00:00Next, let me introduce Chief Commander of the Japanese fleet, General Yu Kei.
00:07I am satisfied with the understanding of the Japanese government towards the Qing Dynasty.
00:12I also heard that your army has announced
00:16that it will not participate in the invasion of our local provinces.
00:20Just like Russia, I think the Empress Dowager's declaration of war is reasonable.
00:26However, our Great Japanese Empire is in the hands of the Japanese Empire.
00:31Let's talk in private.
00:33Next, we have General of the Italian Army, General Rion.
00:39Next to him, we have Chief Commander of the French Army, General Letelier.
00:46Next, we have the Chief Commander of the Austrian Army, General Nick.
00:52Next to him, we have the...
00:54All right, Marshal Wadegi.
00:57I'm old. I can't remember you introducing the generals of each country like this.
01:03We have invited you here today because we want to know your opinion on the terms of peace talks.
01:13They want to know our opinion.
01:17Can you listen?
01:19Can you listen?
01:22You have tens of thousands of soldiers and guns.
01:27Can you listen to what I have to say to a 70-year-old man?
01:35Peace talks?
01:38Did you come up with the terms of peace talks?
01:43A group of wolves broke into a sheepfold.
01:47Will they make peace with the sheep?
01:51What a joke.
01:53Minister Li, listening to your opinion is simply a courtesy.
01:57It is not something that we have to do.
02:01This is what a wolf would say.
02:04Marshal Wadegi, you don't have to listen to me.
02:10But I have come here today to say something.
02:16Please.
02:18Don't you want to divide China?
02:22To divide China is to make peace talks.
02:26You know that we Chinese are calm and collected.
02:31We never make trouble.
02:33But why are so many people joining the peace talks?
02:37Because you foreigners are not following the rules in our Qing Dynasty.
02:42You are burning and killing people.
02:45That's absolutely disgraceful.
02:47If you divide China,
02:50will there be fewer peace talks than today?
02:55Or will there be more than today?
02:58There will be more than today.
03:00There will be peace talks everywhere.
03:02There will be peace talks for everyone.
03:05Even I will join the peace talks.
03:10What will be the consequences then?
03:13But we are not afraid of anything.
03:16That was an accident.
03:23Accident?
03:26Why don't you continue fighting?
03:29The Empress Dowager and the Emperor are in Xi'an, Shaanxi.
03:33Why don't you continue chasing them?
03:38Why don't you continue your pursuit and also reparation?
03:42In the midday battle, our Qing Dynasty lost.
03:46We lost 20,000 taels of silver.
03:48I don't know when we can pay it back.
03:50Because our government's annual income is 88 million.
03:54And the expenditure is 110 million.
03:58It belongs to the deficit finance.
04:00That is not our problem.
04:03Of course you don't have to worry about this.
04:07But you want our Qing Dynasty to compensate 100,000 taels of silver.
04:11If you keep nagging like this,
04:13our Qing Dynasty's economy will collapse.
04:16By then, you won't even be able to take a single tael of silver.
04:21I assure you, we will collect it anyway.
04:24I know, I know.
04:26You have means. You have guns and cannons.
04:32If you don't give us money, we'll kill you.
04:35Isn't that right?
04:37Marshal, there is a saying in China.
04:41If the people are not afraid of death, why should we be afraid of death?
04:45I'll tell you one more thing.
04:48Our people are not afraid of living.
04:53Why should we be afraid of death?
04:57All right.
04:59That's all I wanted to say today.
05:03First, the Empress Dowager can't be on your list of war criminals.
05:10Second, as for reparation,
05:13our Qing Dynasty doesn't have much money to give you.
05:16Third, if you want to carve up China,
05:20go ahead.
05:22As long as you can defend yourself.
05:24If you have to kill the Empress Dowager,
05:27if you have to push our Qing Dynasty to the brink of death,
05:32then you can come.
05:36Our Qing Dynasty will give you ten thousand people.
05:39We will accompany you to the end.
05:44Your Highness, let's go.
05:46Yes, let's go.
05:58Now he's leaving.
06:00I can't believe it.
06:03The purpose of today's meeting
06:06is to discuss the peace talks with the Qing government.
06:11However, before we begin,
06:15my assistant has a report that I would like him to read it for you,
06:19as I think it's very important.
06:22Start.
06:23The German chief commander has ordered 26 military doctors,
06:2652 privates and some western-trained local doctors
06:29to station at the 13 gates of Beijing city for the last few days.
06:33According to our German entry army standard,
06:36from every 100 Chinese men aged from 18 to 60,
06:3995% seems to be qualified for the German army.
