This scene shows us the different tactics of the chinese and mongolians. Kublai Khan is trying to terrify his ennemy, and Sidao is trying to introduce the doubt in the ennemy mind. It's a wonderful scene because it shows us the art of diplomacy in two different cultures and approach: Chinese and Mongolian. I hope you liked it.
The interesting context with Kublai, He used the 'mandate of heaven' to continue his rule in south Asia and he started wearing Chinese robes and becoming more affiliated with Chinese culture.
@@subprimemortgagesalesman4830 Hm I did read about it, but also base on my personnal experience.

I love that this show doesn't shy away from rulers being brutal back then. There's a legit fear that modern audiences might lose empathy for characters who would calmly order atrocities. Vikings had a similar problem. Your main character simply walks up and slaughters people who did them no harm, not many modern people want to associate with that. But both shows made it work.

For once, the word "underrated" is being used correctly. Usually people misuse it to refer to shows as popular and critically acclaimed as Breaking Bad or The Wire. It gets tiresome. But Marco Polo was critically panned and never found a large audience, and was cancelled due to how expensive it was to produce. And it is truly correct to say it is very underrated. The critics never gave it a proper chance, with many defaulting to a false "white savior" narrative that only shows they didn't watch much of the show.

The last scene.. where the executioners sharpen their blade.. Imagine what those prisoners thinking its feel like " oh fk o hh fk im going to die with those blade!! oh no..." the panic and anxiety must be torture.. its like a torture execution at the same time.
One of the biggest themes of war is how grey it is. Context matters and we are shown a narrative from one protagonists view. At the end of the day, neither is truly evil - they simply have different goals, no reasonable recourse for compromise, and the power to try to achieve those goals no matter what (war, basically). It’s a glimpse into the unyielding nature of humanity and something that still exists today, if you look for it.
Jia was evil in the eyes of Song and its subjects, and Kubilai was already one of the Khans and even Yuan emperors who understands Chinese culture the best. Btw, Jia Sidao, at least judging by what he did i Sichuan and else where in Song, seemed to be rather afraid of Yuan and I wonder if he had really visited Kubilai as envoy with such composure
@@JewTube001 I disagree, as horrible as that might sound at first. Death and destruction are not inherently evil -- again, perspective, context, and intent matter. In the show (I'm not 100% sure about real life, but this is a general statement I'll make), the Mongols had broader goals and ambitions, centered around a growing empire and wishes to "control more" and "have more power", concepts cemented by the actions they took to secure their future. They said, we're *going to get* from where we are now to where we want to be, no matter the cost. Indeed, that was war and destruction but it's a very similar thing to what countries have literally always done. England wasn't evil for wanting to control the colonies... they just had differing goals and fought for what they both wanted. Even the South wasn't inherently evil (despite the moral reprehensibility of slavery) during the Civil War -- again, they wanted one thing, the North and abolitionists wanted another, and the result was the bloodiest years in America's history. The list of analogous examples goes on. In each of these cases, including the Mongols, my argument is that death and destruction weren't the primary *intent* of the Mongols actions and desires, simply a consequence of conflict. If they were the primary intent, I'd argue that is much closer to "evil" than as collateral damage -- in the clip, the Mongols offer two realistic paths -- peace, albeit surrender in an unthinkable/dishonorable way, or death and destruction, but the end goal was the same: getting whatever they wanted.
@@kunalmishra9463 Then that is simply evil, there is no other way to describe it. If I treated you in this way, to steal everything from you, to rape your wife, behead you and enslave your family - then you would only see this as evil. There's nothing justifiable about the intent to kill, rape and loot en masse. And that very much is the intention here, the best you can seem to argue is that a genocide is 'grey' only because the perpetrators were acting selfishly rather than committing a genocide just for the sake of it. But great acts of evil don't happen randomly, they happen because of people that think they way you do.
There is because in the Song dinasty in that moment the chancellor was the highest position since the emperor was a kid (like 5 years old) and the father died the chancellor made a coup and was a reigning as a regent basically. He talks as “king” of China in this scene.
I'm pretty sure this was before the battle, and I forget how he dies in the show, but it seems to me that the Jio from the show is cunning yet somewhat cowardly-a bad combination. He may be a good fighter and a clever speaker, but he lacks the qualities of a leader. Even if he hadn't died the way he did in the show, he would have ultimately failed, as he was never meant for the role of king, emperor, or khan. He's like a mantis-agile and deadly, but ultimately still an insect that, when faced with a group, is bound to fail. Chancellor was the best he could have ever accomplished. His desire for the throne led to his downfall; he is such a pitiful man, like someone too weak to even touch the sun, yet wishing to claim it only to be burned in the end.
@@smellypatel5272 Not only that, but when he Fought ariq in Episode 2. His sword attacks were relatively Slow. Sidao is a Much faster & Agile Fighter. He would easily be able to counter any of Kublai’s Attacks & beat him.
@@smellypatel5272 This is True. The Mongolians Historically had a Diet very Rich in Raw Meat & lots of Milk, scenes throughout the Show even show Kublai eating Raw Meat & Drinking Milk in the Palace to showcase the accuracy of how those Men used to eat. They had a high Calorie & Nutrient Dense diet & very Well developed Physiques. Whereas the Chinese ate a lot of Lighter foods & Rice which contributed to their overall lack of Bigger Size. Plus he had far superior Armor. So Sidao wouldn’t be able to just do Preying Mantis Strikes or Whatever on his Torso. I Still believe Sidao would win a Battle with him given all the Variables. But Kublai Khan was also Smart and understood he needed to surround himself with Servants who Exceeded in the Areas & Skills where he Lacked. Capturing 100 Eyes years before.... when Jingim was just a Young Boy & Eventually Employing Him to Kill Sidao in the Battle at xiangyang Years Later. Capturing enemy Soliders & Citizens. Employing them as Servants in his Empire to grow & expand. Instead of Slaughtering all of them. Highly commendable on his Part.
@@haydenrose866 that raw meat statement is a myth. Mongolians would boil their meat most of the time and eat out. And really man, preying mantis strikes? This isn't a kung fu movie lol, these were heads of state and generals, if they did duke it out, it would be with swords and spears.
Jia Sidao was the last Prime Minister of the Southern Song Dynasty. He was depicted to be deceitful and cowardly by almost all accounts of Chinese history. During his reign, he mainly employed a policy of appeasement towards the Mongol hordes to no avail. Then, when a total war broke out between the Chinese and the Mongol empires, he led the Song army to a decisive defeat. The problem was, that he had always wanted to bow to the Mongols instead of fight against them, he only went to lead because of the stress of opinions on the Chinese imperial court.

Out of all brutal Khagans Genghis, Ugudai, Mongke and Kublai. I just hated Kublai and his brother Hulagu more than anybody. These 2 assholes were so greedy that they divided this vast empire.
Know History Boy By the time of Kublai rule the Mongol Empire is already Divided the Jochids or the Golden Horde already Split from the Great Khans of Mongolia after the death of Ogedei Khan , The Ogedeids and Chagatiads dont Trust the Jochids and the Ogedeids believe they are the Rightfull ruler of the Mongol Empire but the Succession of Mongols Great Khans are thru election by Kurultai and also the First Great Khan from Toluids is not Kublai but his brother Mongke Khan which also the Last United Great Khan or Nominally Recognized by Jochids,Chagaitids,Ogedeidids .
