Braveness of the Ming

Episode 26

Xia Xun!

Protect Prince Yan!

Xu Huizu!

Report!

Prince Yan's army has fallen into an ambush.
Duke Wei has won a great victory.

Excellent!

Heavens are truly on my side!

Report any movements
from the front line to me immediately.

Especially after Prince Yan is captured.

Yes.

Your Highness.

Let's rest for a while.

Alright.

Take a short break. Rest where you are.

Careful.

Here, easy now.

Xia Xun, your wound is still bleeding.

Can you hold on?

Don't worry, Your Highness.

I was born with a tough life.

I won't die.

It was my lack of foresight.

I underestimated the enemy.

They used gunpowder
for an ambush and surprise attack.

I was wondering
how Li Jinglong suddenly became so clever.

Turns out it was
all my brother-in-law's brilliant idea.

So the deputy general sent from the palace

is Duke Wei.

We're here. We've finally made it.

It's His Highness! His Highness has returned!

Your Highness!

We're here.

Your Highness.

We have returned safely.

We're back.

Xia Xun!

Quick! Call the surgeon!

- Surgeon!
- Fetch the doctor, quickly!

Order the rear troops to advance with haste.

They must arrive before tomorrow morning.

At dawn,

I will have a decisive battle with Li Jiujiang!

Yes.

Report to Your Highness.
Xia Xun has regained consciousness.

Is that so?

Then let him rest well.

I will go see him shortly.

But as soon as he woke up,
he asked for paper and a writing brush.

What does he need paper and a brush for?

He said he needs to write a letter urgently

to Ximen Jing and Ji Gang,
who are infiltrating the Ming army.

To have them closely
monitor Xu Huizu's every move.

They are Your Highness's own people,

and know Your Highness very well.

Your Highness must be on guard.

Then tell him

to stop thinking about these things for now.

The letter can be written later.

These past few days, to protect me,

he was injured and overworked.

He must have a good rest first.

Yes.

Your Highness, the situation is hopeless.

Please evacuate quickly and plan for the future.

Shimei,

all of my family's assets are here.

If we lose this battle,

only the old, weak, and disabled soldiers
in Beiping will remain.

What good will that do?

Kill!

Li Jinglong is dead!

Duke Cao has fallen in battle!

What? Li Jinglong is dead?

Brothers, stop fighting!
Retreat! Get out of here!

Could it be an ambush?

Relay my orders! Withdraw the troops immediately!

Who said I'm dead? Don't run!

Hold the line!

No one is allowed to run!

Xia!

- See Your Highness.
- See Your Highness.

You've worked hard.

Both of you are talented generals!

In this battle, you have achieved
the greatest merit.

Tell me.

What rewards do you want?

I will grant you everything.

Really? I want that...

Serving Your Highness is our fortune.

How could we ask for rewards?

Good.

Attendants, bring tea.

Have a seat.

Xia Xun, in Baihegou battle,

you defended me with your life,

and your contribution is undeniable.

Unfortunately,

this war is far from over.

Indeed.

Li Jinglong didn't die in the battle.

He's now fleeing.

We should pursue the victory and capture him.

Li Jinglong led those remnants and stragglers

to flee towards Jinan, right?

Your Highness,

I'm willing to go to Jinan

to capture Li Jinglong.

How's your injury? Are you better now?

It's just superficial, nothing serious.

Good.

Then I order you to set off immediately

to capture Li Jinglong.

Xia Xun accepts the order.

Xia Xun, you big liar!

Xia Xun!

Miss Xie.

Ji, where did Xia Xun go?

He followed Prince Yan's order,

and went to Jinan to capture Li Jinglong.

What did you say? He left so quickly?

Miss Xie.

Weren't you and Miss Peng
at Flying Dragon Secret Agents?

Why have you come alone?

Ximen Jing went to find Peng.

He said that

Xia Xun would leave Dezhou.

Xia is indeed leaving in a bit of a hurry,

but capturing Li Jinglong
is a matter of great importance.

We cannot miss the opportunity.

That liar!

He told me that once he won the battle,

he would come back to find me immediately.

Miss Xie, please don't be angry.

Ji,

you know Xia Xun's route, right?