06:43And the conclusion is...
06:45The conclusion is that the physical condition,
06:48the wisdom and the knowledge of the Chinese people
06:51is not any less than us white people.
06:54And how about the letter I asked you to write?
06:57Yeah, you did, but you didn't give me the address,
07:00so I don't know how to write it to you.
07:03Address it to our king and include in what you have just said.
07:07Address it to our king and include in what you have just said.
07:12Inform the king that we have examined Minister Li Hongzhang's body
07:17and we have performed x-rays.
07:20Also include this.
07:38Gentlemen, you've all come here to carve up China in parts,
07:43but we have seen recently by what has happened
07:46that what we will get is not hold of China,
07:49but only the hate of all the Chinese people.
07:52Never forget, this is not Europe,
07:55this is not China,
07:57this is not China,
07:59this is not Europe,
08:01this is not China,
08:03this is not Europe,
08:05Never forget, this is not Europe or Africa.
08:09In the view of the Chinese people, there is only one China,
08:13and I can assure you, as sure as the sun will rise tomorrow morning,
08:17that they will come together as one,
08:20and we will never have peace.
08:23As for compensation,
08:26they will certainly repay us our expenses for our military actions,
08:32but we must be very careful of the amount.
08:36Surely an affordable amount is the best,
08:39payable in installments, of course.
08:43My suggestion is that every one of the 450 million population
08:49each pay one liang silver each.
08:53That sounds reasonable, doesn't it?
09:02And in regards to punishing the rebel leaders,
09:12the problem with that is do we really want them to be killed?
09:18And Empress Cixi, in other words,
09:22do we prefer a conservative and stable Qing government
09:29or would we prefer a Chinese government in turmoil and upheaval?
09:36The key point here is do we want to do business
09:41with this vast market in the future
09:44or do we want to rule a vast market that's an unrulable colony?
09:51As far as I'm concerned,
09:55Yikuang and Li Hongzhang did a good job.
10:00They didn't take away our sovereignty,
10:04they didn't give us our land,
10:07they just took our silver.
10:10But Empress Dowager, this is our 45,000 liang silver.
10:15We have to pay it back in 39 years.
10:18In other words, in these 39 years,
10:21all of our taxes, salt and peat, and our income
10:24have to be paid in debt.
10:27Our Qing government won't have any money to spend.
10:31Even though we have a little more,
10:34we can only rely on our own efforts.
10:38Just give it to them.
10:41As for the deal with Huoshou,
10:44Li Hongzhang said in his report
10:47that if Huoshou doesn't sign the deal with Xianyu,
10:51all the countries won't sign the contract
10:55and they won't withdraw from Beijing.
10:58This depends on the foreigners.
11:01Xiao Lizi, change your mind.
11:04Yes.
11:06But why am I not on the list of Huoshou?
11:10The foreigners finally understand.
11:13Zongrong Yi and his gang
11:16were created by Gang Yi, Xu Tong, and Yu Xian.
11:20It had nothing to do with the Empress Dowager.
11:23That's true.
11:25If they kill me too,
11:28who will they ask for money from?
11:31It's just that these ministers
11:34may have the most merit,
11:37but when they are about to die,
11:40I heard that they were going to kill
11:43all the 174 ministers.
11:46I'm really sad.
11:49I'm really sad.
11:52I'm really sad.
11:55I'm really sad.
11:59Your Majesty.
12:02Your Majesty.
12:04My father has the final say.
12:07Since the foreigners are going to kill them,
12:10let's say that they are doing their best for the country.
12:14Your Majesty, please choose.
12:16I obey.
12:28Sigh.
12:32It's finally over.
12:37Oh, right.
12:39Did you get me my wedding dress?
12:42Li Hongzhang mentioned it in the memorial.
12:45He said that they also went to get it.
12:48But Marshal Wadi Xi said that he lost it.
12:51Lost it?
12:55These foreigners are talking nonsense.
12:58Tell Li Hongzhang to get it for me.
13:06Master.
13:08Master, don't eat it.
13:15Master, don't eat it.
13:24This...
13:28Master, look.
13:37Master, you are pulling your stomach so hard.
13:40If you keep eating like this,
13:42aren't you committing suicide, Master?
13:45The decree of the Minister of War.
13:48The Minister of War, Minister of Personnel,
13:51Gang Yi, is to be executed.
13:54The end.
14:15Xu Tong, Xu Chengyu, receive the decree.
14:21The two palaces are concerned about the old minister.
14:24Xu Tong, Xu Chengyu, receive the decree.
14:27I receive the decree.
14:30Thank you, Your Majesty.
