Rule The World
Episode 04
Go back and prepare.
Set out at 5 a.m. tomorrow!
Yes!
Second prince, you're versed in military theories and strategies.
And you're very wise and brave. Your talent will be fully expressed through leading the army this time.
Let me, Eqike, congratulate you here in advance.
I'm flattered, third uncle.
It's my first time to lead the army.
I don't wish for any feat. Only hope I'll make no mistakes.
If I do anything inappropriate in the battlefield,
please let me know, uncle.
Will do!
Among my nephews,
you're the one I appreciate the most!
My brother is also versed in military theories and strategies.
I should learn more from him.
Uncle, there are many things to prepare
before we set out tomorrow.
If there's nothing else,
I shall leave first.
I'll learn more from you some other day.
Okay.
Bye.
Brother, bye.
Eldest prince, let it go.
Although staying in Hetuala won't bring military merits,
in fact it's more important than leading the army and fighting the war.
Making you shoulder this responsibility means beile still thinks highly of you.
I'm always the one to lead the army and fight the war.
Since when Daisan has the right?
In the past, he always played it safe before every war.
But why he volunteers to lead the army this time?
He just wants to project himself before Dongge!
Listen.
Dongge is mine!
She belongs to me, Cuyen!
Eldest prince.
A saying goes like this.
Out of the mouth comes disaster.
I advise you to be more careful when you speak and act.
Stop playing double before me!
Didn't you congratulate Daisan just now?
Out of the mouth comes disaster?
Let it be!
I'm not afraid of that!
Akdun!
Yes, my lord.
Hong Taiji still kneels outside?
Yes, my lord.
Still on his knees.
Tell him to come in.
Yes, my lord.
Greetings, father.
Father.
I heard that you declared a war in the Official Business Hall.
I want...
Don't say anything.
I know what you want.
You just want to fight with the army.
Please allow me, father!
No.
You have no experience in any major war.
This war matters a lot.
Tolerates no mistakes.
Father.
Sister Dongge returned to Yehe to fulfill my mom's wish.
Then got cornered by Buyanggu and kidnapped by Menggebulu.
To boil it down, all the things happened because of my mom.
Now my mom is beyond recovery.
She makes me promise to save Dongge.
I must deliver it.
But I know I'm inexperienced and not capable.
I don't aspire to lead the army.
Only wish that father you can let me put on the armor
and be an ordinary soldier in the army.
Just make some humble contributions to save Dongge.
Please allow me, father!
Fine.
You can serve under your second brother Daisan as a staff captain.
Thank you, father.
Greetings, father.
Daisan?
Father.
There are some materials I sorted out according to our spies' intelligence.
And a map roughed out according to the layout inside and outside Hada city.
Please take a look.
You're always thoughtful.
Very good.
You haven't fought for long. Can you get used to it?
Thank you for your concern, father.
I've got used to it.
Your elder brother Cuyen is good at fighting.
You're born from the same mother.
You should learn more from him.
I got it, father.
Daisan.
Do you think our army marches too slowly to save Dongge?
Father.
I dare not.
Many things must be considered when the main force marches.
To save Dongge is indeed important.
But that doesn't mean we have to make our fighting plan be influenced
or disrupt our original tempo.
Go back first.
Have an early rest.
We still have to march on tomorrow.
Yes, father.
My lord.
Your snacks.
We didn't patrol well.
So this assassin walked in your camp.
Please punish us, my lord.
Forget it.
It's not all your fault.
This assassin's identity?
According to his accessories,
he should be one of the Hada clan.
Let them be rampant for a few more days.
We'll tighten up our patrol.
This won't happen again.
Rest easy, my lord.
You may leave.
Drag him out.
Yes!
Kill!
You're really trying to escape?
Dongge, I treat you well. Why did you lie to me?
Let me go!
Let go of her ladyship!
Let me go! Let go!
-My lady! -Let me go!
Gedai!
How dare you lie to me!
Let me go!
I'll make you suffer!
Make you suffer!
Stop!
Let me go!
Let me go! Go away!
Go away!
How dare you kick me!
Let me go! Let me go!
Bitch.
My lord! My lord!
Bad news, my lord!
Don't you see I'm busy?!
Get lost!
Nurhachi broke into our city with the archer army!
He broke in!
Get lost!
Dongge!
Brother, don't mind me! Go save Dongge!
Be careful! I'll be back soon!
Dongge.
Daisan?
You're finally awake.
Dongge.
Don't worry.
