[ Ming Dynasty ] EP28

Mr. Mo.

Is the crown prince ok?

Yin Deficiency and Yang Excess Syndrome.

And serious shortage of Qi and blood.

He has diabetes.

Recently he worked late.

I think it's so problematic.

Mr. Mo.

You are our dynasty's Hua Tuo.

The imperial hospital will hail you as the leader.

The crown prince can't be sick in bed.

Now our country is at war.

We have the urgent intelligence days and nights.

We have the urgent intelligence days and nights.

And we need to discuss.

The intelligence can't be delayed.

We know the crown prince is in poor health.

But we can't delay the military intelligence.

Mr. Mo.

Three of us receive orders in the face of danger.

What's the battle all about?

It's all about logistics.

Supply matters.

The emperor is absent.

Crown prince is the highest official.

We need to keep the crown prince safe.

I know.

I have been the crown prince's doctor for more than two years.

Now no medicine can cure him.

His body is exhausted.

If he conserves his spirit, he will have more time.

If he still racks his brains, God bless.

Mr. Mo.

I need the diagnostic logout.

No.

The emperor is the first one to know the prescription for royal family members.

If you don't mind, you can copy it.

We can give it to the emperor on your behalf.

Well.

The rain there is so strange.

Since it's so urgent, we can hand it in with the military intelligence.

I don't think it's appropriate.

We three are supervising the country.

We can't delay.

Please.

I just want to say one thing.

Try your best to take care of the crown prince.

But the diagnostic logout...

You can't tell the prescription to others.

And we will talk to the crown princess.

This is a national event.

We can't be careful enough.

Eat...

Sir, your food is here.

To the crown prince's health, and the emperor's victory.

Cheers.

You can drink alone.

Save your excuses.

Guys.

I want to make a big trouble.

If you don't want to get involved, I will answer it alone.

I won't send this diagnostic logout to the emperor.

I tell you two things.

Stop making troubles for the emperor.

First, it's no use even if he knows.

Second, prince Han and prince Zhao are the emperor's hands for the wars.

They can see all the memorials to the emperor.

If there is something wrong to the crown prince,

it will be a good chance for them.

The battle is like a raging fire.

If they divide the troops,

and come here to fight for the throne,

the emperor will be in a dilemma.

It's very danger.

In a word, the little paper is the blasting fuse.

We three are the originators.

So do you agree?

The stakes...

You know the stakes.

I think the emperor will change the successor on the battlefield.

Prince Han will be the crown prince.

The emperor is aggressive and fierce.

He won't let the prince Han and prince Zhao leave him.

Let alone pass the throne to grandson so soon.

This is exactly like the campaign of Jingnan.

This is corrupt politics, Yang Shiqi.

If prince Han becomes the emperor, what will happen?

A heroic and enterprising emperor.

But he is overambitious.

Is there anyone of prince Han's kids enterprising like an imperial grandson?

No.

The emperor praised him.

I think the country's next 50 years will be

in crown prince and his son's hands.

I am with you.

Lord Yang.

Second.

Second.

This is our little secret.

We stand on the crown prince's side.

Either prince Han or prince Zhao becomes the emperor.

We will be confiscated and exiled.

We will be infamous for the corrupt politicians in history.

Don't be conformist.

I'm not Zhao Gao.

Imperial grandson is not the second emperor of the Qin dynasty.

Please, we can't be so sissy.

The decision is final.

Three battalions defending Beijing and prince Zhao's troops

will be transferred to Shandong.

General in Shandong is promoted by the crown prince.

Now we need their help.

Close nine cities and Shanhai Pass.

No entering in Jinyang, Datong, and Xunhua without the imperial decree.

Sit well.

Time to take medicine.

After taking the medicine, just lie down.

Don't go anywhere.

You don't need to push yourself so hard.

Where is Yang Shiqi?

As I know, they have urgent military intelligence.

I scold them away.

Tell the ministers of defense to wait in the study.

I can't walk.

No way.

The doctor said, you need more rest.

You can't do anything.

You can't do anything.

My son in the hands of others.

We can't be careful enough.

If you don't care about the son, I will have rest.

Crown prince.

It's urgent military intelligence.

Shenji Camp.

Push the cannon back.

Put the gunpowder away.

It will rain harder and harder.

Hurry.

Hurry.

Put gunpowder away.

Crown prince.

Crown prince.

Sit.

Sit.

After August, it will get cold on grassland.

I remember last time the mid-autumn festival.

It snowed hard over there.

But the emperor can't stand any longer.

Yes.

But now the emperor has divided the army..

So he still goes on fighting.

We share the same opinion.

The best plan is that the emperor can retreat with the main force.

Prince Han and prince Zhao can give a quick rescue.

They have high combat effectiveness.

I think tribe Tartar won't overestimate themselves.

If they move on, God knows what will happen.

Not entirely.

I know my father's temper.

He is so stubborn.

He pushes himself so hard.

Crown prince, military intelligence.

Put it here.

Now it's so difficult to persuade him to retreat.

Well.

Do you have any ideas?

Send more reinforcements.

Yes. Reinforcements.