14:45I...
14:47I...
15:13You want me to die.
15:16I have no choice but to die.
15:19For the country's loyalty,
15:22I would rather die.
15:25Let's go.
15:39Father, I want to go to school.
15:42I want to be an official for you.
15:45Then I will follow you.
15:48My good son.
15:53Empress Dowager.
15:56Your Majesty.
16:05The end.
16:15I...
16:23I didn't do it.
16:26I didn't do it.
16:33You guys are early.
16:36Come. Please sit.
16:46Everyone, please sit.
16:51Everyone, you have been following me for many years.
16:56I invited everyone here today
16:59to say goodbye to everyone.
17:03The imperial court has decreed
17:05that I, Yu Xian, will be executed.
17:10Actually,
17:12from the first day I killed the foreigners,
17:16I had already decided my life and death.
17:20Now that my ambition has not been fulfilled,
17:23death is not enough.
17:27I hope that you will inherit my will.
17:32Don't forget the country's loyalty.
17:37Cheers.
17:43Do it now!
18:02Father, the King of Qin has been waiting for you for a long time.
18:06Let him wait a little longer.
18:10You go.
18:12Yes.
18:14Ling, go back there.
18:17Ling, Ling, Ling, go back there.
18:21Go back there.
18:23Ling, Ling, Ling, go back there.
18:26Ling, go back there.
18:29Ling, Ling, Ling, go back there.
18:32I am the first to be executed.
18:36I am deeply grateful.
18:39I am in danger every time.
18:42I am ashamed of myself.
18:47The King of Qin has issued a decree.
18:49According to the treaty,
18:51due to the importance of the relationship between the temple and the country,
18:55all the twelve principles must be obeyed.
18:58The first one.
18:59The German ambassador to China, Kohlinde, was killed.
19:02The King of Qin personally sent Prince Chun, Zaifeng,
19:05to represent the King of Qin
19:07in front of the German Emperor
19:09as a representative of the country.
19:11The second one.
19:12The first to be executed,
19:14was the King of Qin.
19:16According to the decree,
19:18174 people will be executed.
19:20The third one.
19:21The King of Qin was imprisoned.
19:23During the rebellion,
19:25foreign people were killed and abused.
19:27The imperial examination was suspended for five years.
19:30The sixth one.
19:31The King of Qin has decided
19:33to pay 4.5 billion taels of silver to each country.
19:36The ninth one.
19:37The King of Qin has decided
19:39to send troops to some places in China.
19:41According to your decision,
19:43there are five provinces...
19:44The most difficult thing to write in the world
19:46is your own name.
19:48If you sign the treaty,
19:51it will be a long name.
19:59Your Highness.
20:00You are still young.
20:02You still have a long way to go.
20:04Let me do it.
20:09Your Highness.
20:39Your Highness.
20:40Your Highness.
20:41Your Highness.
21:09The King of Qin's Mansion
21:18Run!
21:19Where are you going?
21:21This chicken is so clever.
21:24Yes.
21:25It almost killed me.
21:27Catch it.
21:31Catch it.
21:35What are you doing?
21:37What are you doing?
21:39I found a chicken.
21:42It's just a chicken.
21:43Why do you have to do this?
21:44A chicken.
21:45You are right.
21:46The war has been going on for years.
21:48I searched five villages
21:49before I found this chicken.
21:51Besides,
21:52the Queen Mother is going to give birth.
21:53What are you waiting for?
21:54Go and catch it.
21:55Hurry up.
21:56Where are you going?
22:07You...
22:12It took you a lot of effort to get it.
22:14We spent a lot of effort
22:16to catch you.
22:18It's better to wait for the rabbit
22:20than to die in a hurry.
22:38You...
22:42What's wrong?
22:43Something big happened.
22:44Be careful.
22:51I deserve to die.
22:54The Ninth Article of the contract says
22:57that Lie Qiang can live in the Qing Dynasty.
23:00I think
23:02you can live in the Qing Dynasty
23:03and we can live in the Qing Dynasty.
23:05It's not a big deal.
23:07Unexpectedly,
23:08the foreigners made a contract
23:10and set up a trap.
23:14Wait a minute.
23:18It's this one.
23:19It's 20 miles away.
23:21We are not allowed to live in the Qing Dynasty.
23:36I see it clearly.
23:40The foreigners didn't kill me,
23:43but they still didn't let me go back.
23:46Tianjin is the gate of Beijing.
23:50If the foreigners guard it,
23:52I can't sleep well
23:55even if I go back to the palace.
24:06Sigh...
