The Jingbirok: A Memoir of Imjin War
Kill the pirates and traitor
Carry out the order!
Kill them
They deserve to die!
Please spare me.
There are more spies.
I will give you all the names
Please spare me
Don't Even Try.
Kill him
Bigyeokjincheonnoe.Bigyeokjincheonnoe.
Bigyeokjincheonnoe!
What did you just say?
Bigyeokjincheonnoe
How do you know about that?
I heard about it in japan
I heard such a weapon is
being made in Joseon
Who did you hear that from?
First promise you will spare me
That's not for me to decide
If you contribute to catching the spy
I will ask His Majesty to spare you
Then get me his promise
Do you think this is a negotiation?
Even if you get out of this prison
the people won't spare you
Tell me everything you know
Then the court could protect you
Can you really protect me?
I will
I was with someone named
Oh Manok in japan
He said he was going to jeseon as a spy
to receive a plan of bigyeokjincheonnoe
This is the daily record of
people who entered
Because there is confidential matter
we kept records not only of officials
but also of the hired hands
Did anyone seem suspicious?
You know that most of the people here
worked here for over 5 years
we know all the families well
This person is absent today
He went to his hometown because
his mother was in critical condition
Where is his homwtown?
Search the place
Yes sir!
He said there were dozens of spies
around the nation
If Sakadou wasn't captured
he would have been sent to the capital
as a spy too
He's just a pirate who plunders
He would have been a spy in our capital?
That's a suspicious point
I think the pirates are connected to
the main land
Are you saying they have the plans
for bigyeokjincheonnoe?
Oh Manok was supposed to receive
the plan for bigyeokjincheonnoe
The spy probably still has it
Shouldn't we capture him before
he leaves the country?
General Ship Rip is coming because of that
If i was that spy i would go to Busanpo
since there are Woe officials there
I would try to leave with their help.
Its closer to Tsushima
Send a massenger to Gyeongsang Gamyeong (Goverment office for the governor of Gyeongsang-do)
and have them seal off the coast (Goverment office for the governor of Gyeongsang-do)
I will go with a cavarly unit
Wait
Just a minute
There isnt musch time.we have to hurry
The spies will expect us to
seal off the southern coast
if they do where would they go next?
They would go to the west coast
But there arent any Woe officials there
We cant seal off both coasts
Our forces will be divided too
Decide on one place
We dont have time
Send soldiers to the south coast
Jemuplo(today's Incheon)
General why did you send the main army
to the south coast and come here?
Its what Seoae wanted
Go to Jjemuplo
A cicada's skin looks like a real cicada
when it casts it off
But therel cicada is somewhere else
The spies will be watching our soldiers
We have to deceive them
You want to use
the geumseontalgak strategy? (Flee as if a cicada casts its skin)
Yes (Flee as if a cicada casts its skin)
A hunter shouldnt think from
a hunter's point of view
He should think like a boar
they probably didnt get away yet
Guard this spot with one oh (a unit of the joseon army that comprises of five men)
The rest will search with me (a unit of the joseon army that comprises of five men)
if they appear they must be captured alive
Yes sir
Lets go
Stop!
Where are you going at this hour?
I'm going to jemuplo to find dried fish
Why dont you go in the day time?
Jongno Market wanted dried fish in a hurry
Thats why we came at night
We'll have to check your bags
Put your bags down
After them!
What was that?
Stay low!
Put out the torches
Dont make a sound
Dont get up until the order is given
A matchlook cant be faster than
a sword or an arrow
Its over
Lower your swords
Retrieve their bags
the plans for bigyeokjincheonnoe and
the castle wallsaround the capital
Theres no guarantee they don't know
all our military secrets
Thats right
Give an order to all the gamyeongs (government offices for the provincial governors)
Tell them to find the spies and
increase security in military areas
Listen!
Thats obvious
How will you take responsibilty for this?
This happened while you were
the Minister of war
There werent spy activities just in
the past year or two
The spy at the military base was
a spy for 5 years
if you want to get to the bottom of it
you,ll have to go back further
All the former Ministers of war
will have to be punished
Dont try to use sophistry
You were the Second state councilor
You have to take responsibility too
Stop it
Your majesty I have no intention of
taking responsibility and stepping down
However even if i leave
please send envoys to Woe and
see what their intentions are
Your Majesty we shouldnt send envoys
We should send spies to Woe
Spies arent born overnight
it takes years to carry out activities
and bring back useful infromation
I said stop it!
