18will our army be able to win?
33:21No.
33:22Why not?
33:23In terms of naval forces...
33:25the only ones I can send...
33:27are the Huai Army and the Beiyang Navy.
33:30Some of them are stationed in Zhili...
33:33and are stationed outside the capital.
33:35The rest are stationed in Fengtian.
33:38That's where the dragon veins are.
33:41We can't afford to make a mistake.
33:44If we go to Yuan Dynasty...
33:46we'll leave a gap.
33:49As for the Beiyang Navy...
33:51there are only eight ships...
33:54that can participate in the naval battle.
33:57The rest of the ships...
33:59can only be used for transport and training.
34:02Once the naval battle begins...
34:04we won't be able to win.
34:08Isn't it the most powerful fleet in the Far East?
34:11How did it become a fleet...
34:13with only eight ships?
34:15Why can't even the Japanese win?
34:17As far as I know...
34:19the power of the Beiyang Navy...
34:21and the Japanese Navy...
34:23should be in the middle.
34:25Don't make yourself sound so pitiful.
34:28You want to preserve your strength, don't you?
34:31Shut up!
34:32Li Zhongtang.
34:33Yes, Your Majesty.
34:34Compared to the Japanese pirates...
34:36don't we have no advantage?
34:38We do.
34:39The Beiyang Navy...
34:41has two warships, Dingyuan and Zhenyuan.
34:44Their size is inferior to that of the Japanese pirates.
34:47Because of their size...
34:49they are too heavy and slow.
34:52Dingyuan and Zhenyuan have three ships.
34:54Their power is not inferior to that of the Japanese pirates.
34:57But they are too slow...
34:59and their speed is slow.
35:01Your Majesty.
35:03If the Japanese pirates are faster than us...
35:06we will be weaker.
35:08We don't know who will win.
35:11How many ships are faster than us?
35:13There are 21 ships...
35:15that can be used by the new and old Japanese warships.
35:18That's more than our army.
35:21Nine of them...
35:23were built in Guangxu 15 years ago.
35:25Five years ago, they were built year by year.
35:28Their speed...
35:30is 23 nautical miles per hour.
35:33The rest of the ships...
35:35are about 20 nautical miles per hour.
35:37Our warships were built before that.
35:40At that time, the ships built by the Westerners...
35:43were 15 to 18 nautical miles per hour.
35:48On average...
35:49the speed of the Japanese warships...
35:51is about 5 nautical miles per hour.
35:54Does that mean...
35:56we can't fight?
35:58Your Majesty.
35:59Our ships are not all capable of fighting.
36:02But we must know...
36:04how to defend ourselves.
36:06Since our ships are slow...
36:08we can't attack.
36:10But our warships...
36:12can defend themselves.
36:14What I mean is...
36:16I have a long way to go.
36:19Once the war starts...
36:21I must defend my ships.
36:24Defend your ships?
36:26You're afraid of your enemies.
36:28What are you afraid of?
36:30I'm fighting the Japanese pirates.
36:32I must defend my ships.
36:34If you defend your ships, you'll be strong.
36:36If you defend your ships, you'll be weak.
36:38I'm a righteous warrior.
36:40I must defend my ships.
36:42I must defend my ships.
36:45You sound so confident.
36:48I've been talking for a long time.
36:50What do you mean by...
36:52speed up or slow down?
36:54Don't you understand?
36:56I don't understand.
36:58Weapons are the key to war.
37:00But it's not the key to victory or defeat.
37:02The key to victory or defeat...
37:04is the will of the people.
37:06You only know how to talk about war.
37:10Let me tell you.
37:12Our main force...
37:14Dingyuan's airspeed...
37:16is 14.5 knots.
37:18And Japan's night speed...
37:20is 22.5 knots.
37:22When it wants to hit you...
37:24it can catch up with you.
37:26And when you want to hit it...
37:28it has already run away.
37:30What about the speed?
37:32We fire in five minutes.
37:34And the enemy...
37:36fires in five minutes.
37:38Ji Zhi.
37:40Please tell me.
37:42In the moment of war...
37:44how can the people...
37:46stop it?
37:48As far as I know...
37:50our Beiyang ships...
37:52have five cannons.
37:54Even if it fires five cannons...
37:56it can't compare to our one cannon.
37:58When we fight on the sea...
38:00even if I receive five cannons...
38:02so what?
38:04As long as we fight together...
38:06our one cannon can destroy it.
38:08Well said.
38:10Well said.
38:12Our Dingyuan and Zhenyuan...
38:14two armored ships...
38:16have ten-inch cannons.
38:18It's true.
38:20But let me ask you.
38:22What about the cannons?
38:24We don't need to talk about the cannons.
38:26The war is not over yet.
38:28Why do we talk about such a trifle?
38:30A trifle?
38:32What Ji Zhi said is not a trifle.
38:34All right.
38:36Today, I'm not afraid...
38:38of being accused of deceiving the emperor.
38:40Your Majesty.
38:42Last year, Prince Chun inspected the Beiyang Ships.
38:44The Dingyuan and Zhenyuan cannons...
38:46exploded.
38:48The whole world was shocked.
38:50But do you all know?
38:52The ships...
38:54are explosives.
38:56They were detonated...
38:58with the flesh and blood of our Beiyang Ships.
39:00What's going on?
39:02The two cannons of our Beiyang Ships...
39:04have only one cannon...
39:06with ten-inch cannons.
39:08What kind of warship...
39:10is this?
39:12It's a dead fish...
39:14floating in the sea.
39:16What about the cannons?
39:18What about the cannons?
39:22Your Majesty.
39:24Please ask Master Weng.
39:26Please ask Master Weng.
39:32Go ahead.
39:36Your Majesty.
39:38Although I am the Prime Minister,
39:40I have always...
39:42followed the rules.
39:44But the war broke out.
39:46Who...
39:48could have thought...
39:50You bastard!
39:56Your Majesty.
40:00Your Majesty.
40:02I have nothing to argue with.
40:06But for the past few years,
40:08the Ministry of Revenue...
40:10has not given any money.
40:14Even the Empress Dowager's...
40:1650,000th birthday celebration...
40:18is a big event.
40:20Isn't it?
40:22Your Majesty.
40:24I understand.
