The Jingbirok a memoir of imjin war
it's an appeal to fire lee sanhae for insisting on royal refuge and ruining the country
how is this the fault of the chief state councilor alone?
if it wasnt insisted that there wouldnt be a war preparations would have been made
if we made preparations we wouldnt have taken royal refuge
if you want to punish lee sanhae you should punish ryu seongryong too
That would be fair
i am going to remove lee sanhae and ryu seongryong from their positions
Thank you your majesty
are you mocking me?
i commited a sin of ruining this country
how can i be a top councilor?
since you are removing me from my position i am honored
are you saying i dont qualify to be in my position either?
Your majesty how can you say such a thing?
You're being sarcastic in saying that i made the country like this and
i'm still brazenly sitting on the throne
Your majesty i was merely ashamed and felt guilty
how could i dare to think that about you?
no no thats not what you meant
What should i do?
should i pass on the throne to the crown prince?
That would be good
i will pass on the throne to the crown prince right away
Your majesty please calm down
the existence of the country depends on you
you have to be strong and unite the people as one
Why are you being so weak?
the former kings are looking down on you
leave now
your majesty lee sanhae was the chief state councilor
his sin is the greatest
you should strip him of his position and have him exiled
the ministers all request that
please do that
do it

does it feel futile?
i'm a sinner it's a matter of course
i'm just upset that i cant contribute at all in overcoming this national crisis
if you're alive you'll have a chance
do you think so?
things have changed
they should overcome this crisis without any other intentions
you have to be the second state councilor
i will give everything i can until you return to the capital again
thank you
your majesty i've returned
good
what took so long?
did you meet konishi yukinaga?
never mind that
hanyang has been taken by the wae army
when?
they arrived south of hanyang yesterday and entered the capital this morning
the hangang defense line and capital fell in less than a day?
it didnt fall
kim myeongwon shin gak and lee yangwon didnt even put up a fight
they fled when the wae army appeared south of hangang
how parthetic
chief royal secretary
yes your majesty
hanyang is a day away from here
thats right
no no
it's only 5-6 hours away by horse
your majesty please calm down
what are you doing?prepare for refuge
move prepare for refuge
hanyang
eat well
yes sir
general this was sent by ukita
dont advance further
wait in the capital until i arrive
carry out politices so the joseon people who fled return to the capital
they are going to be our soldiers and forced labors
good
we werent in any situation to advance anyway
how much rations are left?
enough for about 15 days
then give away about half to the joseon people and tell them ro return to the capital
yes sir
find a prisoner who can write
tell him to write that we came to save the joseon people who were suffering
under a tyrant
we have no intention of hurting them so they should stop hiding and return
put up notices like that
understood
konishi
you're pretty late
it was you right?
what?
dont act innocent
you got rid of all the boats south of the river
when i sent a scout there were about twenty boats
when the main army arrived they were all gone
who else would make such a low move?
listen
there's a saying i learned when i came to joseon
a dog only sees poop
what?
general calm down
let go let go of me right now
kato
why cant you think that the joseon army got rid of them when they fled?
if you lost accept it quietly
dont be embarrassing in front of the subordinates
just eat
konishi we'll see about this
it's not over yet
koichi
prepare to go after the king of joseon
yes sir
you cant do that
this is an order from ukita
you're no match for me fool
it's a notice they're giving away rice
can we believe this?
are they trying to get us to come out so they can kill us?
whether they kill us or we starve to death we'll die anyway
listen
the wae soldiers are really giving away rice in the next village
really?
let's go and see
let's go
welcome
have a seat
here
eat a lot
what did you just say?
wae soldiers are outside? Kim su(governor of gyeongsang)
yes they're looking for you to surrender
surrender?
that's nosense
i'm the gyeongsang governor kim su
who are you?
i'm the head of the second division
led by kato kiyomasa
the 3000 soldiers of that division are here to surrender so accept us
how can we believe you are surrendering?
