The Jingbirok a memoir of imjin war
i told you to stop
How can this be?
We even discussed abolishing the naval forces
How is it possible for yi sunsin to build a turtle ship?
i didnt receive any report
if it was done in secret Were tax crops used to fund it?
You really didnt know about this?
Your majesty
Go ahead
You know yi sunsin well
You didnt know yi sunsin was building a turtle ship?
i told him to
You told him to?
Yes
What will i do with them?
Your majesty lee sanhae tried to lecture you but even if ryu seongryong disobeyed you
he did something that would benefit our nation
if you punish him regardless of right or wrong the court will be full of ministers
who only tiptoe around you
You said you only care about me
Why are you saying that?
i'm just a eunuch
i exist for you your majesty
But the court ministers exist for you and the people
The king is the father of the people
Do the people come first or me?
Your majesty
Tell me
Who comes first to the ministers?
You your majesty
You're the eunuch of eunuchs
The court ministers under prince yeonsan should have ignored the peope and
followed orders to please the tyrant
But they didnt and started a coup
Do you think i'm a fool?
The court ministers should put the people first
S should the king
it just makes me unpleasant
They see me as a king who only cares about myself and the servants only care for the people
Thats very unpleasant
SHouldnt the turtle ship be built with an order by me?
i know
i know i cant punish ryu seongryong and yi sunsin because of this
i know the people will criticize me if i do
thats why i'm thinking about it
Nagoya
Good
We could go to war tomorrow
No
its too early your majesty
Even a strong army is useless if there arent enough military rations
ishida what is he talking about?
Ryukyu didnt offer 20000 sacks of rice for military rations yet (Today's okinawa)
What
Send a message
if they dont offer the rice right now i'll sweep them away before i cross over to joseon
Yes your majesty
There's a place that hasnt sent soldiers yet
Where?
Tsushima
What?
Get yoshitoshi right now
Other feudal lords brought their soldiers but you didnt
Why not?
You dont want to fight joseon because of your long interchange?
Thats not it your majesty
i have no hestitaion about taking the lead in attacking joseon
is that so?
Then why didnt you bring soldiers?
Your majesty i'm doing my best to gather soldiers for the army
But there are only 10000 citizens
Finding 5000 soldiers is truly difficult
Please show some mercy
Konishi
Yes your majesty
isnt yoshitoshi your son-in-law?
He's in a difficult situation
Cant you lend him some of your soldiers?
You can receive interest later
Yoshitoshi
An order should be followed
if there arent grown men you should bring children and women to show your loyalty
Whether i send them away or not if for me to decide
You didnt even show such loyalty
Make tsushima the last training site and sweep it away
Thats not a bad idea
Ryukyu disobeyed mu order
Which place should i destroy first?
Your majesty please give me one more chance
i'll get the soldiers if it takes all the citizens
Fine
Bring women if you have to
They can cook for the soldiers
Yes your majesty
There's no way
You'll have to bring everyone
Who will be responsible for the livelihoods of the people?
We cant be killed right now
Even if you bring soldiers i'll place them behind my unit so dont worry
Okay
We have one chance left
While we do the final check in tsushima go to joseon and convince them
i will be sure to do that for tsushima
May buddha have mercy on us
i knew the country was facing financial difficulties
i was worried that my plans wouldnt go as expected
i was very suprised to see all that rice arrive at our camp
Your majesty the natonal coffers are empty but you were concerned about our country and the people
Your concern to protect our ocean broght tears to my eyes
Fortunatley the turtle ship was built in secret without any problems
it will show its splendor to you and the people very soon
Your majesty i promise you
As long as my heart beats wae soldiers wont be able to take a single step on joseon land
Please take care of your health
from yi sunsin commander of the jeolla naval district
When did the jeolla office report the turtle ship was being built in secret?
Two days ago
That means this was written around the same time
Have ryu seongryong come right now
Yes your majesty
Did you want to see me your majesty?
Did you see the plans for the turtle ship?
Yes
i always carry it because i dont want it to be leaked
Let me see
Two turtle ships like this are being built?
How did you
Yi sunsin sent this
Why didnt you tell me that you had the rice sent as if i ordered it?
i was abusing a royal order
That also is a great sin
Please kill me
Your majesty
i misconstrued you
Your majesty
Your majesty punish me
Thank you
Thank you very much
You are a truly loyal servant
Your majesty
Go home
Who's there?
i'm sorry
She was insistent on coming along
Where are you from?
From higo kyushu (today's kumamto)
Thats far
Have her go back home
Please let me stay nearby until the boat leaves
Send her back
Go now
No
i said go
i'll just watch you leave
i'll just watch the boat leave
We have to go to war soon
Military discipline should be strict
anyone who doesnt follow military law must be punished severely
Yes sir
Please let me off just once
Pleas let me off
What's going on?