Do you want...

Ji, take me to find him.

The front lines are in chaos,
and soldiers are everywhere.

This is no joking matter.

Ji, please take me there.

I know your martial arts are superb.

We won't be in danger.

Please take me to find him, okay?

Alright.

But when we go to find Xia,

we must go and return quickly,
avoiding unnecessary complications.

Absolutely no problem.

Thank you, Ji.

Come on, let's deal with a pinky promise.

No one could regret after a pinky promise.

Whoever breaks the promise is a little dog.

Alright.

Young man, what happened ahead?

Why do you look panicked?

Sir, it's terrible!

Yan's army has attacked Dezhou!
Dezhou couldn't hold!

Duke Cao is leading
his troops in a fighting retreat.

They're withdrawing this way.

Hurry and escape!

If you're late, you'll be captured by Yan's army!

Turn the carts around!

Have all the military provisions escorted
back to Jinan Prefecture.

Lord Tie,

we haven't received
any military orders from Duke Cao.

If we just return like this,
we'll be held accountable.

Why not continue forward?

Wait until we meet up with the imperial troops,

then retreat wouldn't be too late.

Nonsense!

By that time, the people could escape,

but what about these provisions?

Are we supposed to supply them all to Yan's army?

Dezhou isn't at the point of having no food yet.

Listen to my command. Turn the carts around

and return to Jinan.

If anything goes wrong,

I will take responsibility.

Yes!

Pass on Lord Tie Xuan's order.
Turn around immediately!

[Chief Secretary Office]

Lord Tie.

Weren't you escorting provisions to Dezhou?

How did you return so quickly?

Marshal Sheng, a great disaster has occurred!

Duke Cao suffered a major defeat,
and Dezhou has fallen.

The defeated troops are rushing towards Jinan.

Yan's army is in hot pursuit.

We must quickly gather our men
and deploy city defenses.

What? This...

[Jinan]

Miss Xie, with so many people here,
it's not safe.

Are you sure you want to enter the city?

I'm sure. I must find Xia Xun.

Alright, I'll accompany you.

Quickly mobilize the troops and clear the streets.

Greetings, my lord.

So many people have suddenly flooded into the city.

Our manpower is simply insufficient.

Yan's army is coming! Yan's army is chasing them!

Yan's army is here!

Order the city gates sealed.
No more people can be let in.

Marshal, the city gates simply cannot be closed!

At this point,

there's only one way. Loose arrows!

Loose arrows!

Ji!

Are you alright?

Ji, I'm going in first.

Xie, go to find Xia.

Be careful. Take care.

Why hasn't Wu Datou returned yet?

He went to the city's wine shop
to gather information.

I know.

Aren't we waiting for his wine?

Your archery skills are simply divine!

One arrow pierced eyes of both these pheasants.

It's truly miraculous!

- Yes, miraculous indeed!
- Yes!

This archery skill

isn't just for killing people.

You must practice more in the future.

Sir, you may not know, but in our line of work,

we're out day and night.

Whenever we have a spare moment,

we all want to go home
and spend time with our wives and children.

Lord Xia,

you are young and talented.

Surely there are many young ladies
who admire you?

When it comes to someone you truly love,

you don't need many.

Just one is enough.

Sir,

what kind of lady do you like?

Naturally, she is divinely beautiful,

and as beautiful as a goddess.

My lord!

My lord!

My lord!

My lord, look who's here!

Divinely beautiful and as beautiful as a goddess.

Do you really hate me that much?

From last night, you've been
wearing a stern face the whole time.

If you...

If you really hate me so much,

I'll just leave right now. Really.

I'm leaving.

You jerk!

I almost got shot to death
by stray arrows looking for you.

And you're still giving me attitude, aren't you?

Because it's dangerous, I'm angry!

What if something happened to you?

What would I do alone?

Xia Xun.

Xia Xun, remember

I will never be the kind of woman

who waits obediently at home for you to return.

I am...

I am the kind of woman who,
no matter where you go,

I will come looking for you.

Let's go.

I say, shopkeeper,

is this how you do business?

Why don't you just rob people?

Xu Laosan,

haven't you seen my steamed buns

are simply not enough to sell?

