The Jingbirok: A Memoir of Imjin War
How many in number?
There are a total of 8000 soldiers and there are about 3000 cavalrymen
it wont be easy
We'll finally have a real battle
We should spilt up and attack the middle and sides
Yes sir
i'll take the middle
You two take the left and right
Yes general
General it looks like there are about 15000 of them
General kim if you were the enemy leader what strategy would you use?
Since there are a lot in number i would go for the middle and sides
Right?
So would i
it would be nice if they did that
That would be much better than the cavalry unit fighting them head on
What about the matchlock unit?
Have the horses as far apart as possible and avoid the bullets
We'll have to disperse them first from a distance the bullets cant reach
General lee
Yes
i thought about defending joryeong and moving the hangang defense line
i thought of many ways but they were all reckless
Do you know why i chose this spot as the battleground?
Since they landed in busanpo they advanced without stopping
Our soldiers became afraid and feld without even fighting
The only way to stop the enemy and raise the morale of joseon is to fight the enemy head on
if
Even if we lose at least half the enemy forces will be damaged
it will be easier to defend them at hangang
it wont be meaningless at all
General
Let's bury our bones here like real generals
i will follow you
i will fight with you too
Everyone prepare for battle
Prepare for battle prepare for battle
Everyone prepare to charge
Charge
Attack
Shoot
isnt there any news yet?
No your majesty
Go
Go and find out
Yes your majesty
General ship has to stop them
isnt there any news of the army sending soldiers from the north?
No
The officials and soldiers who heard about the battle seem to be hesitating to go
They should be forced by military law
i already gave that order
Supreme commander are making plans to defend the capital if chungju falls?
i'm looking for measures but excluding the capital forces that general shin took there are less than 5000
Oh
is the fate of joseon up to general shin?
Konishi you're a general
Dont just stand there come and fight
Matcklock unit forward
General
is this it?
Even if we die we cant let them have our bodies
Right general kim?
Understood
Thank you for following a lacking person
No no
i fought with you without regret
i fill fight them even as a ghost
They probably wont survive
We won but our forces were damaged too much
Reorganize and report on the damage
Yes sir
April 1592
General ship rip was defeated at tangeumdae
He led the cavalry unit and defeated the enemy four times
But the tables turned because of the marsh area by the river
Ship rip kim yeomul and lee jongjang fought to the end and died
The enemy lost half of their forces
Konishi yukinaga couldnt go after seonjo who took royal flight north
He had to stay in hanyang for a while
Where are you coming from?
Tangeumdae
You were soldiers under general shin/
Yes sir
Were you defeated?
Yes sir
Less than ten survived
What will we do?
Return to hanyang and report this to ryu seongryong
What are you going to do?
i have to meet konishi yukinaga and try to buy some time
Hurry
Yes sir
General the first division led by konishi ammihilated the joseon army at tangeumdae
What?
The sun didnt even set yet
The battle is already over?
Yes sir
Konishi
He fought with everything he had because he didnt want me to achieve merit
The first division probably suffered damages
What about damages?
over 8000 died
What?
8000?
His army is ruined
How can you say he was defeated?
i cant wait to see his face
The taehap was right
Did you say annihilated?
Yes your majesty
What will we do?
General shin couldnt even last a day?
How can this be?
General shin jumped in the river and took his life
General shin?
Mother
Father-in-law passed away
Father-in-law
What is happening to this country?
And what about me?
Come here
i'm afraid
Mother i'm afraid
dont worry
We have his majesty
What will his majesty do?
What do you think?
He'll have to gather the remaining soldiers and people to fight
Would he do that?
Prince gwanghae if you fight against the enemy you cant stay in the back
People dont follow someone who only cares about his own life
Whether the people follow me or not i will fight the enemy even if i have to do it by myself
Good
i'm proud of you
Dont think about my safety either
if i get in the way of you fighting i will gladly take my life
Why are you saying that?
Dont think about small things
Have a strong mind
is that understood?
Yes your highness
The country is a mess
Hanyang wont be safe
i should take royal refuge
Royal refuge?
general shin was defeated but the enemy is still in chungju
There is some time left
Gather soldiers and find a way to defend the capital
i agree with the minister of taxation
it is easy to take royal refuge but it is difficult to return
You have to be prudent about this
Thats right
He has to be prudent
Thats why he should take royal refuge
it is almost 140km from chungju to hanyang
They fought from busanpo to chungju
it only took them 15 days
We dont have soldiers to stop them from coming to hanyang
They will reach hanyang within 3 days
There are less than 5000 soldiers left
How will we defend them?
3 days isnt a short time
it is enough time to gather people and prepare them to fill in the spots of the lacking soldiers
How frustrating
Why do you think the enemy advanced so quickly?
its because the generals and soldiers feld out of fear
General shin was defeated too
Do you think we'll be able to gather soldiers in the north after they hear about this?
Dont you know what the people are like?