We're in a carriage now.
I'll take you back to our headquarters.
Don't be afraid.
Dongge.
Sorry.
You've suffered.
Sorry?
Yes. Sorry.
Three months.
I've waited for you for three months.
During the three months,
Menggebulu watched me like a hungry wolf every day.
I've been counting days, expecting...
Thinking and hoping.
Why did you still not come here to save me?
In the end, I gave up, in despair.
Since you ignored me over the past three months,
why did you still come to save me?
Why didn't you let me die out there?
Why didn't you duck?
You fool!
Dongge, do you remember that?
When we were kids,
we rode together in the grassland.
You rode far more slowly than me and Cuyen.
Then you suddenly went mad.
Bit your own finger.
Do you know how bad I felt back then?
I wished what you bit was me, you know?
If we could go back to our childhood,
how good it'll be!
Dongge.
You told me before you left for Yehe.
When you come back,
you'll give me a reply no matter what.
I don't care what you're thinking about now.
Today.
I must give it to you.
Dongge.
It represents my promise to you.
I swear.
Some day,
I'll let you live a carefree life like you did in childhood.
I'll stay by your side.
Protect you.
I'll never let you suffer any bumpy life.
Will you say yes?
Yes.
Don't worry.
The day that belongs to us...
Will come.
Daisan...
Second prince.
News comes from the front line.
Resistance in the Hada city has been controlled by beile.
Got it.
Yes.
Beile fought in person?
Why he...
How did you get hurt?
You got hurt...
How did you get hurt so badly?
And I treated you like that.
Sorry.
It's okay.
I should be the one saying sorry.
How could I let you apologize to me?
Does it hurt?
Does it hurt very much?
No.
Seeing you feel so sad for me.
Even if I'm gonna die,
it's worth it.
I... I don't allow you to say that.
I don't want you to die.
Dongge.
I don't want you to die.
Dongge!
Hong Taiji?
Hong Taiji also came?
Father didn't let him come in the first place.
He knelt outside prime consort's door for a whole night.
Then he came.
Dongge.
Hong Taiji.
Are you alright?
Did you get hurt?
Sorry.
We came late.
You've suffered in Hada.
I thought...
You wouldn't come.
Of course I would.
I wouldn't leave you alone in Hada.
Even if father didn't fight the war,
I would find some way to save you out.
Let me take you to see someone.
Let's go.
Eighth prince.
Gedai.
Lie down.
How is she now?
When I found her in Menggebulu's place,
she was dying.
I thought you wouldn't let her die there.
So I brought her back here.
The doctor checked upon her just now.
Although she's badly hurt,
she's curable.
But it takes time to get recovered.
Someone must take good care of her.
I will. Someone must take good care of her.
I will.
She got hurt so badly because of me.
She is unlucky since she's my maid.
If she met a good master,
she wouldn't end up like this.
Nonsense.
You're the best master I've ever seen.
Being your maid is her bliss.
Look, so many concubines and princesses in the mansion,
which one of them can treat servants so sincerely like you do?
Other people say behind your back that you're a stupid woman.
Nonsense.
Apart from you, which one dare call me that?
Did you rest well last night?
I, Dongge, bow before beile.
Thank you for your concern, my lord.
I rest very well last night.
Bring him in.
Yes, my lord.
Nurhachi!
Nurhachi, you bastard!
You'll die in your boots!
Kneel!
Dongge.
You're a bitch.
Bitch!
Hurhan!
Impudent!
You cheated me.
You cheated me!
You'll rot in hell!
Vultures will come eat your eyes!
Wolves will eat up your flesh!
Both you and Nurhachi will die miserably!
Hurhan. Bitch!
You flippant bastard!
Talking nonsense!
My lord.
Insulting a loser in such a cruel way.
Really damages your leadership as a general.
Dongge...
Bitch.
Fine.
Princess Dongge's request will be granted.
Drag Menggebulu out and behead him.
Get up!
You son of bitch. You both will be struck by lightning and split into two halves!
Although Menggebulu is useless in the battlefield,
he's quite backboned before death.
What did he say?
Me and Dongge will be punished by gods?
Struck by lightning and split into two halves?
Father, you're wise, brave and invincible.
Why have to care your defeated opponent's words?
Of course I can ignore that.
But do soldiers and people in Hada care about that?
Do our officials and people in Jianzhou care about that?
Where are Menggebulu's offspring?
Bring them in.
Yes, my lord!
Come in!
Father!
Don't die, father!