Besides, there are more people eating buns now.

I have no choice.

Also, you're a city person,

you have pots and steamers at home.

If you want to eat but think it's too expensive,

why not go back and make them yourself?

I say, Yan's army is besieging the city,

and it's even gotten you, a bun seller, all worked up.

I just wanted to save some trouble.

Fine, I won't buy.

I'll go home and steam them myself.

If you won't buy, then forget it. Get lost!

Buns.

With Yan's army besieging the city,

I'm afraid the city gates won't open for a while.

It's only been a few hours,
and the buns have already gone up in price.

It seems I must prepare early.

Xie.

One bun costs two wen.

I give you one tael of silver.

How many buns can you buy?

If someone else went to buy,

they could probably buy about 500 buns.

If I went,

I could buy at least 800 buns.

I can buy 1000 buns.

Impossible.

First, I would buy 100 jin of flour.

I give him the remaining money
and the 100 jin of flour,

and ask him to make me 1000 buns.

Do you think he'd be willing?

Like this.

Using the same method,

I give you 10 taels of silver.

Hoard as much food as possible.

I'm afraid in this city...

A famine is about to break out soon.

No problem, leave it to me.

Don't worry.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Let's go ahead.

Fortunately, Lord Tie

transported those hundreds of carts of grain

back from Dezhou.

The government granary is now slightly fuller.

However, if Prince Yan refuses to retreat

and instead lays siege to attack the city,

this grain can only last for 10 days at most.

10 days.

Since Prince Yan started his rebellion,

he has rarely engaged in siege warfare.

When he attacked Datong,
he also withdrew after a brief engagement.

In my view,

he might attack Jinan,

but if he fails to capture it
after several attempts,

he may not necessarily persist
in a prolonged stalemate.

Furthermore,

the court will surely
send troops to lift the siege.

Lord Sheng,

why boost the enemy's morale and diminish our own?

To defend one city is to safeguard the empire.

With troops dwindling day by day,

we fight against an enemy force
multiplying into millions,

shielding Jianghuai region
and stemming the tide of invasion.

If the empire survived its peril,
to whom does it owe its salvation?

To die with the city, repaying our country.

You're right.

Regardless of whether the enemy
is strong or weak,

we should defend Jinan to the death
to repay our country.

Good!

With your words,

our civil and military officials in Jinan
are united in purpose and virtue.

I reckon the rebel army will find it
extremely difficult to gain any advantage.

I...

am willing to make a blood oath with you.

The city stands as long as we live,

and falls if we die.

Good!

[Grains Grocery]

Alright.

Take care.

Shopkeeper, could you please take a look

at how much grain
this piece of jade can be exchanged for?

Exchange for as much as possible.

Miss, judging by the quality of your jade,

you could directly buy this entire shop.

I don't want your shop. I want grain.

Alright, I'll go pack rice for you.

I say, Miss.

Yan's army is currently
just outside the city gates.

Once the battle is over, they will surely leave.

Hoarding so much grain like this,

isn't it a bit like worrying unnecessarily?

Just one bag?

These are all the remaining grain reserves.

The delivery workers are trapped
outside the city and can't get in.

It's not just my shop.

Other grain and rice stores

have even less stock than I do.

Thank you.

Take care.

Now,

how much grain remains in the official granaries?

We have enough grain
to feed our troops for three months.

But

this is calculated based on the current ration

of one meal per day.

We lack soldiers and supplies.

External forces still haven't been able to

launch attacks substantial enough
to threaten Yan's army.

We also don't know how long
Yan's army intends to besiege the city.

What suggestions do you two have?

Sir,

garrison troops on the walls
are no longer sufficient to defend the city.

Now,

we must recruit able-bodied men from the city,
even women and children,

to go up the walls and resist the enemy.

Defending a city is different from
marching and fighting.

As long as they have some strength,

capable of moving logs and stones
for rolling, that's enough.

If they can't move logs and stones,

they can at least pour boiling water
or molten metal.

However,

to recruit able-bodied men,

we must provide them with food.

Our current grain reserves...

Shopkeeper,

please give me some rice.

I'll give you all my belongings.

I have several children.

We are all starving to death.

I've sold out all my rice here.