Leave me
Even thives know when to
enter and leave
How can officials in
top positions not know?
Small minded people like that had control
Its no wonder the country ended up like this
Oh...that little...
What a situation we re in
Its my fault
Are you really going to resign?
We retrieved the plan for bigyeokjincheonnoe
His majesty trusted and spared you
He might get mad if you resign
if something happens and
nobody takes responsibility
this would be a country of ghosts
What will future scholars learn from that?
Im more worried about that than
His majesy being angry
He wont spare me?
I knew it
i asked im really sorry
i have to step down from my post soon
Theres no way to save you
Forget it
Thats how government people are
I was crazy to trust you
Know this for sure
Think about why people like me
turn against the government
The nobility dosent pay land tax
People like us have to pay
We have to do military service
Without getting a cent
Were told to offer specialty products
that dont even grow
Who does this country exist for?
Its better to become a person of Woe
What does it matter?
I committed a huge crime...
But you and the king made me like this
Just leave now
Your majesty its raining
Please go inside
hello
Why are standing here in the rain?
it rained on the way to the rear garden
You'll catch a cold
Please come in
Come on in
Your majesty
I'm getting rained on
because i didn't bring an umbrella
i didn'thave them prepare one since
it wasnt raining a little while ago.
if i had prepare an umbrella
i wouldn't get rained on and
i wouldn't have to worry about a cold
it would have been better if it didn't rain
if that is your concern
wouldn't feel more comfortable...
To be prepared even if it's bothersome?
Forgive me for trying to give you advice
Thank you
Who is this country for?
It's better to become a person of Woe
What does it matter?
you and the king made me like this
Did something happen to your master?
He's drinking a lot today.
it's nice to drink on a rainy day
You must know a bit about drinking
Are you crazy?
You look old.Don't lie about your age
Show me Your ID
Are you crazy?Why would i show you that?
Jongjong take this
Yes ma'am
Here.
What is this?
You drank a lot.i made some tea
Drink it
it's mistletoe tea
It will neutralize the alcohol and
protect the body
Thank you for the precious tea
Come whenever you need more
I'm not sure when i'll be able to
drink here again
Thank you for everything
Sir.
Are you being assigned to another post?
I think i should go to my hometown
and get some rest
I've beenin the capital too long
Then me too?
You dont like Andong?
Its not that.I have to take the exam and...
There must be a woman you like
You can stay
Oh no
Sir.
I don't like you either
Should i have called him orabeoni?
Pack our things?
Yes
I'd like to go to Andong and rest
Tell the children too
Thats a good idea
You haven't been looking too well
I was worried
I will make the preparations
Sir
You're being asked for at the palace
I thought about it a lot
i'll send envoys to Woe
You made a truly wise decision
it will be a blessing for this country
and the people
i'm not seeking foreign relations
by sending envoys
its to preparefor confusion and
for the safety of our people
don't forget it's just a means to
see what the barbarian country is up to
of course your majesty
Your majesty
I can step down in comfort now
Continue to be a wise ruler for
our country and its people
What are you talking about?
You were the one who
wanted to send envoys
You want to leave now that i've decided?
I have to take responsibility for the spies
Take responsibility after the matter of
the envoys is settled
You can find a suitable minister to do that
How frustrating
Except for the two of you
everyone was against it
How can i leave it to one of them?
Your majesty...
Military traiing ground near Kyoto Japan
Kato! Push! Push!
Push a bit more!
Kato!
Yeah Kato! Kato!
Kato!
Thank you your majesty
if you lost i was going to demote you
and send you to a rural area
i didn't you'd enjoy it if it ended too easily
i pretended to lose a bit
You'repretty smart
Give the soldiers meat and wine!
Your majesty
Hojo Ujinao of odawara castle
started a rebelion
Hojo?
The soldiers must want action
Good.
Bring a map of odawara castle
Yes sir
Unit 1 will surround Odawara Castle and
unit 2 will seal off the waterway
They'll be isolated in the castle
They won't last a month
What are you talking about?