24:09I have been forced by the foreigners
24:12to stay in Chengde City
24:15for a year
24:18when I was young
24:21with your Emperor Wen Zong.
24:24This time,
24:28I was forced by the foreigners
24:32to stay in this barren land
24:36for a year and a half.
24:39I suffered a lot when I came here.
24:43Will I die
24:46on the way back?
24:55I'm incompetent.
24:57I will find a way.
25:01The contract has been signed.
25:03What else can we do?
25:05There is a way.
25:07There must be a way.
25:10We have crossed the river.
25:14Such a small river.
25:22Commander.
25:23Commander.
25:24What's wrong with you?
25:25Commander.
25:26What's wrong with you?
25:27Get a chair.
25:28Hurry up.
25:29Hurry up.
25:30Commander.
25:31I'm here.
25:32Hurry up.
25:34Hurry up.
25:35Hurry up.
25:36Drink some water.
25:37No need.
25:40Father Qin.
25:41Father Qin.
25:42Father Qin.
25:43Father Qin.
25:44Sit down.
25:45Father Qin.
25:47Father Qin.
25:48You...
25:49Father Qin.
25:59Your Majesty.
26:01I...
26:04I recommend Yuan Shikai to you.
26:09Let him be the governor
26:13and take over Tianjin's defense.
26:17Maybe he will find a way.
26:24You haven't decided yet.
26:27I know.
26:29I know.
26:31But for the return of the Empress Dowager,
26:36I think
26:38President Li will recommend Yuan Shikai.
26:46Your Majesty.
26:56Your Majesty.
27:12The Empress Dowager really likes this.
27:14She likes to listen to it.
27:16This thing is put in the Empress Dowager's bedroom.
27:19The people I sent to pick grass and beat rabbits
27:22even broke those things.
27:26Shi'an.
27:27Change another one.
27:28Change another one.
27:39This tune is nice.
27:46Shi'an.
27:47Why didn't Xu Renxiong come back with you?
27:51Magistrate Xu said that
27:52Lord Qin asked him to stay
27:53to do a good deed for him.
27:57Shi'an.
27:58How much money do you think we need
28:00to make such a western band?
28:02I heard about it when I was in Beijing.
28:04That's a lot of money.
28:06Western instruments have to be imported from Hong Kong.
28:10Is it urgent?
28:14Yes.
28:17The musicians have to be bought from Hong Kong.
28:20But the money...
28:22Yes.
28:23Yes.
28:24The money...
28:27You only know to listen to this old man.
28:32Are you going to celebrate
28:34Xiaojiu's 100th day or not?
28:39Yingzi. Yingzi. Yingzi.
28:42What's wrong?
28:45Don't touch this casually.
28:49What's wrong?
28:50What's wrong?
28:56What did you say just now?
28:58I said Xiaojiu's 100th day.
29:01Pass.
29:0399 to 1.
29:04I, Yuan Shikai, have nine sons.
29:07Pass.
29:08You must pass.
29:10How to pass?
29:11The accountant said that
29:13there was only 200 taels of silver in the warehouse.
29:17Leave this matter to me.
29:19Don't worry.
29:23You have to hurry up.
29:24Okay.
29:25So that you can prepare early.
29:26Okay.
29:27Lord Yang is here.
29:33Lord Yang.
29:34Did you hear what your sister-in-law said just now?
29:38I heard it.
29:41You have to think of a way.
29:47Think of a way.
29:51I understand.
30:06Master.
30:07Are you here to save money?
30:10I'm talking to your shopkeeper.
30:12I'm the shopkeeper.
30:15What's the matter?
30:18Do you know who I am?
30:21Please forgive me.
30:23I don't know.
30:26It doesn't matter if you don't know who I am.
30:28If you don't know who my master is,
30:32that's the real Yan Zhuo.
30:35May I ask who your master is?
30:37Yan Zhuo.
30:38May I ask who your master is?
30:41Lord Yuan of Shandong Fucai.
30:44Look at you.
30:45I'm not just Yan Zhuo.
30:47I'm Yan Xia.
30:48What's your last name?
30:50My last name is Yang.
30:52So it's Lord Yang.
30:53Lord Yang, please.
30:54This way, please.
30:55Waiter, serve the soup.
30:56Okay.
30:59Lord Yang is here to save money, right?
31:03I'm not here to save money.
31:05Lord Yuan of Shandong Fucai is here to save money.
31:11Lord Yuan.
31:13There's a sum of money for you.
31:17Oh my god.
31:18Keep your voice down.
31:21I was so surprised these days.
31:24I felt like I was in the God of Wealth.
31:28Let me tell you.