There's no more rice to sell you.

Please leave.

You can go over there.

There's a Living Bodhisattva girl over there.

She distributes rice and porridge every day.

All of us here rely on her charity.

Go quickly.

Where is she?

Right over there.

Thank you, shopkeeper.

These past days, I've persisted
in patrolling the city.

I've discovered
more and more people are starving to death.

The government's relief grain distribution,

and the patrol and cleaning teams
formed by the commoners,

have all been stopped.

Now, the city is filled with corpses
and a foul stench.

People are so hungry they can barely walk,

so how can they have the strength
to work for you?

Sir,

if things continue like this...

The only outcome would be

the entire city collapsing

and mutual destruction.

Therefore,

I have come up with a last-resort plan.

- Lord Tie, please speak.
- Go ahead.

To defend the city, the only way

is to gather all the food from
the military and civilians

and distribute it uniformly,
prioritizing the soldiers.

Is there any difference from the current?

Yeah, there is.

All the wealthy gentry
and large households in the city

have hidden a lot of food.

As long as we collect it all for military use,

then Lord Gao,

you can recruit strong men to defend the city.

In that case,

what about the common people
who cannot defend the city?

Those who cannot hand over food
and are unwilling to go up the city walls

should all be driven out of the city.

Keeping them in the army

means competing with the military for food.

I'm afraid Prince Yan
will not comply with my wishes.

Once we release the common people from the city,

Prince Yan will understand our intentions.

If he refuses to let them go,
what should we do then?

We're supposed to bear
the responsibility of defending Jinan,

yet instead, we would cause the elders of Jinan

to die under the city walls.

Here you are.

- Thank you, sister.
- You're welcome.

Here, take it carefully.

- Thank you.
- Yours.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

At this time tomorrow,

I'll still be here
distributing porridge to everyone.

Thank you.

Thank you, miss.

Miss, I still have several children at home.

Could you give me a little more?

- Miss Xie.
- Here.

This is your only remaining ration for today.

If you give it to them, what will you eat?

I can drink porridge.

No.

You've given away your dry rations yesterday.

The day before yesterday too.

And you've already been
drinking plain porridge for several days.

You work so hard here
distributing porridge every day.

If this continues, your health will collapse.

Yes.

I'm fine.

Miss,

I heard the rice shop clerk over there

calling you the Living Bodhisattva girl.

You truly are a Living Bodhisattva
descended to earth.

Yes.

- Saving from suffering and hardship!
- Everyone.

What Living Bodhisattva?
I just think I'm too fat.

Drinking porridge for a few days
to slim down a bit looks better.

Thank you, Miss.

I'm afraid Lord Xia just thinks
you're not plump enough.

What did you say?

Nothing.

Here you are.

Bring them back for the children to eat.

Thank you.

No matter how miserable,

can it be worse than Zhang Xun in Suiyang?

General Zhang Xun, to defend the city,

even killed his own beloved concubine.

The elderly, weak, and commoners
in the city were all killed

to serve as military rations.

Did he want to do this?

Wasn't it to protect Suiyang

and preserve the nation's foundation?

Jinan connects the north and south.

Once Prince Yan captures it,

it will inevitably boost his momentum.

Thus, Prince Yan

gains a major asset to oppose the court.

Therefore,

no matter the cost,

we cannot let Jinan fall.

Sacrifice a small portion of people

to protect the majority.

Destroy one city of Jinan

to preserve His Majesty's nation and foundation.

This is worthwhile.

Exiling these commoners

also gives them a chance at survival.

What we must do now is
to compete with Prince Yan.

Compete? Compete in what?

Who is more ruthless.

There's one more thing.

A few days ago,
Prince Yan attacked the south gate

and nearly breached it.

Fortunately, I was inspecting
that area at the time.

Otherwise,

Jinan would have been captured by now.

Later, I went back
and thought it over carefully.

The more I thought, the more something felt off.

How did Prince Yan know
the south gate's defenses were weak?

You mean...

There are spies for Prince Yan in Jinan.

What should we do?

We must definitely catch the spies.

Exactly so.

I've already had a plan.

Your Highness, a gate in Jinan has opened.

What's going on?

They released a group of refugees.