Ulhuda.
You have heard your father's yelling, right?
Your father is really unfortunate.
Why does he only have one son?
Spare me, governor! Spare me, governor! Spare me, governor! Spare me, governor!
Princess Dongge.
How dare you call princess Buyiyamaha's name?
Father. Where are Menggebulu and his offspring's wives and daughters?
Father.
Thirty-one wives in total.
All tied up outside the tent.
Father.
Ulhuda and other men will be killed right now.
Father.
My lord.
You've killed his father.
Please let go of the rest of his family.
They're all innocent.
My lord.
You've already owned the entire Hada city.
Why do you have to kill them all?
Whatever you say, all these people must die.
And all the men in this tent who have fought at the risk of their life will tell you why!
Hong Taiji.
Stamp out the source of trouble, once for all.
Daisan.
Spread my order.
All the woman fourteen and above, be killed right now.
Those under fourteen, be slaves in Jianzhou.
If anyone disobeys, chop off her head and hang it on the wall!
Yes.
No, Daisan. Don't!
I, Nurhachi, stand here today.
See if gods favor you Hada or me Nurhachi!
A letter from governor mansion.
Said that Yehe has sent mom's family there.
Really?
Great.
But Yehe made me marry Menggebulu.
Jianzhou conquered Hada in a flash.
Jianzhou should be on bad terms with Yehe.
Besides.
Nurhachi treated Menggebulu's family so cruelly.
Maybe they started to fear.
Life and death is like victory and defeat.
Happens a lot.
Let alone other people's life and death.
So.
You think in the same way your father thinks?
What?
Stamp out the source of trouble, once for all.
The Jurchens are always rude and straightforward.
Eye for eye.
But have you ever thought that?
If some day,
you're not only son of the governor.
But below one person, and above all the people.
And four hundred thousand kilograms grains,
thousands of cows and sheep
might arrive in Jianzhou in the day after tomorrow.
That's okay.
It's a pity that we didn't kill that brat Ulhuda.
Not a pleasant triumph!
My lord.
You didn't kill him.
But what if he rebels after we go home?
Don't we fight this war in vain?
I think he dare not.
Why is that?
Winter will come in less than one month.
The mountains always get blocked every year this time.
The path from Hada to Jianzhou is rugged and hard to walk on.
And during the time, slow slide and mud slide happen a lot.
When they retreat, half of them might be hurt or killed.
When they arrive in Jianzhou,
their damaged and weak troops
compared with our refreshed soldiers,
Hada will definitely be defeated.
Secondly,
Father has ordered.
Nearly eighty percent of Hada's military supplies will be took away.
Before departure, I also ordered my people
to burn out all the cultivated land inside and outside the Hada city.
Yehe and Hada were intended to work together to strike Jianzhou.
I'm afraid that foxy Narimbulu will take some action.
That's the most important third move.
Thirdly.
After we return to Jianzhou,
I'm going to choose a princess
to marry Ulhuda.
Such a great bestowal.
Won't that Ulhuda ask for more?
Father does so for Yehe, right?
Narimbulu was going to choose a Yehe princess
to marry Ulhuda.
If Jianzhou gives him a princess first at such a moment, it'll be like a sharp sword of marriage
coming towards Narimbulu's throat.
And Ulhuda won't dare act rashly.
You really understand my thoughts.
Well, guess again.
Whom will I send to marry him?
Report! Emergency from the mansion!
My lord. Second prince.
Concubine Monggo is dying.
Didn't people from Yehe go to visit her?
How is concubine Monggo now?
Do Dongge and eighth prince know it?
I think they better not know it now.
Based on their character,
they'll rush to Jianzhou overnight.
I'm asking you questions!
Answer me!
Have any doctor checked upon her?
If it's not serious, you wouldn't come here report.
Tell me.
How long could concubine Monggo last?
Tell me!
Second prince.
You haven't answered his lordship's question.
Dongge.
What nonsense are you talking about?
Hong Taiji, prisoners of war are also lives.
Maybe you've been used to slaughter.
But measure them after yourself.
Aunt is lying on the bed, sick and dying.
If your family are gonna be killed...
Seeing family be killed is of course the most tragic thing in one's life.
If I'm the captive,
and Menggebulu is gonna kill me and father,
it's understandable.
Nothing to resist.
Besides, Menggebulu said harsh words.
If father didn't kill him,
how to maintain our military prestige?
Your father taught you to kill one to warn the others.
Mark your name and maintain your prestige.