the wae army is heading north but we came here
believe us
you're trying to deceive us
we are going to fight and resist
try to come in if you can
do you believe me now?
i dont understand
why do you want to surrender?
did you commit some sort of a crime?
no
a long civil war ended
we thought we would all be going home
but we were drafted again
we have to fight a war in joseon and even ming
we dont want to be dragged to war and end up dying like that
gee
fine
but this isnt a decision i can make
i will let the court know so wait
thank you
sayaka was the left spearhead's leader of the second division led by kato kiyomasa
he considered the invasion as an illegal war of aggression
not long after landing in joseon he surrendered with 3000 of his soldiers
later he fought with gwak jaeu and other loyalty soldiers
he achieved much merit
seonjo gave him a rank of jeong 3 pum and named him kim chungseon
he also taught joseon soldiers how to use japanese matchlocks and
manufacture bullets
the wae army is giving rice away to get the people to return to the capital
they arent hurting the people at all
the people who were hiding are all returning home
why are they doing that?
it's a typical occupation policy
they want to settle public sentiments to prevent any resistance and then draft
them for forced labor and military service
what fools they dont know that?
never mind that
it's strange that they're not coming after the royal carriage
it's because they suffered some damage too
you're back good job
my father-in-law told me
please be strong
what can a sinner say?
finish what you were saying
they suffered damage too?
the divison led by konishi yukinaga won the battle at tangeumdae
but he lost half of his soldiers
i'm not sure about the division led by kato kiyomasa
but i heard they were also fewer in number when they entered hanyang
isnt it because they assigned soldiers in the villages they passed through?
since they didnt assign hundreds or thousands i dont think that's the reason
i dont know what they're up to but it's good since we have time to reorganize our foreces
his majesty wants to take further refuge
government building in gaeseong
let's prepare to refuge
his majesty promised the people here he would defend gaeseong
we have no choice
the enemy is too close
we have to go to pyeongyang
the councilor is right
the enemy is too close
they're not moving from the capital
if we act too hastily we will lose public sentiments
you are right
but that might be a strategy to make us let down our guard
i'm worried it's a deception for a raid
if we let down our guard and we become surrounded it's over for our contry
we need to go pyeongyang and maintain a distance
prepare for royal refuge
you cant do that
look
you were removed from office
what are you doing here?
he might not have a position but he has a rank of jeong 1 pum
he can attend this meeting
what is the situation of uor army?
we received a repot that about 9000 soldiers gathered in hwanghae-do and pyeongan-do
40000 soldiers led by lee gwang are headed this way
there are more
what?
4500 soldiers who were defending hangang and the capital
they fled without a fight
they should be in perfect shape
we dont have a report on them yet
we dont know where they are
i'm sure they'll come soon
we have a total of about 55000 soldiers
isnt it worth a fight?
wasnt it enough to abandon the capital without a fight?
you want to abandon gaeseong too?
do you qualify to criticize the generals who fled when the wae army appeared?
watch what you say
i want to arm myself and fight in battle
we can die in battle but we have to think of his majesty
he is the fate of this nation
it's over if his majesty is captured
we dont know what will happen
his majesty has to be a safe distance away from the enemy
how long are you going to insist on that?
are you going to keep going all the way to ming?
what are you talking about?
why are you talking as if his majesty will abandon the country?
why did he install a crown prince?
it is to resist the enemy and if anything happens the crown prince has to take over
how can you say such a thing when his majesty is still on the throne?
since there is a crown prince his majesty can die in battle?
dont distort what i'm saying
that's all i'm hearing
stop it
the country is in danger
we cant fight amongst ourselves
pleas calm down
it's cowardly
it's very cowardly
cowardly?
yes
he had to be referring to his majesty
he was removed from office
he must have a death wish
you should have his majesty give him poison or exile him
what's the matter?
you're such a fool
what?
when the ministers all ignored the warning given by wae ryu seongryong tried to prepare for war
if his majesty listened to him we wouldnt be in such a tragic situation
are you saying his majesty was wrong?