All are elderly, weak, sick, or disabled,

people starved to be skin and bones.

Pass on my order.

Light fires, cook food, and comfort the people.

Yes!

Thank you!

Everyone.

May I ask...

Have you seen a young lady in the city?

About this tall, wearing plain cotton clothes.

No.

Add a bit more for me.

Thank you.

Your Highness.

Another batch of refugees
was just released from the city.

What exactly is Tie Xuan up to?

What is he really scheming?

Your Highness.

Our military camp used to
transport provisions every 10 days.

Now,

we have to transport them every five days.

I understand.

Now I see.

Tie Xuan is depleting our supplies.

He hopes we will run out of
provisions and ammunition.

Issue the order.

From now on,

do not allow a single refugee into the camp.

Yes.

Reporting, my lord.

Jinan has been besieged for two months.

According to scouts' reports,

the city is already filled with starving corpses.

Countless dead and injured there.
A pitiful sight.

It is confirmed that
Xia Xun has been trapped in the city?

Absolutely no mistake.

Several of our spies

followed him all the way
to the gate of Jinan City

and witnessed him
entering the city with the crowd.

Judging by this situation,

Xia Xun should already be dead in Jinan.

Even if not dead, he must be on his last breath,

and unable to cause any major trouble.

Withdraw our people from there

and concentrate on guarding Jinling.

Yes.

Now the entire city is suffering from famine.

Even tree bark has been stripped clean by people.

Let's all eat some of this for now.

Sir.

Sir.

I have gathered information.

Li Jinglong is recuperating in a hidden

small courtyard in the city,

and his injuries have almost fully recovered.

When we first entered the city,

the population was mixed and chaotic,

yet we couldn't find any trace of Li Jinglong.

But now, with the famine in the city,

every household keeps its doors tightly shut.

Suddenly, news of Li Jinglong emerges,

and it's so specific.

So do you

suspect there is a trick in this?

Sir.

Today, the porridge wasn't enough to distribute.

The starving people rushed forward in a frenzy

and smashed the porridge shop.

Miss Xie was both angry and anxious.

Having not eaten a single grain all day,

she fainted on the spot.

This can't go on.

I can't let everyone
starve to death here with me.

I don't know if Li Jinglong's news is reliable.

I'll go scout it out first.

You all stay here and wait for me.

Be ready to support me at any time.

Also,

help me take good care of Miss Xie.

Yes.

Come.

Seize him!

Yes.

Lord Xia is awake.

This strong liquor mixed with salt water
is really effective.

People from Southern Garrison of Imperial Guards

spend all day thinking up these torturous things.

Now it's being used on yourself.

How does it feel?

What do you want to say?

Lord Tie.

How does the salt water, mixed with my saliva,

feel to you?

Xia Xun, you!

Fine!

You've got guts!

Guards!

Here!

Continue the torture for me.

Yes!

Reporting, my lord,

Xia Xun couldn't withstand the torture
and has fainted again.

Did he confess?

No, he wouldn't say a single word.

Dismissed.

Yes.

Is this man made of iron?

He's endured such severe torture,

yet he refuses to utter a single word.

Xia Xun comes from Imperial Guards.

What kind of cruel torture hasn't he seen?

I'm afraid even if we flay him alive,

we still wouldn't be able to extract

a single useful word from his mouth.

Then we might as well kill him

and hang his corpse on the city gate

to intimidate Prince Yan.

That's for later.

I still need to use him to put on a show.

Guards!

Here!

Go to post notices all over the city.

Tell all the people in the city

that Xia Xun will be publicly
executed at noon tomorrow.

Yes.

You're brilliant.

It's been almost 20 days.

Xia. Miss Xie.

You must hold on no matter what.

Miss Xie!

- Miss Xie, please wait.
- Miss Xie.

Before Lord Xia left, he instructed us

to take good care of you.

He also said

he would go ahead to investigate

and you should provide support from outside.

He is now missing without a trace

Why are you all still here?

Wu Datou and the others
have already taken people there

and haven't returned yet.

I'm afraid the situation is grim...

We two are responsible for protecting you.

We absolutely cannot let anything happen to you.