The thing is the bad weather.

Morale is low.

It's not because we have no enough soldiers.

It's God's decision to make.

In the year of the campaign of Jingnan, the emperor led the army to Jinan.

He wanted to take the waterway from the canal right into Nanjing.

When the army got on board, but who could know,

there was no wind at all there for ten days.

All the soldiers need to row the boat.

Five or six miles a day.

But the emperor turned deaf to all suggestions.

We have the wind while moving.

Otherwise, we will have no wind for good.

How stubborn he is!

Beijing's defense is changed.

Who transferred the army in Shandong here?

I'm waiting.

Crown prince.

I'm afraid if the military intelligence leaks, the moral of the army will be shaken.

Shanhai Pass.

Jinyang, Datong and Beijing.

They changed the defense at the same time.

So you don't report this?

What will others think of you?

You want to be the emperor?

You will lose your head for it.

Go home.

Bid your family a farewell.

Crown prince.

Crown prince.

Crown prince. The world can't be in an uproar.

Now you are in poor health. And they are fighting hard on the battlefield.

If prince Han and prince Zhan have an improper thought,

the world will be in chaos.

If the emperor returns safely, three of us will kill ourselves.

Crown prince.

You are the chief plotter.

Yes.

So it's so terrible on the frontline?

The emperor doesn't know to retreat.

The weather is not good for us.

We are so passive.

I am so afraid...

If the emperor fails, a serious problem will happen.

Prince Han and Prince Zhao come to repeat the campaign of Jingnan.

They will arrive here in one day.

It will be a total mess.

Crown prince.

Did the emperor know they changed the four places' defense?

If the emperor knows this, he will come back right away.

Crown prince.

I am in charge of the military intelligence.

And the intelligence won't be leaked out.

My second brother has been planning for so many years.

My third brother is good at intelligence collecting.

They won't know this?

I don't believe.

Crown prince.

Crown prince.

Crown prince.

You should go back.

I need to find out the solution.

You know nothing.

After the three gorges, the mountains will form away.

Only one horse can go through at one time.

It's difficult for the cannons and wagons to go through.

There are 30,000 soldiers of Tartar and Oirat.

So we can't go this way.

So we can't go this way.

Boy.

Who are you talking to?

Huh?

What did you say?

I say.

I am talking nonsense.

As long as we pass three Gorges, we will see Tartar's barrack.

We must take down two mountains.

If we bypass the mountains, I don't know how long the battle will last.

If it snows hard in September,

it's not good for the fight.

Father.

I and prince Zhao will lead 100,000 soldiers separately.

We will tempt them out with our cavalry.

And stop his cavalry speed with cannons.

Here is narrow, there is nothing to be afraid of.

Second brother and I will go to the mountain from both sides.

We will have advantages from the mountain top.

What is your opinion?

You want to ask for death.

What can I do?

This is what the battle's all about.

Uncle.

Someone said we would end the battle by Jun.

It's August now.

It's not the half.

Who said this?

I said.

Say it.

Go on.

I just want to know why our march goes so slow.

The rain comes early this year.

Kerulen River gets flooded.

Our cavalry and cannons can't do anything.

Can't we fight without the cannons and blunderbusses?

This is our dynasty's military strategy.

And the military strategy should be determined by the situation.

Our cavalry can't do anything.

Their cavalry can't do anything, either.

Why do we suffer the loss always?

Boy.

It's not so easy to fight a battle.

We need to struggle through.

No.

So stupid.

In the battle of Hulanhushiwen,

our army was so passive.

Tartar's army withdrew so easily.

W just occupied an empty barrack.

And on April 12 and 19, our army was defeated twice by the Onon river.

We were in deadlock for four months.

Our army made no advancement.

Alutai sabotaged our supply lines completely.

We have no supply.

Our soldiers are disabled and... -You are not the emperor.

Now you are asking people to be responsible for the defeat.

We are not defeated.

So arrogant.

It's my fifth time to lead the army outside the Great Wall.

It's difficult this time.

Because these tribes know this is the duel.

So they are united.

Great.

I don't want to deal with them one by one.

It will waste my time.

Now the problem is the weather.

Not the false strategy.

But you told the army to retreat.

What are you planning?

Grandfather.

Your Majesty.

Who is your grandfather here?

You should lead them in Three Gorges.

I will behead you if you lose.

Go.

As your command.

Alutai promised last month.

That he would block Ming's supply line.

But he still didn't make it till today.

Send someone to ask him.

Alutai's messenger came.

He said Ming's cavalry was looking for them everywhere.

Alutai is outnumbered.

Alutai is doomed if it goes on like this.

So be it.

The messenger is still here?

Yes.

Esen.

Go.

Kill them.

Yes.

What are you looking at?

Everyone, have some tea.

Mahamud.

You, bastard.

Yes...

How can you kill Alutai's messenger?

How can you kill Alutai's messenger?

How dare you! -Yeah.

How dare you! -Yeah.

You are not our leader yet.

Yes...

That's right.

Why?

This is not the time of the golden family.

So many tribes on this grassland.

We made the blood oath to safeguard here.