the ministers were wrong i was wrong
his majesty was wrong too
what?
what's important is that in his mind his majesty is admitting he was wrong
is that true?
he is an inteligent person
he knows what he did
but he knows that he will lose authority if he publicly admits that
that's why lee sanhae became a scapegoat
is that so?
ryu seongryong keeps trying his majesty down
but he tried to prepare for what was to come
if ryu seongryong leaves his majesty will suffer and be lonely
his majesty knows that
ryu seongryong is a pain but he is necessary in overcoming this crisis
he will get rid of him some day but not now
ryu seongryong is against it?
yes your majesty
have ryu seongryong come right now
yes your majesty
did you want to see me?
let me ask one question
do you really think i'm a cowardly king?
your majesty
answer me
do you really think i'm a pathetic tuler who just flees when there are soldiers
and time to stop the enemy?
if you take refuge when you can fight future historains will depic you like that
how can you say such a thing?
lower your voice
i agree with him
if i saw a ruler like that i would think he was pathetic too
your majesty
but that's when a fight can be fought but he flees our of fear
of course
i believe we can defend against the wae army
take a look
this report just arrived
when lee gwang heard the capital was taken he fled with his soldiers
is this true?
the governor is so pathetic
can you say i'm a pathetic ruler who flees when a fight is possible?
your majesty
they all pretend to care for the country but when a crisis occurs
they only look for means to survive regardless of what happens to the king
i abandoned the people?
the people burnt the palace
how could they do that if they thought i would return and fight against wae?
they said i abandoned them
they stole goods from the palace and fled
they are a bunch of thieves
the people people people
they became thieves and abandoned me
prepare for royal refuge right away
lord of pungwon
crown prince
i understand how you feel
but dont upset his majesty too much
we have to face a large army
i'm afraid i'll lose you
crown prince
you have to stay
you have to stay by his majesty's side
crown prince
get this to lee gwang
yes sir
there will be enemies eveywhere
i'm sorry
be sure to return alive
yes
the hope of joseon were the 40000 soldiers led by lee gwang
but when he heared hanyang was taken he turned his army away
it was urgent that he be ordered to head north again
nagoya
do you think they occupied the capital?
probably
who do you think won?
our army of course
i mean
konishi or kato
oh
i think konishi would have won with his brains
maybe kato won with power
they could have tied
what are you talking about?
one of them probably entered hanyang first but if the king of joseon fled
we cant say either of them won
what are you talking about?
a king dies fighting
how can someone who flees be called a king?
that's in japan
customs are different in joseon
is that so?
it's a matter of time before he is capture
if the capital was taken we conquered joseon
ishida
yes your majesty
when we receive news the capital was occupied go to joseon
carry out our occupation policies and prepare to attack ming
why dont you answer?
your majesty the soldiers will be exhausted
when joseon is occupied we have to draft soldiers and gather military rations for about a year
you should let the soldiers rest
ishida
yes your majesty
are you going to ruin my grand dream?
your majesty i was only thinking of the soldiers's morale
how many times do i have to tell you my dream isnt joseon?
dont you know that ming is the powerful nation?
this is the best opportunity to attack ming
the emperor doesnt care about national affairs
there is an uprising by hundreds of thousands of people
and ming has no influence on yodong
you want to waste a year?
ishida
i really care about you a lot since you grew up by my side since you weer little
but if you ruin my plans with such foolish words they wont be able to find
your body anywhere
i'm sorry your majesty
please forgive me
are you sure his majesty is coming to my bedroom tonight?
yes
yodo (toyotomi hideyoshi's second wife)
kita no mandokoro (nene's title)
have a seat
his majesty is coming to your bedroom tonight?
yes
are you planning to ruin his great plans?
what?