31:30This is a huge sum of money.
31:34So, my lord.
31:35Let me ask you this first.
31:38How much interest do you have?
31:41Lord Yang, please.
31:44I have the highest interest rate in the whole Jinan Prefecture.
31:47How much?
31:4880%.
31:49Nonsense.
31:51You think I don't know?
31:53Lord Zhang and Lord Li of the governor's office
31:56and many other lords
31:57all save money here, right?
31:58They told me a long time ago.
32:00You save 10% here.
32:02No way.
32:04The money all the lords save here
32:06is 80%.
32:08Then forget it.
32:10Lord Yang.
32:11Lord Yang.
32:12Lord Yang, please wait.
32:19Waiter.
32:20Take care of the account book.
32:21Okay.
32:24According to the rules,
32:25we can't show the account book to outsiders.
32:28Now that Lord Yang is here,
32:30let's show it to him.
32:33Lord Yang, look.
32:38This is Lord Zhang's.
32:42This is Lord Wang's.
32:45This is...
32:48This is Lord Li's.
32:50All the money all the lords save here
32:52is 80%.
32:53I didn't lie to you, did I?
32:58It's all 80%.
33:00I believe it.
33:01But...
33:03Lord Yuan may not believe it.
33:08How about this?
33:13You'd better bring me a piece of paper.
33:15I'll copy it
33:16and bring it back to Lord Yuan.
33:19If he believes it,
33:21this place
33:22will be Lord Zhang's bank.
33:30Lord Yang.
33:31It's been years.
33:34I'm old and poor.
33:37I don't have any money.
33:39Yes.
33:40That's what Fu Tai thinks.
33:44Everyone.
33:45Listen to me.
33:46Listen to me.
33:47The ticket shop owner
33:49is really hateful.
33:51He dared to pretend to be famous
33:53and swindled everywhere.
33:55He said you saved money from him
33:57and it was public money.
34:00The ticket shop owner
34:01is so kind to our officials.
34:03It's unbearable.
34:05It's outrageous.
34:06Yes.
34:07Lord Yuan knows it.
34:09Lord Yuan is very shocked.
34:12As an official,
34:13I can do whatever I want.
34:14I can do whatever I want.
34:16Please ask Lord Yang
34:17to investigate the ticket shop owner
34:18and give me my name back.
34:19Yes.
34:20Give me my name back.
34:21Yes.
34:22I've done it.
34:24And I've figured it out.
34:26You didn't save money
34:28in the ticket shop.
34:30And you never embezzled public money.
34:32Yes.
34:33I promise you
34:34from now on,
34:35if anyone dares to say
34:36you embezzled public money again,
34:37he will be an official who
34:38framed our Qing Dynasty.
34:40Yes.
34:41Thank you, Lord Yang.
34:42Bring him in.
34:50This...
35:00This...
35:06You've seen it.
35:09I'll do as you wish.
35:12I'll confiscate all the money
35:15in your name
35:17and give it to you
35:19in your name.
35:24From now on,
35:26I'll give it back to you.
35:30See him out.
35:50Look.
35:51That one is from Lord Liu.
35:53That one is from Lord Wang.
35:56Look at this one.
35:57I like it the most.
35:59Look.
36:01It's so delicate.
36:02Good. Good.
36:03Good. Good.
36:04Come here.
36:07Look at this one.
36:08Look at this one.
36:09Yes.
36:10Look at this one.
36:11Look at this one.
36:12It looks like it can speak.
36:14Yes.
36:15Yes.
36:16Clever.
36:17Very clever.
36:18Look at this one.
36:19Look.
36:20Look at this one.
36:21Good.
36:24Look.
36:26Good.
36:27Is it good?
36:28It's good.
36:30Look.
36:32Look.
36:33Is it good?
36:34Look.
36:35Come on.
36:36Look.
36:41Come on.
36:42I'll put it on for you.
36:47Lord Yinqiang.
36:48You can't use this one.
36:49You can't use it.
36:50You can't use it.
36:51This one is heavy.
36:53It's my duty.
36:54It's my duty.
36:55I've been away from the capital for more than a year.
36:57This is all I have left.
36:59Just take it as a little toy for the child to play with.
37:02Thank you very much, Lord.
37:05Look at this child.
37:06It's really thanks to all the princes.
37:11All the princes.
37:12The food is ready.
37:13Please come in.
37:15Old Zhang.
37:17All these things.
37:18Please.
37:19How much do you think it's worth?
37:20I can't say for sure.
37:21The boss of the bank has the final say.
37:24Under the imperial decree.
37:25Yuan Shikai receives the decree.