Now...

They didn't do their best.

So is there anything wrong that I kill them?

If I don't try my best, you should kill me too.

We choose you because of your military strategy.

But you can't kill anyone as you like.

Yes...

Why do you kill them?

Why? -Yeah.

Why? -Yeah.

If it goes on like this, the corpses will be piled up.

Then you can go to surrender.

Go.

Go.

Go.

If I am right, the battle of the Three Gorges will be very tough.

Ming's Army will definitely go all out.

We need to safeguard the Three Gorges.

We need to win this time.

You always say that we don't know anything, right?

My cavalry will be the pioneers in Three Gorges.

You should stop the middle road.

The main force should lurk around Ming's army.

As long as we exhaust their morale, they will be devastated.

They claim to have 600,000 soldiers.

It's only 300,000.

This fight matters.

Grandfather.

You should go to sleep for a while.

You need to take care of yourself.

You don't need to fight with us in Three Gorges.

I will give you 10,000 main forces to you.

What if we lose?

Across Onon river, go westward.

Ming's army won't chase after you if it snows.

Please save the blood for Oirat.

Grandfather.

Will we lose?

You should ask.

Will we win?

Win? We can't even if all of us die.

He says he wants fifty years of peace.

We also want this.

But we will have no peace if we don't fight hard with them.

Esen.

Don't go to the battlefield.

Save the blood for us.

As I know, you quarreled with the emperor.

I think you are right.

You can't spearhead the attack. You will die.

You need to convince the emperor to withdraw the army.

Three Gorges is the place that Mahamud prepared for you.

We can't attack by force.

We need to know withdraw.

The emperor is angry now.

He is led by the nose.

He doesn't listen to anyone.

Maybe he doesn't know withdrawal is the best option until I die in Three Gorges.

Get out of my way.

Let's go.

Don't go.

Don't go.

He will defend Three Gorges till the end.

Mahamud has learned the strategy from us.

He will defend Three Gorges till the end.

You need to convince him.

Convince him.

Ministry of Defense prepares the winter clothes for the army.

Winter clothes?

So they really need to put on winter clothes?

They sent four memorials in a row.

You need to check these as soon as possible.

I know.

No need.

What a problem!

If we send the winter clothes,

according to the emperor's temper, we need to fight till next summer.

We can't cover the expense.

Then if this is not a good time, they should withdraw earlier.

You can just say it.

So we don't need to care about what the emperor will think.

So we don't need to care about what the emperor will think.

Not a good time?

So we don't need to care about what the emperor will think.

What do you mean?

How do you know?

Crown prince.

I write the memorial for you.

And in this month.

All the cold medicine and medicine for traumatic injuries.

There are hundreds of wagons, at least.

There are hundreds of wagons, at least.

If the battle goes well...

Shut up.

I am in poor health.

I don't want to beg others.

So I ask you to write to me.

Remember.

You need to forget all this after you leave here.

Otherwise you will cause trouble.

Remember.

Don't tell this to others.

And don't ask around.

Yes.

Your uncles' wives are so ridiculous.

They try to ask me a lot of questions.

If it's Hu Shanxiang, she could help me.

But Miss Sun says nothing.

I need to tolerate it alone.

I think I should leave here.

No, we are family.

Come...

Sit down.

Sit down.

Say it.

What do you want?

They want to know what's going on on the frontline.

And the ministry of defense and cabinet go to crown prince's residence.

It's a small court.

Nonsense.

I teach them rules.

But I am so sick of doing it.

I taught you.

Just tell them.

If they want to know the national military intelligence, just ask.

Tell them to ask me directly.

Who will come?

So ridiculous.

If they come again next time, they will.

All they want to know is your health.

It's hard to keep secret in imperial hospital.

These are the general memorials before they send the provisions.

This is general's promotion for the archive.

The detailed official ranks in there.

I find they were prince Han's subordinates.

I think they know the provisions' record and the situation on the frontline.

They try to sound out your health.

You are right.

Yang Shiqi is afraid that people know about my illness.

Brothers will show their ambitions if I am sick in bed.

Now is the critical time for the battle.

If you tell this to others, the world will be in chaos.

I have warned you.

I need to check your medicine.

The doctor said, you need more rest.

If you are sick in bed, I don't care whether the country is chaotic,

you will cause son and me such trouble.

You need to listen to the doctor for us.

If it's not for you, why do I push myself so hard?

Son fights on the frontline.

I am the regent here.

We need to cooperate well.

We can't be careful enough.

Now our elites are outside the Pass.

So everything matters.

Now you know the secret, and you will be scared.

OK, I know what I am doing.

Don't ask again.

We have so many copyists. Why don't you use them?

Do you know which one works for my second brother?

Son's concubines imitate my handwriting so well.

And she keeps her mouth shut.

After all, we are family.

Ready.

Fire.

Kill.

Kill.

Kill.

Kill.

Your Majesty.

We should tell the pioneerd to retreat.

If we fight on like this, it will be so costly.

Afraid of death?

Imperial grandson is one of the vanguards.

Family Zhu would rather die than escape from the battlefield.