Alright

Since you are responsible for protecting me

then you all come with me to rescue Xia Xun

No, that's too dangerous

Miss Xie, you absolutely cannot go

Yes, let me go alone.

If I haven't returned by this time tomorrow,

then I won't be coming back.

You must not go to your deaths.

Fine.

What's fine about it?

Now there are only a few of us left.

We can't afford to lose even one more person.

How about this?

Let's all go together to find Xia Xun.

Rather than staying here worrying,

we should set out now to find Xia Xun

and confirm whether he is alive or dead.

Yes.

Give me something to eat! I'm starving!

There's food!

What are you doing?

Get away!

- Give me some!
- Move aside!

Don't grab!

Stop fighting, all of you! Stop it right now!

Can't you see his child is over there?

They are about to starve to death

Go away!

- My child hasn't eaten for days.
- Get lost!

Miss Xie.

Miss Xie.

[Notice: the leader of the rebel spy
will be executed tomorrow.]

Xia Xun...

will be executed tomorrow.

Enjoy your last meal.

You were also from Imperial Guards.

You can refuse to share hardships

but you don't have to steal my food
every time, do you?

Beat him up!

Stop it.

Lord Xia.

You Imperial Guards really have deep camaraderie.

Lord Tie.

Here to beg for my saliva again?

Let's see how long
you can keep up that tough talk.

Guards!

Yes.

Don't move!

What are you doing?

Behave!

Tie Xuan.

What exactly do you want?

Lord Xia looks so nervous.

You must have guessed it.

Since you've guessed it,

why bother asking?

Better save your saliva.

Xia Xun, remember

I will never be the kind of woman

who waits obediently at home for you to return.

I am...

I am the kind

who will go to find you

no matter where you go.

Xie...

Ziqi.

- Ziqi!
- Ji Gang!

I ask you

what was the intelligence
Flying Dragon Secret Agents delivered today?

You've already known it.

Tie Xuan is going to execute Xia Xun.

You actually dared to hide this from me!

If I hadn't forced Ximen Jing to tell me,

how long did you plan to keep me in the dark?

It was Prince Yan's order.
He's afraid you would worry.

That makes me worry even more.

Ziqi, let Ji finish speaking first.

What else is there to say?

Xia Xun and Xie are together in the city.

If Xia Xun is executed,

Xie is definitely in danger too.

Prince Yan is trying to think of a way.

Try to?

What time is it now? Still trying to think?

If you won't go...

Fine.

I'll go!

I don't believe Peng Ziqi

can't even get into a small city like Jinan!

Ziqi, calm down first.

Even if you want to enter the city,
you need to plan carefully.

If you're afraid of dying, then don't follow.

Fine.

I am afraid of dying,
but I'm even more afraid of you dying!

Acting recklessly like this,

not only will you fail to save Xie and Xia Xun,

but you'll even lose your own life to the enemy.

How is that any different
from throwing your life away?

Then we'll think on the way,
and enter the city after we've figured it out.

Wait!

I can't watch you two go to your deaths.

You shut up!

Miss Peng,

if you act like this, I won't be polite.

Fine.

I'd like to see how you plan to be impolite.

Here's Prince Yan's camp.

Everything must follow Prince Yan's arrangements.

I won't allow you to act recklessly here.

Guards!

Yes.

Keep these two under close watch.

If they take even half a step out of the tent,

deal with them according to military law.

Yes!

Ji Gang!

her gaze begins to roam ♫

♫ Sorrow under moonlight, endless are the nights ♫

♫ Dreaming of moments lost from sight ♫

♫ A rising sandstorm veils your face from view ♫

♫ Now worlds apart, with no path back to you ♫

♫ Love and hate, awake then gone like sand ♫

♫ We meet, forget, through lifetimes' shifting strand ♫

♫ Right or wrong, the song ends, but feelings stay ♫

♫ Two worlds apart, too far to see the way ♫

♫ Who knows her silent love, who knows her tears? ♫

♫ Who knows her heart, and whom it truly fears? ♫

♫ Who knows her tender thoughts,
her hidden grief? ♫

♫ A beauty's fleeting dream
for whom does life seem brief? ♫

♫ I'd give my all, through all the joy and pain,
and never complain ♫