he is conquering the continent and he is taking care of domestic affairs through hidetsugu
if you have a baby boy this country could fall into confusion over who should be the successor
i dont know about things like that
i just want to serve his majesty with all my heart
the taehap's body isnt just his
take this twice a day
take it now
you cant do that
listen carefully nene
do you know what my wish is?
it's to race on a horse with my son in the vast continent i conquered
not with my nephew hidetsugu
but with my son
my son
your majesty
do you understand?
joseon?
wae invaded joseon?
yes
almost a month ago
your majesty are you really going to install consort li's son as the crown prince?
now what?
that's what the ministers want
you know what i want
i dont like changluo
all i care about is our son changxun
but the ministers
dont worry
if they keep insisting i just wont install a crown prince
i can keep putting it off
your majesty
it's okay
your majesty it's shi xing
not again
i'm very tired
come back later
did you hear that?
you should go
your majesty wae invaded joseon
you have to take measures
your majesty your majesty
i'm not deaf
stop yelling
what about joseon?
wae invaded joseon a month ago
i knew it
you did?
i told you before
i told you joseon was colluding with ming to attack us since they sent envoys
joseon explained that
it wasnt an explanation
it was an excuse to deceive us
joseon isnt a country without loyalty
did you receive a bribe from joseon?
why are you always siding with joseon?
it's not that
send an army right away and annihilate both countries
we dont have an army to send to joseon
we didnt suppress the uprising started by bobai yet
we dont have enough soldiers to send
what?
bobai hasnt been killed yet?
i thought he was already dead
they're continuing to attack the fortress but they dont have enough military rations
is that so?
i think you should send the lin shilu to joseon to find out more in detail
oh well
go ahead
thank you
your majesty all preparations are set
did the noble consort price sinseong and prince jeongwon all leave?
yes
lee hangbok will escort them well
please dont worry
your majesty
lee sanhae should be exiled here
councilor his sin might be great but he suggested royal refuge out of loyalty
we should bring him to pyeongyang
we should show some etiquette
i understand
escort the royal carriage
what are you doing?
what?
everyone left
i'm sorry i forgot to get ready Lee jangson(chief artillery officer)
get ready now
it's alright go ahead
i'll follow soon
look everyone left
how do you expect to pack all this by yourself?
hurry up and pack
i'm so sorry
give me the baggage and go ahead
listen
what i'm carrying isnt something someone else can carry
this isnt baggage
it's a treasure that will save our contry
dont treat it as baggage
the two of us are carrying the most precious treasures in the world
times might be difficult but we're the happiest people
sir
geumgyoyeok (Today's geumcheon-gun hwanghae-do)
your majesty i made some cinnamon tea
thank you
arent you disappointed with me?
how could i dare to be?
everything has a use and it is natural for that use to end one day
it's the same with me
your majesty i have one last request
what is it?
please dont abandon ryu seongryong
this tragedy resulted because we were focused on causes
for the people to live abundant lives and for the country to become powerful
you have to seek practical interests rather than causes
the reason i supported royal refuge was becuase of practical benefits
most of the ministers are sti obesessed with causes and justifications
but ryu seongryong is balancing causes and practical interest
he is necessary to overcome this national crisis
please dont take my request lightly since i will be leaving you
left jeolla naval headquarters
we dont have enough soldiers to defend our own area
we cant help the gyeongsang province
that's right
our area could be attacked if we leave it defenseless
there are not districts when it comes to defending against the war army
if we breack the brunt of the enemy we will be damaging them
that will result in defending our area too
that's right i agree (Song huirip)
make yourself strong before attacking the enemy
that's basic military strategy
forget about military strategy
our country is being plundered what's the use Jeong un (Myriarch of nokdo)
of only our area being safe?
think about our military power
there are different opinions
you'll have to go and decide
listen carefully Yi sunsin(commander of the left jeolla naval district)
the only area we are to defend is the joseon ocean
everyone prepare to go to battle

seonjo isnt happy that ryu seongryong interferes with everything when he was removed from office
the wae army in hanyang still doesnt make a move