He went AWOL
i didnt go AWOL
My wife went into labor
i was going to return as soon as she gave birth
Gather all the soldiers on the drill ground
i'll use him as an example to show what happens when you go AWOL
No no
He didnt do anything wrong
i told him to come with me
i said i would kill myself and baby if he didnt
Kill me instead
Spare my husband please
Take him away
Yes sir
No
Honey
No
Honey
No
No honey
Watch carefully
There is only death for soldiers who go AWOL
There was a long civil war in japan
The people were impoverished
The men who were drafted to go to war were disappointed but expressing such disappointment
Only led to death
Many men were separated from their families to be drafted for the war
What?
They want you to provide military rations to attack ming?
How can they challenge such a powerful enemy?
Your majesty he said he would conquer ming within a year
He was very confident about it
He'll conquer us in a year?
i cant stand to watch toyotomi hideyoshi's arrogance anymore
Shi xing
Send royal messengers to joseon ryukyu and siam right away
Tell them to dispatch soldiers since i will conquer wae
Please calm down
You heard how arrogant he is
Take the prince outside
Your majesty japan's finances arent good enough to start a war
The rebellion of bobai hasnt been suppressed yet
This isnt the time to worry about foreign enemoes
You should worry about domestic enemies
is that so?
Fine
Suppress bobai first
You can send the soldiers there to wae right away
Your majesty
We'll have a good harvest since i'm plowing the field
of course it will be a good harvest
it was cloudy for a few days
it's clear today as if the sky and land are uniting as one
This has to be a sign of a good harvest
i will take better care of the people this year
Thank you your majesty
Your majesty your majesty
Your majesty
Are you alright?
Are you alright your majesty?
Arrest them right away
Stop
i sowed seeds and prayed for a good harvest today
This is a good day
is anyoe hurt?
No your majesty
You are very gracious your majesty
Hurray for his majesty
Hurray
Your majesty i heard there was trouble
Are you alright?
i'm fine
Thats fortunate
You came too
i'm sorry for causing you concern
its alright
i'm relieved to see that you are alright
Thank you
Your majesty
Stop causing a commotion
Your majesty
i heard you had some trouble
My heart sank
Did it?
i caused you concern
Dont worry
i wont be injured or sick until you grow up to be an adult
Your majesty the doctor is here
i said im alright
i ought to
Prince gwanghae dont be too upset
i'm not upset
i know how you feel
if gongbin who gave birth to you was alive you wouldnt have been so lonely
Lets go
Good job there was a slight accident but im proud that public sentiments seem to have settled
Since the start is so good i hope we only hear songs of good harvests this year
There is a good harvest every year if the world is peaceful
Our country is peaceful thanks to you so we will have a great harvest this year
Dont worry about it
That would be nice
its nice to hear water in the rice paddies and children eating well
if we had a good harvest ad the people ate fully it will be a peaceful reign
Thats right
Your majesty
you cant expect a peaceful regin without strong border areas
The weather is warmer now
You should continue building fortresses
Public sentiments barely settled and the people started sowing seeds
They have to give fertilizer and do a lot of work for the crops to ripen
if they are drafted for forced labor public sentiments will waver again
i'm not saying we should just draft them
Pay them so their livelihoods arent affected
Then we can continue to draft men and the fortresses can be built
its been a long time since we stopped building the fortresses
You should consider it your majesty
Yes your majesty
Lets take our time
As we experienced before without comforting the people they wont be disappointed
if we have a good harvest and they can eat well
This isnt the time
Lets think about it this fall if we have a good harvest
Yes your majesty
Councilor excessive concern isnt good
Nothing has happened so far
Your majesty
Lets eat
There wasnt a war in joseon for close to 200 years
They werent concious of war
The fortresses that were stopped during construction didnt look proper
Training and defense measures were also neglected
Joseon ignored the signs of war and were comfortable with daily life
Attention
Brave soldiers of japan
i am very proud of you for unifying japan and becoming one
Even if our country is unified it is devastated from long war
Our families and brothers are suffering from hunger
So i made a decison
i will conquer vaster and richer lands and wipe away the tears of our families and brothers
My proud brothers
The new continent across the ocean will be our land soon
it will give us an abundance of crops
Everything we conquer there will become yours
Let's go to ming
Let's go to joseon
Tsuhima (First division So yoshitoshi's camp)
i'll get going now
The guards sent by the taehap and kato's men are watching us
if anyone asks tell them you're going to joseon for reconnasissance
Yes sir
Yoshitoshi
This is our last chance
Get it done
Yes sir
May buddha have mercy on us
Left gyeongsang naval headquarters
Commander
it's been a long time
Send a report to the court right away
A report?
An army of 300000 is on stand by at tsushima and the main land to attack joseon
What are you talking about?
There is going to be war
am i supposed to believe that?
Would i cross the ocean to lie?
an army of 300000?
Who is going to believe that so many soldiers will cross the ocean?
There was a royal order that there wouldnt be a war
What's the use of a royal order?
The battleships docked at tsushima could attack tomorrow
Look here
What do you want from us?
Send an envoy with a national letter allowing a path to ming so japan can pay tribute to ming
Then you should ask politely
Not talk about an army of 300000
You shouldnt threaten me
Commander
The court already refused to do that
Thats why i came again
if joseon doesnt open up a path a war cant be avoided
i cant believe anything you say
You must believe me
its not a matter of believing you
i'm just a rural official
What would change whether i believed you or not?
i cant make a decision on this
i'll send a report to the court
Lets wait and see
There's no time please hurry
Did you say war?
is he threatening to bring an army now?
i told you they are rough and arrogant and there's no need to asscociate with them
Why am i getting such a report?
