And we see their armor shining in the sunlight
With such few men
We will not be able to defend Fujian Province
When I was seven...
I recall reading in our teacher's garden
At that time, we were fellow students
The class bullies frequently picked on me
You were always willing to fight back...
Coming to my rescue
You...
You are a hero in my heart
Li Wei
That is only fourteen years ago
Are you no longer that same Li Wei?
Things are different today
When I went to Nanjing to meet you...
I passed through the cities...
Zhengjiang, Shaoxing, Hangzhou, and Yuhua
The Ming troops faced defeat everywhere
How could this not raise doubts?
We have both received the Ming emperor's favor
The emperor's favor?
How have you served your country?
The Ming emperor has given you a name...
To have you risk your life for his sake
You are doing just as told
Li Wei!
The Ming court...
Has fled in defeat all the way
from Beijing to Fujian
After Fujian is lost in battle
where will the court go next?
What use is there in defending Fujian?
Li Wei, watch what you say!
Your life is at stake!
I will say what I want!
What are you doing!
Sit down!
Sit back down!
I've had too much of this strong drink
Bring more!
lmperial namekeeper
Please forgive me
Who is that playing?
Xue Liang, my adopted sister
What noisy racket!
It is the masterpiece Ambush
Guards!
Yes, sir!
What are you doing?
I want to invite your adopted sister to join us
Such a masterpiece...
Should be better appreciated
Let me go!
lmperial Namekeeper, you are surrounded!
Look out for the arrows!
Xueliang!
Stop!
Step back!
Take them off
Zheng Chenggong...
I recall our past friendship as schoolmates
I must reveal the truth to you
At midnight, my troops will surrender to the Qing
According the the Qing imperial decree...
Ming officials are to keep their titles
under the Qing
If you come with me...
You will also keep your title
The Ming imperial army...
Will not so easily surrender!
Even if you kill me...
You can not escape
I will fight to the end for my country!
To live for loyalty
Even if it means my death...
and surrender to the Qing
Bringing scorn upon myself!
We from Fujian will never...
Surrender to the Qing!
lmperial Namekeeper
lmperial Namekeeper!
Li Wei, I will take your life!
It is better than becoming a traitor!
Wait, wait!
I am not the one. It is your father!
Shut up!
Viceroy of Fujian and Guangdong...
Have you made up your mind?
lmperial Namekeeper!
Throughout my life
I have always detested traitors
Although Li Wei is my friend
He had to come to this end
From today
All officers will be under
the command of Wan Li
I shall let the past be past
The devoted will be rewarded!
Xueliang
will remain with you while she recovers
You must give her your best care
Please rest assured
Go, go
Mr. Zhang
My husband
Mr. Zhang, where are they going?
Master...
Your father is going to Beijing
Father, mother
My son, you have come back
Father, I have killed Li Wei
What!
Li Wei told me...
You had given him the order
Of course, he is under my command
To surrender?
I am not surrendering
But Li Wei's troops
have already shaved their heads
Perhaps you have not yet heard
Hunan and Jiangxi Provinces
have all been taken by the Qing troops
Even your teacher Qian Xianyi
now pays allegiance to the Qing
No, he could never have surrendered to the Qing
There must be a mistake
How could there be a mistake...
In informing me...
About such an important matter?
My son
I know you don't want to think it possible...
But the Ming dynasty is coming to an end
In China's 2,700 year history...
From the Zhou dynasty until the present...
Only during the rule of the Ming...
Has Taiwan come under the rule of foreigners
There is no use in serving a court...
Which has decayed to this point
Father
the emperor has given me the imperial surname
And the first name Chenggong (Victory)
It is my duty to restrengthen the Ming
and reclaim Taiwan
Since times ancient
fathers have always taught their sons to be loyal
I have never heard of a father
teaching his son to be a traitor
How dare you declare yourself a traitor...
In front of your son and wife?
Insolence!
My son
Your father is not surrendering
The Qing Emperor has appointed me
Viceroy of Fujian and Guangdong
Only Hero understands and handles the situation
It is an either for hero
It is hopness for Ming frighting against Qing
Every emperior only devotes to internal struggle
even he is being destroyed
You can keep your loyalty
For the goodness of Zheng family
Separtion is our best choice
Master, everything is set to go
Father
if you go, you will be in grave danger
You can never return
I must express my appreciation to the emperor
Father!
Sen'er!
Father!
No
Father!
Take care of your mother
Father
Be careful!
I will be filled with grief and take revenge!
Zheng's Father never again returned to Fujian
Qing Emperor finally decapitated him in 1662
Attack!
lmperial Namekeeper, are you hurt?
lmperial Namekeeper
the western part of the city has been taken
Attack!
Yun'er
Mother
Mother
Protect the lifeline of the Zheng family
Take the child!
Hope of Millions!
In August, 1946
Qing Dynasty captured Fuzhou's lmperial Court
Zheng's mother died in the battle
Ming's last Emperor was captured
and Passed away in prison at Fuzhou
Mommy
Come here.
My son
It's an eagle
It's flying so high!
In the next 14 years
Zheng kept fighting Qing Dynasty
After defeated in Nanjing
He retreated to Xiaman in Fuijian Province
He faced The Netherlands Sea force's invasion
Holland's attack take away these tables
Quickly make room for the injured!
The sea is becoming more and more perilous
It's best for you
to move into the official residence
and live with us
I am only an adopted daughter...
And my mother
who adopted me is no longer with us
It's not appropriate for me
to stay in the official residence
In addition, while you look after the canons...
I see to the teahouse
This way we can help each other
Chenggong is still attending the canons
Please deliver this food to him
I known you take care lmperial Namekeeper
Chengong's arrow wound from the past become
even more painful by the wind and cold
I am busy
take this medicine to him as well
We would like to give you this medicine
You are worried about the situation today
Today
Many of my fellow soldiers...
Have been buried at sea
Xueliang
The first time I saw you...
Your music brought tears to my mother's eyes
I swear this even after ten years
To bring you back to your home in Taiwan
Everytime I set eyes upon the Hope of Millions
I am overcome with grief
Protection of Xiamen is not forever
If we plan to fight against Dutch
we have to take care Qing Army's attrack