Let's make it swift
We should raied them at night
There will be too much damage for us too
if you want to minimize damage
even if it takes time
Don't be foolish!
There are many rebellious forces
We cant leave Kyoto for a long time
Even if we sufer some damage
we should suppress them quickly
Kato.
Do you think i would leave Kyoto
without taking any measures?
I'm sorry i just...
Never Mind
The soliders of Odawara Castle are
my soldiers too
Like Konishi said its better to
have them surrender
- Konishi - Yes
How many soldiers do you need?
50'000 should be enough
Okay.
Tell the daimyos about odawara castle
and form an army
Yes sir!
Konishi
Yes sir
Do you still believe in Kirishitan? (Catholicism)
No
I let it all go when
you ordered me to abandon it
That must not have been easy but good
Dont forget to continue studying Joeson
Yes sir
You can go now
Konishi is lying to me
What?
You cant abandon a belief that easily
I would have believed him if he said
he was trying even if it was hard
i know he's hiding the Kirishitan priests
How dare he deceive you?
Kato!
This isnt the place for Konishi to die
Then?
His family knows Joseon well from trading
He's still useful
Let it go until's he's useless
Yes sir
You want to send me to joseon?
My lord
it wont go your way
How can this be?he wants to send envoys?
And he wants to leave it to Ryu Seongryong
someone who should resign?
i can't believe it
i dont understand his majesty
Gaeam what is going on?
He spared him for the Jeong Yeorip incident
i dont know why his majesty
favors Ryu Seongryong so much
Thats easy
Hello
You're a bit late
he is using Ryu Seongryong and Lee Sanhae
as a check against us
A check?
He was controlled by the Easterners
He won't be controlled by us
So he's going to leave Ryu Seongryong
and Lee sanhae?
Now do you get it?
He's going to rule his own way?
We won't be able to carry out
Taoist politics then
I have two plans
Ryu Seongryong and Lee Sanhae
have to be removed
Ryu Seongryong volunteerd to be punished
but his majesty spared him
How can we beat that?
We have to fight head on
Envoys can't be sent and
Ryu Seongryong can't remain on the court
Go on in
Don't call me here in the future
Come to the hut
i'm the second state councilor
it's alright
Your status will be restored soon
Thank You
I already made my decision
Don't discuss it further
Your majesty I will step down
Be quiet
Your majesty
I know you want to
be prepared for trouble
But sending envoys to Woe will
shake up the roots of this country
You said yourself
You should find other means
Ryu Seongryong must take responsibility
for the spies and be removed from office
Top secrets were almost exposed
if nobody taks responsibility
how will order be set among
all the government officials?
You must punish him
if the former minister is responsible
the current minister has more responsibility
All the officials are responsible
if you punish Ryu Seongryong
you will have to punish the current
Minister of war me and
the second state councilor Jeong Cheol
He's not completely wrong
What do you think Second state councilor?
of course
i will have to take responsibilty
and step down too
What?
i will also resign
We will resign
You want to be a wolf an a mountain
without a tiger?
What am i?
Your majesty please calm down
Your majesty!
Get the doctor!
Your majesty!
Your majesty...
He took some medicine and fell asleep
okay.let me know when he wakes up
Yes your highness
Whose servants are jeong cheol
and the westerners?
Even dogs don't bite their masters
How dare they make His majesty take to bed?
I wont forget this
Prince Imhae
lower your voice
Your highness i cant take it
its making me very angry
oh dear
please calm down
there isnt any peace in the palace
its because of greed
the servants are greedy
And his majesty...
im sorry im stepped overboard
Lets go
Will you be alright?
if the opponent removes
the cha and po in janggi
we should be prepared to remove
the ma and sang
the opponent could upset the board
if we're all abandoned
the court wil be
have to be filled with eastrners again
He wont be able to do that
The court will be paralyzed
Convince his majesty to let me go to
my hometown and get some rest
if you go now you wont be able to
return to the capital
endure this for the future
besides its not a matter for me to
get involved in
His majesty and the westerners are
fighting for power
its a pathetic sight
What will the people think of the court?
I agree
But will things get better if we step down?
If we do the westerners will act arbitrarily
Then this country will...
