The Battle of China Page #2

We can only reclaim Taiwan if Fujian is secured

And by reclaiming Taiwan

we will strengthen our maritime trade

Only when our court is prosperous...

Can we have sufficient power

to drive the Qing out of China

You don't know the military affairs

Reporting from frontline

Military Governor Gan Hui!

Two Dutch warships

fired upon Fujian's trading vessels

They engaged in battle all the way

from the Taiwan Straits to Mazu

I have a treaty with

the Dutch Viceroy Kuye in Taiwan

They are not permitted to interfere

with the Fujian trading vessels

How could he break the treaty! We must retaliate

Inform the batteries to fire the canons!

Yes, sir!

My highness

Please don't watch what my father says

Fire!

Over there

Father

My son, never forget...

You must always protect Fujian Province

and our home

Yes, sir

Attack!

Bravo!

Nice job

Have some tea

Mother, please go ahead

Mother

Forget the sadness arising

from your argument about

Father's mauner of anti-Qing

Father selected this dish

Buddha jumping the wall. Just for you

The story is that. This dish is so fragrant...

Even when monks catch whiff of it...

They jump over the monestary wall

just to steal a few bites

That is why this dish is called

Buddha jumping the wall

I can already smell its wonderful fragrance

Mother

Mother, this is hibiscus and swallow nest soup

The tide of a thousand years;

the tears of ten thousand people

Form this bitter ocean water

The wind blows south; the clouds move north

But neither can carry my grief away

Searching for one's home on horizon far away

Reuniting with parents only in dreams

My wish always pushes me on!

I ask the plum blossom in the old courtyard:

When can I return?

Pipa is my voice but fails to relieve my worries

Who understands the feelings of these strings...

And the meaning of this song

My lady

I would like to express my gratitude again

for saving my life

You're the girl who was drowning at sea

Your song expresses heartfelt sorrow

My son says your singing expresses

longing for your parents

Can you tell me why?

My lady

I am from Taiwan

During Emperor Tianqi's rule

The Taiwanese revolted against the Dutch...

But unexpectedly, it did not succeed

My parents were both killed

Many of us fled to Fuzhou

Please, my girl

Come with me

I shall be your mother

lmperial Namekeeper!

lmperial Namekeeper!

lmperial Namekeeper!

My respected elders

Zheng Chenggong is at your service...

And await your instructions

I see two people down below

Lower the drawbridge!

It is Officer Zhang

from the Commanding General's headquarters...

But I don't recognize the others

Officer Zhang, who are those among you?
