Xinhai geming (1911 Revolution) Page #2

---

There's no way out.

The royal family, aristocrats and officials

all follow their old ways,

but what of the people?

They barely survive, ignorant of the world.

China is no match for other countries,

it's a dire situation.

Young man,

the Qing court has a hard time too.

The court?

The court gave Hong Kong to England

and Taiwan to Japan.

That's the good Work of the Qing court.

What's the use of keeping it?

I'm interrogating you,

yet you turn around to question me?

You have no grounds to sentence me.

Lin Juemin,

I had wanted to exercise clemency.

There's no need.

My comrades and I fought together,

we'll die together.

I can't be an exception.

When you die,

you'll be left with nothing.

The Qing court wants my life;

I'll destroy the dynasty at its heart.

Hello, Your Royal Highness,

this is a car used by British royalty.

As a member of Chinese royalty, let me try.

Please.

You've come because of

the Sichuan railways?

The loan agreements between our countries

and the mortgage of your railways

cannot be written off.

That's the trouble.

I knew it.

The mortgage of the Sichuan

and Guangdong railways

against your loan

will lead to trouble down the road.

If you forcibly take the railways,

it'll be a catastrophe.

Can't we find a solution, my dear lord?

Look at this invention.

It's an iron machine.

It can move forward and backward,

left and right,

whatever you wish.

My lord,

please enjoy this humble gift

and steer it in the right direction.

Mr. Ambassador,

we've already sent troops from Wuchang

to suppress the Sichuan riots.

Don't you worry.

Your Royal Highness,

you're a great strategist.

You're the one holding the steering wheel.

You have money,

you have navel fleets,

you've always been better

businessmen than us.

In 50 years,

the car you gave me

will be scrap metal,

but my little gift to you

will be priceless.

Thank you.

Open the door. Huang Keqiang.

Quick, open the door. Huang Keqiang

I Know you're inside..

Open,

Huang Keqiang.

Huang Keqiang,

open the door.

Open the door for me.

What are you doing?

Put it down.

Give me the blade.

Let me go.

What are you doing?

What?

You can't die.

I know you saw

all of them being killed.

I know

we failed.

I didn't want to die, Zonghan

I want to keep this hand

to wield the gun.

Help me,

chop it off.

No.

- No.

- So we failed,

we've failed before.

No.

Children,

do you know what the telegram says?

No.

Huang Keqiang is alive.

Fate has been kind.

Who's he?

Huang Keqiang

is a strong and determined man,

a man who won't die.

We don't know him.

But do you know Homer Lea?

Yes.

Take me to him, please.

Yes.

Where's Homer Lea?

There.

Homer Lea.

Homer.

Homer.

- Homer.

- Hey, I'm here.

Mr. Lea,

tell me.

Why are you so interested

in Chinese revolution?

Nowadays,

a Chinese revolution

is the only thing that can

make exciting history.

Exciting?

That's not what our revolution is about.

Why revolution?

I was once a doctor.

I used to save a lot of lives

with my scalpel.

But sadly,

in my country,

life is so miserable

it might be Worse than death.

I always wonder

why my compatriots

have to endure their lives with no dignity.

They survive like animals

with very basic needs,

suffering the oppression

from the ruling class

and foreign powers.

Now,

I cannot accept it,

I will not accept it.

I want to change.

I want a revolution.

Come,

I'll show you.

Recently, in Sichuan,

the central part of China,

people have launched a movement

of protecting railway projects against

the hopelessly corrupt Qing government.

It is said that the Qing government has to

mobilize the army from Hubei province o Sichuan.

What they don't know is many officers

who stayed behind in the army of.

Hubei, Hunan, and Jiangsu,

are active members of Tongmenghui,

the Restoration League,

I have a feeling

that in the south of Yangtze River,

an even bigger movement

will take hold.

I want to join your revolution.

That's fine.

I would like to invite you

to join the Chinese Revolution

as a military advisor,

but I'm afraid I cannot afford you

and pay the attention that you deserve.

This,

this is not about money.

It's about you, Sun.

You must be China's revolutionary leader.

I promise you.

Peng Chufan.

Liu Fuji. Yang Hongsheng.

The three of them plotted mutiny.

L'I3Vf1'S punishment is upon them.

We execute them today

as a Warning to all.

Among you...

Governor,

we found the list. What should we do?

What else can we do with

those rebels from the Gongjinhui?

Starting tonight,

kill everyone on the list.

No one will be spared.

All of you,

ask your own conscience.

The Qing court supports

and protects you,

yet you plot to rebel,

following such thugs as Sun Wen.

Isn't that the behavior of unfilial sons,

killing their parents?

Stop, you two.

What are your names?

Xiong Bingkun of the 8th regiment,

Jin Zheolong of the 8th regiment,

Lie low.

This is a crisis.

Don't be hot-tempered.

Yes.

What is this?

A mutiny?

Not sleeping?

What do you want?

What?

This is a mutiny.

Tao Qisheng.

Brother,

put down your rifle.

I'm leading a mutiny.

How many more will you kill?

You're lucky that

I'm aiming at you.

Brother,

this is not a joke.

If we don't do it now, then when?

Help.

Tell Zhang Zhenwu to bring

two of his battalions.

Aim all artillery at the

Governor's mansion.

When Xiong Bingkun lights the torch,

fire at the mansion.

Yes.

Charge.

Hand grenades.

Go.

Jin Zhaolong

Jin Zhaolong, Xiong Bingkun.

Lead two platoons.

Order everyone to bring gas canisters.

Rush in to fuel the fire.

Light the target.

Yes.

- Quick.

- Quick.

Quick.

Quick.

Ready,

aiming at the Governor's mansion.

Load.

Done.

Fire.

Load.

Fire.

Good morning, Mrs. Johnson.

Good morning.

Here.

Oh, yes.

Oh, Dr. Sun.

Yes?

It seems like there's something

in today's paper about China.

Thank you.

Do you need some help, Dr. Sun?

Can I give you some water?

I'm all right.

Yat-sen.

Hey, what's going on in here?

What are you guys doing?

Come on.

Yat-sen. The Revolution has succeeded.

- Hey, what's the matter with you?

- Sorry.

On October 10,

The Revolutionary army took over Wuchang.

Governor Rui Cheng fled overnight.

Wuchang revolutionaries telegraphed

the entire country,

asking them to join in the rebellion.

The world's in shock.

Yat-sen,

you should return to China immediately.

I'll reserve a boat ticket for you.

You only need to spend 20 days across

the Pacific, then you'll reach Shanghai.

It happened in Wuchang.

It happened in Wuchang.

Send a telegram to Keqiang in Hong Kong,

so he travels to Wuchang

to lead the revolution.

Yes.

Sun,

I'm ready.

I'll go to China with you.

No.

I'm going to Europe first.

Huang Xing is much better than me

to handle this in China.

Why?

The unrest in China

will be closely linked to the

Four Nations Bank loan to the Qing court.

The court's out of money now,

but if they get the loan,