Sir
as the leader of the westerners
you once did the same thing
I blindly followed too
How can you say we're right
and they're not?
they had someone like Yul Gok
Seoae
This isnt right
if you step down
we wont be able to send the envoys
His majesty agrred to that with diffculty
Your majesty are you alright?
Do i look alright to you?
i am sorry
What is your job?
Did you watch jeong cheol?
I waited for you to get up
I watched him as you told me to
There was a schemer behind him
A schemer?
Are you song lkpil?
What did you just say?
Are you mistaken?
Much time passed
But i know the person i saw with you often
it was definitely Gubong
Thank you.you can go
Gyeham whats going on?
Are you sure its song lkpil?
Yes Father
What is the crime?
He told Jo heon and the confucian scholars
to write appeals during the investigation
of jeong yeorip's treason
No wonder
Jeong cheol couldnt make
such meticulous moves
song lkpil was behind him
Who found out?
Was there an appeal?
No
A royal order was given
There weren't any appeals?
it was a secret order by his majesty?
Sir
Did you hear?
is it true that song lkpil was behind
the framing of innocent scholars?
it seems so
Jeong cheol moved his plans
How can this be?
A thousand innocent people died because of
One person
His majesty could have given Jeong Cheol
a sword knowing it was a ruse
its killing the opponent with
someone else's sword
im beginning to fear his majesty
Did you want to see me?
i heard you were close with song lkpil
Yes
but i havent seen him since
his status dropped to a servant
is that so?
i heard he went to your house a few days ago
Am i mistaken?
Councilor
Yes your majesty
its just the two of us here
isnt it perfect for us to have a secret?
Lets say you have nothing
to do with song lkpil
Your majesty please kill me
I said you have nothing to do with him
Why should i kill you?
You area pillar of this counrty
The ceiling would fall if a pillar is removed
I will never forget your kindness
if another pillar is removed
the ceiling will still fall
How about supporting the ceiling well
with the other pillars?
Do you mean Ryu Seongryong
and Lee Sanhae?
I will abide by your wish
There is only one reason for pillars
They stand to support the ceiling
Can you do that?
I will do that
About the matter of sending envoys to Woe
What should i do?
Do as you wish
get up
You are a truly loyal servant
I wont punish song lkpil severely
Dont meet him and
cause a misunderstanding
Thank you Your majesty
Kim seongil of sungkyunkwan would be
a suitable envoy
He is knowledgeable and spirted
He will fulfill the task well
Kim seongil studied with you under Toegye
How can you let personal relations
affect such a important matter?
its not that Dont misunderstand
Then how about sending
Hwang Yungil of jungchubu?
He is also knowlegeable and has insight
Hwang Yungil is your...
We conceded to sending envoys
You should concede a bit too
His majesty left the matter up to
The minister of personnel
This isnt a game of baduk
it is an important matter
We should be in agreement
Stop it
i will form a group of envoys with
Hwang Yungil and Kim seongil
Minister
I was thinking of Hwang Yungil too
Im sure he'll do a fine job
I Hwang Yungil accept your order
I Kim seongil accept your order
Remember
This is a mission of scouting
Do not do anything to lower
the status and spirit of Joseon
Yes Your majesty
March 6 1590
After much diffculty Westerner Hwang Yungil
and Easterner Kim seongil headed to
Japan as envoys
it had been 150 years since
Joseon sent envoys
Ryu Seongryong became
The Third state councilor
is it true that Song lkpil was behind
the framing of innocent scholars?
His majesty could have given Jeong Cheol
a sword knowing it was a ruse
its killing the opponent with
someone else's sword
im beginning to fear his majesty
Gyeham? (Jeong Cheol's penname)
Im sorry im not gyeham
its been a long time
if you are a scholar recognized by Yul Gok...
Answer me truthfully
are you asking if the prison deaths
were my doing?
i dont have to be a scholar to answer that
i know his majesty is weak and
has a desire for power
i stimulated that desire a bit
He got really excited
i didnt expect the envoy matter
to be settled so easily
it seems as if he waited for such stimulation
he swung a sword around like an executioner
How dare you try to blame him
for such an atrocious act?
do you know what makes you so foolish?
You only see what you want to
Should i tell you again?
i only provided kindling in his majesty's heart
Knowing that
he set fire and burned everything
That is the king you serve

That Cause more conflicts between the Easterners and Westerners