But didn't teach the simplest four words.
Be a benevolent ruler.
If you're not large-mined enough to tolerate the others,
aren't you gonna kill many people around the world?
Nurhachi killed Menggebulu to maintain military prestige.
Why have to kill him together with his children and wives?
He thinks by doing so,
people in the world know he's not afraid of his curse.
But he doesn't know by doing so,
people in the world will fear him, and distaste him.
Just because of your pleading,
father broke the rules and spared Ulhuda.
Kinda gave Hada a charity as well.
We've taken all Hada's cows, sheep and grains.
Within a month,
Hada will borrow grains from our Jianzhou.
Submitting to Jianzhou is their only way out.
In this way,
Kinda a face-giving to the Ming dynasty.
So life is not life, but only face.
Dongge.
In principle, none of Menggebulu's family should be left alive.
But now, they are all safe. What else do you want?
This is the battlefield.
But you value our enemy's life. In principle?
You mean, they all deserve to die? That's the principle?
I really failed aunt Monggo's entrust.
I can't take care of you.
You're so ambitious. So heartless.
You're indeed Nurhachi's son.
You're really confused.
I can do whatever you want me to do.
But in the army,
If you make father angry by interfering with his order,
have you ever thought of your safety?
And if the thing between you and Daisan gets found...
Gedai.
I'm tired. Walk eighth prince out.
Brother.
Shouldn't you be discussing things with father?
Brother, go back to your mansion right now.
Is it because...
Aunt...
Must because of aunt.
Didn't people from Yehe go visit her?
Yes, they did.
But don't why, after concubine Monggo saw her,
she felt worse.
Threw up all the medicine she ate these days.
Fell in a coma for now.
How long could she last?
At most, two days perhaps.
Take me back to Jianzhou.
Dongge.
It's cold and windy outside.
-How about tomorrow morning... -If I can't see aunt for the last time,
I'll regret it in the rest of my life.
Please.
Take me back to Jianzhou right now.
How are eighth prince and concubine Monggo?
Second prince!
Concubine Monggo...
Concubine Monggo is still in a coma.
Eighth prince went to the hall for the envoy of Yehe.
My lady. My lady.
My lady.
Doctor, why the blood won't stop?
-Aunt! -My lady.
My lady.
Princess.
You're finally here.
Her ladyship isn't awake.
Vomits blood again.
Why?
Hong Taiji has received the letter, said people from Yehe came.
Why aunt's illness worsens?
Where's aunt's mom?
Why? Why?
Aunt. Aunt.
Why?
Aunt, what are you saying?
Why?
Princess.
Her ladyship is delirious.
That day, her ladyship's mom didn't come.
But a middle-aged man.
I was waiting outside the door.
Didn't know what they talked about.
After that man left,
her ladyship started to throw up.
Medicine came out at first, followed by blood.
Then she fell in a coma.
And talked raving.
Where's the man from Yehe?
Now you start to fear.
You almost killed my mom!
Now you start to fear?!
Hong Taiji!
I'll kill you!
Calm down!
Princess, spare me. Spare me.
Spare me.
Who's he?
Princess, spare me. spare me.
Yehe...
Yehe sent him here?
Buyanggu dare not let concubine Monggo's mom come here to see her daughter.
He's afraid that Jianzhou uses concubine's illness
to detain her here as a hostage.
Tell us.
Who the hell are you?
My name...
My name is Nantai.
I'm princess Monggo's wet nurse's husband.
Beile Buyanggu sent me here.
I... I don't know anything.
Spare me, princes.
Spare me.
Spare you?
Who will spare my mom, then?
Has Buyanggu spared my mom since she's
one of them!
Hong Taiji!
Calm down!
Please, calm down!
Dongge, ask him!
What did he tell my mom?!
How could I not kill him?! Hong Taiji!
What on earth happened?
Beile Buyanggu...
He sent me here.
Told me to see...
Monggo... Monggo...
Monggo dies or not.
How could he?
Narimbulu...
And aunt Monggo are brother and sister.
Are you telling the truth?
Yes.
How dare I lie to you?
Buyanggu also said,
since she got married for Yehe,
then to die for Yehe is...
is to carry it through to the end.
If my mom dies,
I'll make you die with her!
Eighth prince. Princess.
Her ladyship is awake.
She...
She wants to see you for the last time.
Spare me, princess.
You!
Go back to tell Buyanggu!
He doesn't need to worry any more.
No one will use his clanswoman against him!
