God of War
1
During the reign of
Ming Emperor Jiajing (1522-1567),
Japanese pirates raided the coastlines
of China because of the sea ban.
The chief of these Japanese pirates
was actually a Han Chinese man called Wang Zhi.
In 1557,
The Zhejiang commander led Wang
to turn against the pirates.
But Wang was subsequently imprisoned
by the Governor of Hangzhou.
So the pirates continued to raid
the coastal areas of Zhejiang.
Wang's godson Mao Haifeng
and over 1,000 pirates
occupied Cengang
with the loot pillaged from the coast.
The army under Commander Yu Dayou
besieged them for 5 months.
"Yu Dayou
Garrison Commander of Zhejiang"
Charge!
Fire!
Charge!
General!
General!
Are you alright?
We can't hold them off!
We should fall back.
Retreat!
Sir!
Like fools,
at the same hour each time.
Guns Unit dismissed!
They eat on time,
attack and retreat on time.
The Ming troops have such discipline!
Sir!
The ronins get all the credit.
Won't the soldiers feel snubbed?
Thank you.
The ronins are sufficient
to take on the Ming troops.
If these troops are so pathetic,
why didn't you invade the inland
and force the Ming Court to release my godfather?
General,
have you forgotten what Lord Matsura said?
Haifeng,
no need to remind me.
We're aware of Master Wufeng's (Wang Zhi)
contribution to the Matsura clan.
But Lord Matsura made it clear
we're not acting on his behalf.
We're wokou.
We are pirates,
under the command of Master Wufeng.
If 60 ronins
can reach Nanjing
and defeat the Ming troops,
we have a regiment of 1,000 men,
why can't we take the offensive?
According to the Art of War,
encircle when we outnumber the enemy 10 to 1
and attack when it's 5 to 1.
We only managed to hold them off
because we have the benefit of a natural barrier.
Without that edge,
we will lose just the same.
We will end up like those 60 ronins.
Sir!
You have overestimated the Ming troops.
They have 200,000 men stationed in the south
under the command of Yu Dayou.
Ming troops are cowards
and Court officials are corrupted.
A few more like Yu Dayou means nothing.
Recently,
a general named Qi Jiguang showed up
and led the Ming troops
Qi Jiguang?
What are they doing?
Bastards!
Leave them alone.
Why?
SenseL
why should samurais fight alongside ronins
and put up with their atrocious behavior?
To each his own.
We came from across the ocean
to help the Daimyo build his fortune
and to buy firearms to make him powerful.
They came here
for women and money.
Their behavior is unworthy of a samurai.
But we must keep them happy
so they will risk their lives for us.
You must remember
we're here to make money and buy weapons
in order Japan can rule the world.
Nothing else matters.
To defeat the Ming Court,
benevolence is not enough. We also need strategy.
When you become the Daimyo, Master Yamagawa,
you can be more benevolent.
we're from the Matsura Army,
it will endanger the Matsura clan.
We're pirates,
savage pirates.
Do you understand?
General Yu!
Commander Hu!
You're injured!
It's nothing.
I intend to launch another attack before dark.
"Hu Zongxian
Supreme Commander of Zhejiang"
What's the use?
General Yu!
I'm Assistant Regional Military
Commissioner Qi Jiguang.
So you're Qi Jiguang.
If you think my plan doesn't work,
you have a better idea?
Not yet.
You've been doing this
for several months, right?
General Yu,
the Imperial Court is getting impatient.
You have 20 days left of your one-month deadline.