They're the first to flee with their families
That is why royal refuge is out of the question
Your majesty whether you show an intention to defend the capital or not
will affect the soldiers and people
Your intention will have a huge effect
if you take royal refuge without even trying to fight it will be hard to gather the people again
Please reconsider
Well
Would the soldiers and people gather just because i show a will to defend the capital?
i dont think so
if they were so patriotic they wouldnt have feld in the first place
There are people who fought to the end with jeong bal and song sanghyeon
i know that but who else is there?
Dongnaeseong was taken and the enemy is almost here
Who fought for me and the country with everything they had?
i'd rather die than take royal refuge
What king wants to be remembered as abandoning the palace the capital and the people?
i'm not taking royal refuge
The soldiers and people who fled abandoned the capital
Your majesty how can you say that?
The people can be weak but at times they're stronger than steel
if you show a will to defend the capital the people will
Be quiet
i always listened to you
What was the result?
i sent envoys to wae but they attacked
i went envoys to ming but that resulted in a misunderstanding
i didnt abolish the naval forces but they couldnt even stop one ship
Am i supposed to trust you again?
Listen carefully
i'm not abandoning the capital
i'm only leaving for a while to reorganize the army
You're trying to make me stay by saying ideal things
But dont you know it's over if a king is captured during a war?
The national defense council will prepare royal refuge
He said it was to prepare a counterattack
You still cant abide by that?
King gongmin took royal refuge to andong to avoid the red turbans
He returned to the capital after they were suppressed
Dont you know preparing a counterattack is the best way right now?
The red turbans took the capital and plundered the nation
Dont you know that goryeo fell because of that?
Councilor
Are you saying royal refuge will result in the fall of this nation?
it will make public sentiments turn
i'm not saying he should stay forever
His majesty should show an intention of defending the capital
so we can gather people for a counterattack
it isnt right for him to take royal refuge without showing a will to defend the capital
when the enemy is 3 days away
He can leave generals and soldiers to defend the capital
That is why we're discussing it
Who is going to truly defend a capital without a king?
it will only buy time for his majesty to take royal refuge
Do you want to insist on a reckless decision that will result in his majesty being captured?
if he takes refuge so easily from the start what will he do later?
The enemy is 140km away
if he goes to hwanghae-do he'll take refuge to pyeongan-do
Then he'll go to hamgyeong-do
Where will he go next?
i'm worried he'll abandon the country using a counterattack as an excuse
Your majesty you cant abandon hanyang
You cant do that
You cant abandon your conutry
You cant do that
Your majesty defend the capital and wait for reinforcements
if you take royal refuge i will take my life with my mother
Your majesty please reconsider
Your majesty the royal relatives are against royal refuge too
Your majesty please reconsider
Why dont you know my intentions?
Leave right now
if you're going to abandon this country kill us before you go
Are you leaving already?
lets go if you're done eating come on
i cant go
i still have a lot of money i have to be paid
Where do you want to go?
is that the problem right now?
We have to survive
Even general shin lost to them
The king is going to take royal refuge
How are you going to survive here?
Get up
You and your family will die
Lets go
oh boy
Come on
Ma'am ma'am ma'am
What's all the commotion about?
We cant stay here
Shouldnt we flee before the wae soldiers attack hanyang?
Even the king is going to run away
Dont worry too much
The king wouldnt abandon all these people and leave the country
Leave the country?
Oh you mean run away
Whatever
i cant work because i'm nervous
Shouldnt we at least pack?
Go ahead
Okay
Where did cheonri go?
Did he run away by himself?
What?
general
Sayaka fled with his soldiers
What?sayaka?
Why would he do that?
He said he couldnt die in joseon
Sayaka
He must be trying to surrender
get ready to pursue him
if we go after sayaka konishi will enter hanyang first
That little sayaka
i'll kill him one day
Make sure konishi doesnt find out about this
Got it?
Yes sir
Hey stop there
Stop
There are wae soldiers everywhere
How are we to survive?
Our fellow soldiers are dead
it's embarrassing to flee like this
We should just fight and
Do you think i'm afraid of dying?
We have to survive to get revenge
if we die after killing a few wae soldiers who is going to get revenge for all the soldiers who died in sangju
and at tangeumdae?
it's really hard for me too
but i'm enduring it
Do you want to be spotted again?
Take those clothes off and look for a house to hide in
Yes sir
Jungchuseong Konishi yukinaga's camp
We suffered too much damage
if the resistance is strong in hanyang it wont be easy to take the capital
i know but we have to get to hanyang
We'll decide there
Understood
Konishi
Kato you arrived
it must have been a long journey catching up
You should rest a bit
What?catch up?
You only arrived first becuase you left first as the advance party
Congratulations on your victory which resulted in sacrificing half your army
i'm sure the taehap will be truly happy to hear about this
i have something to congratulate you too
Sayaka went south and surrendered?
The taehap will be happy to hear that too
What?
There are two ways to hanyang from here
one is through eumseong juksan and yongin
The other is through yeoju and yanggeun
it is a bit longer
i know the roads in joseon better
i'll let you take the closer way
Are you confident?
We will leave at the same time
At 6 a.m. tomorrow morning
Fine
You have many injured soldiers
You'll have to go quickly
Let's go
Yes sir
What if kato arrives in hanyang first?