The lord of tsushima is truly rude but there must be a reason that he is so sure there will be a war
You should meet him and ask him
There's no need
He wanted our trust but he's been playing both sides and causing confusion
The court must not waver over his lying yongue
if you consider that tsushima received quite a bit of food through wae's residence complex
he could be saying this for our sake
We shouldnt take his words lightly
Inspector-general
The lord of tsushima came here often like a spy
He threatened us every time
You should arrest him and teach him a lesson so he never does this again
i agree
a person who ridcules the joseon court should not be allowed to live
Have him sent to hanyang right away
Your majesty
Joseon fools
They're set on dying
Sir the lord of tsushima fled
Cheonri prepare to make a trip
Yes sir
Commander
i'm sure you heard about the lord of tsushima
i'm worried
there hasnt been a war in joseon for a long time
Defenses weakened and the soldiers became weak
if what the lord of tsushima said is true it will become difficult for our country to survive
if i could have a few years no just a few months to train our soldiers
i could give my life for that
i'm not worried because of the ocean becuase of you but im worried about the land
i hope there wont be any trouble but be prepared just in case
What will we do?
What can we do?
if they dont believe us we'll have to show them
We'll go to war when the wind changes direction
Make preparations
You cant go your majesty
Move
Where are you going?
You cant go
You cant abandon the people and leave
Move right now
if your're going to go kill me first
What?
i cant let you go
Move
if you dont move i will kill you
Your majesty just kill me
you
Your majesty we're ready
Matashiro
ishida
What do you think?
Joseon is under my feet
it is under my feet
Subtitles By KBS World Extracted By Saman (startak.iv@gmail.com)
the first war in 200 years begins in joseon
Jeong bal fights with lacking power
Ryu seongryong says they should have been prepared and is worried
Seongjo gets mad and yells at the ministers because they think it's his fault for being confident that wae wouldnt attack
Your vassal, Ryu Seong Ryong, deserves death for defying Your Majesty's order,
but to prepare for possible contingencies,
the development of bigyeokjincheonnoe and the turtle ship can't be discontinued.
Hence, I defied your order
and carried them out secretly.
What!?
Hurry up and announce me.
Your Majesty, Minister of War Hong Yeo Sun has come.
Send him in!
Your Majesty, you wanted to see me?
The Ministry of War didn't know about it?
I don't know what you mean.
I meant the turtle ship! Turtle ship!
Your Majesty, your vassal didn't know about it at all!
As the Minister of War, you don't even know what's happening in the military camps,
what exactly are you doing!?
Previously, the Left State Councillor had looked me up,
requesting approval to use the military cloth tax collected from people in lieu of military service,
to build warships at the Left Jeolla Naval District,
but your vassal had clearly refused him.
Hence your vassal, just took it that this matter never happened.
Your vassal have no idea what happened either.
So... you didn't obtain the approval of the Ministry of War...
and siphoned off the military cloth to build the turtle ship...
is that what you did?
Your Majesty, if you investigate Jeolla-do's military cloth tax you'll find out,
that it was never siphoned off to the Left Jeolla Naval District.
If that is so, how did you raise the funds for the turtle ship?
A wealthy, well-capitalized merchant helped.
What did you say? A "wealthy merchant"?
After the head of the merchants who're mainly active in Gyeonggi-do heard about the situation at the Left Jeolla Naval District,
he sponsored it.
The head of the Gyeong merchants?
That's right.
The head of the Gyeong merchants sent rice,
and the turtle ship... is being constructed using that rice.
Then, why didn't you report this truth to me?
How could I dare to openly defy your order?
However, to prepare for the possibility of trouble, it can't be stopped.
Your vassal, Ryu Seong Ryong, is willing to accept any punishment from Your Majesty.
Then... the bigyeokjincheonnoe too, is being developed with the aid of the Gyeong merchant?
That's right.
Minister of War... what do you think of this?
No matter how just the cause for it is,
defying Your Majesty's order is something unpardonable.
The Left State Councillor and Lee Sun Sin should be punished straight away.
Your Majesty, it doesn't matter even if your vassal dies,
but please, don't punish Lee Sun Sin
and interrupt the building of the turtle ship.
The turtle ship is... the iron warship that'll protect our seas, our people and our country.
If the justification is proper,
it's fine to deceive me?
Anyone can find for himself a justification to say he's right,
but if because of that, you ignore royal orders and deceive me,
what's the need for orders and national laws!?
If that's the case,
even a person who plots treason can also find... a suitable justification for himself, can't he?
Your Majesty.
Even if the order is wrong,
isn't a ruler-vassal relationship such that you first pretend to follow it?
Ryu Seong Ryong and Lee Sun Sin... await my order!
Leave.
Lee San Hae wants to lecture me openly...
Ryu Seong Ryong ignores my orders.
Isn't this a return to the old days again?