He wont be able to
Yoshitoshi
Yes
i'll stay here with the injured soldiers to deceive kato
Take an advance party and go to hanyang now
Understood
Any news from lee deokhyeong?
They dont seem interested in negotiating
Oh
What?
They're already headed to chungju?
Yes
They probably passed chungju and are on the way to hanyang about now
Good very good
They should be able to take hanyang in 2-3 days
it took less than a month?
Congratulations your majesty
Not yet
i'm not satisfied with joseon
i still have to get ming
Congratulate me then
Mitsuki
Yes your majesty
Bring me some wine
What should i do now?
You should think about the policies to carry out after conquering joseon
Right
What should i do with the king of joseon?
Just kill him?
You cant do that
The people will resist
That wont be helpful in attacking ming
You should comfort joseon
Yeah?
Wouldnt it be better for them to fear me?
ishida is right
Give the joseon king money to maintain his livelihood
Yeah?
Thats a good idea
if joseon becomes my land the king will just be another feudal lord
How much land should i give him?
A land of 10000 sacks?
is that too small?
You can decide that in time
Okay i will
What next?
Make sure our soldiers arent violent to the joseon people
You need to gain public sentiments
ishida you're too nice
Our soldiers crossed the ocean to fight
They should get something in return
it seems like you would have been happier if his majesty didnt possess joseon
Thats not what i meant
never mind
isnt there anything for me?
A residence should be made for you in joseon
A place to go and rest once in a while
Thats a good idea
Lets build a castle as big as osaka castle in the capital of joseon
Your majesty please calm down
You have to be strong
i cant stand it i really cant stand it
Lee sanhae is the only person who is willing to obey me
Lady park any news from assistant proctor kim?
Not yet
He just arrived now
Your majesty i'm kim gongryang
What brings you here?
i had him look into something
did you find out?
Well
Tell the truth
More people are taking refuge because of rumors the wae army will attack the capital
The soldiers of naesamcheong and owi who were defending the capital are also going AWOL
What?
Naesamcheong and owi too?
Yes your majesty
They're being quiet about it but over 1000 already fled
There were less than 5000
if 1000 of them fled what is to happen to our capital?
Please reconsider royal refuge
What are you talking about?
The soldiers defending the capital fled
You'll have to take royal refuge even if you say you wont go
What are you talking about?
Tell me in detail
We cant be sure the soldiers in the north will come here
Even if they do we dont know how long it will take them
The soldiers defending teh capital are fleeing
We cant form an army even if we wanted to defend the capital
if you order the capital to be defended thr ministers will realize royal refuge is the only way
They wont be able to tell you to abandon the capital first
Send two trustworthy servants to pyeongan-do and hwanghae-do
have them gain public sentiments and greet your royal carriage
You thought so far ahead
it is for you and our country
it is to defeat wae
Your majesty
Please be strong
You are my zhang liang (Strategist of emperor gaozu in the han dynasty)
i will not take royal refuge
i will defend the capital
Your majesty
i will defend our country
The supreme commander will prepare to defend the capital
if the capital cant be defended you will have to take responsibility
Thank you your majesty
What happened?
Everyone fled when they heard the wae army was coming
What?
Soldiers of naesamcheong fled?
How can that be?
Supreme commander
We're in trouble
Most of the soldiers of owi fled too Lee wonik(minister of taxation)
oh kim eungnam(minister of war)
The fortress walls around hanyang are about 28km long
There are about 30000 battlements
if we are to place an archer and reserve in each one we need a total of 60000 soldiers
How many did we gather?
Many fled
We only have about 4500
We need more soldiers
Send messengers to jeolla-do and the north and have them send soldiers
we already sent messengers
Supreme commander
Can we defend the capital?
it seems too much
i know but if we use hangang well we can defend until reinforcements arrive
The enemy doesnt have boats to cross
We might be lower in number but if we use hangang well a victory cant be guaranteed
but there's a good chance
we have to defend
your majesty what is it?
Your majesty
the country is about to fall
Servants wont die for the king
i know i'm a foolish and lacking king but its so pathetic
i'm lonely
Your majesty i will be loyal to you
Please dont worry
Can our capital be defended?
Tell me the truth
i think it will be difficult
then i will die here
Your majesty dont say that
You will defeat the enemy and achieve a peaceful reign
Will you help me achieve a peaceful regin?
Just give me your order
go to pyeongan-do and hwanghae-do with choi heungwon
Convince the people to greet the royal carriage
i will do that
Supreme commander
Lee gwang gathere soldiers and is on his way to the capital
Really?
Yes
When will they arrive?
Your majesty
The enemy is coming from chungju
Do you think the soldiers who left jeolla will arrive before the enemy?
We just have to defend until they arrive
With less tha 5000 soldiers?
it wont be easy but
Everything wil be burnt up and the people will die
Wouldnt it better to leave and return a while later?
Face reality now
Minister do you really think we can defend the capital until they arrive?
Stop now
Your majesty
Thats right
i will take royal refuge
How can you change your mind like that?
i never did
you were just being stubborn
Your majesty
