The Jingbirok a memoir of imjin war
you must be tired
i'm sure the people are having a harder time
i'm a sinner
what did you talk about his majesty?
i told him my use was over
councilor
i have a final request to make to you
go ahead
his majesty cant endure this crisis
not to return the country to his majesty but to the people fight
if it wasnt for this national crisis his majesty could have been an alright ruler
but i'm not sure anymore
i had many thoughts while we got this far
there are only two powers that can help overcome this crisis
one is the help of ming and the other is the people who will rise with loyalty
the person to be by their side isnt his majesty
it is you
so dont fall in despair because of his majesty
please take good care of this country
why do you speak as if it's over for you?
you have to be there with me next to the people
we have to raise them together
sir
thank you
it is the lord of pungwon
he took off his uniform
is he demonstrating because he was removed from office?
he wouldnt do that
he is realizing his sins and intends to fight in battle as a common person
your majesty i have one last request
please dont abandon ryu seongryong
let's go around
we're already a day behind
if we keep going around them when will we relay the order?
let's just charge right through
are you afraid?
then go around
yes i'm afraid
i'm afraid you'll die before you get a chance to take the national exam
i'm afraid of that
you're thinking about that when the country is in this situation?
i'll open up a path
take that shortcut and race off
will you be alright?
i ride a horse better
still be careful
you be careful too
cheonri
this is the sword i used when i took the national exam
give it to me when i take the exam
see you alive
hanyang
japanese camp at royal shrine
military rations will arrive from the main land soon
the feudal lords will take the rations to the designated areas
distribute the rice to the refugees and have them return home
yes sir
i'll be in charge of gyeonggi-do including hanyang
the next choice should go to the general who occupied hanyang first konishi
thank you
you cant do that
the second division scouts occupied hanyang a day before them
there is a report bu them
you can check
kato
dont force it
arent you ashamed in front of your subordinates?
what did you say?
you removed the boats and interfered with the second division from advancing
stop it
what's more important is whose main army entered first
the first division did that so it is konishi's victory
ukita
kuroda mori
what do you think?
the first division won (Kuroda nagamasa)
i think so too (Mori yoshinari)
i will go to pyeongan-do
kato
it's obvious
hamyeong-do
fine
but i'll take the same route as konishi up to gaeseong
you want to after the joseon king together?
it's a waste of military power for the first and second divisions to move together
it's foolish to leave gangwon-do empty
stop
fine
do as kato wants
the fourth division will take gangwon-do
yes sir
konishi kato
it's nice to show a fighting spirit but if your fight for merit damages our army
i wont forgive you
the surveillants sent by the taehap are watching every move
so be particularly careful
understood?
yes sir
how did it go?
thanks to you i got the message to lee gwang without ant problems
he should be heading to where the royal carriage is about now
good job
that's good
cheonri
cheonri cheonri cheonri
lee cheonri
government building in hangju Hwanghae-do
prepare a royal meal
what's going on?
a general of the army surrendered with 3000 soldiers
we received a report from kim su the governor of gyeongsang
kill sayaka and display his head
you have to do that right now
the wae army advanced without stopping but it hasnt moved for 3 days since
it occupied hanyang
they must be up to something
please dont be deceived
i agree with the councilor
there might be another plan
most of all if the leader of the enemy and his soldiers are killed and their heads are displayed
it could enhance the morale of our army
you have to be prudent
if they truly surrendered we could gain much information about the wae army
that makes sense too
it's important to undermine the enemy's morale but we dont know how many there are
in number or how they are organized
we dont know anything about the enemy
it would be of great help if we could lean more through the soldiers who surrendered
they threatened us and lied to us for a long time
how are we to trust them?
we can be prepared against enemies outside but we'll be helpless against enemies within
his majesty is right crown prince
besides why would wae soldiers surrender at a time like this?
your majesty dont trust them
execute them right away
did you hear that?
everyone wants them to be executed send a liason officer right away
and excute sayaka and the soldiers
you cant do that
ryu seongryong?
yes your majesty
open the door
why do you keep lingering here?
you should repent if you were removed from office
i know i should repent
i dared to listen because this was an imporatnt matter
why are you against executing them?
because of matchlocks
it's no exaggeration to say they advanced to hanyang so quickly because of
the matchlock unit
so?
sayaka brought dozens of matchlocks
we have to make such a weapon or fight them with the same matchlocks
if we can learn how to make them and use them through sayaka
it would be like gaining hundreds of thousands of soldiers
how can we know if they truly surrendered?
he surrendered to the gyeongsang governor
order the choyusa kim seongil to loock into the matter
if they truly surrendered you can put them in the lead when the wae soldiers in the area attack
that will clear up any suspicions
the crown prince has a good idea
you should do that
any other ideas?
councilor
they dont seem to have such a bad idea
you should try it
understood
like the lord of pungwon suggested have kim su and kim sengil accept sayaka
and look into the matter
thank you your majesty
left jeolla naval headquarters
we will have a final training at mijohang then dock at sobipo fro rest
we will join commander won gyun in dangpo
the next day and head to okpo
did you decide on a strategy? jeong un(myriarch of nokdo)
we will mainatin a formation and use a small boat to lore the enemy vessels
to within 1km
if we can just get them within 1 km we can destroy them with our jija chongtong
guns and hyeonja chongtong guns
750m
ignite
1km
ignite
i can see the enemies drowning
general
general the commander of the right district lee ekogi isnt joining us
did you send word?
yes but there is no reply
i think he only intends on defending the right district
there are fifty enemy vessels
we haev twenty-four ships
the enemy probably reached hanyang
we cant just sit around
we should go to battle
i didnt wait because i was afraid of the enemy
i wanted to give a chance to the commander of the right district to achieve merit too
let's go
the rations distribution route was cut off?
what are you talking about?
our vessels that went back and forth between okpo happo and jeokjinpo
were annihilated by an attack from the joseon naval forces
supply ships from the main land were among them
annihilated?
there are naval forces left in joseon?
the gyeongsang naval forces were almost all annihilated
but the jeolla naval forces attacked
who is the leader of the jeolla naval forces?
yi sunsin
yi sunsin?
have you heard of him?
well
according to a scout report there was no such name
he must be a newly appointed rookie
our forces must not have expected an attack from another area
they were attacked because they let down their guard
that will be a problem with military rations
how much do we have left?
we dont have plenty since we've been giving rice away
stop distributing the rice
yes sir
there is a more serious problem
what is it?
there is a report that an army of over 50000 soldiers is headed north
over 50000?
where did all those soldiers appear from?
they gathered 40000 soldiers in jeolla an area we havent occupied yet
you should have listened when i said we should advance to jeolla first
we would have occupied it by now and wouldnt have any problems with military rations
the problem is other soldiers are continuing to join them along the way
by the time they reach hanyang they could be 60000 in number
and
is there more?
there are over 10000 soldiers across imjingang
are we going to be surrendered?
konishi kato
what should we do?
what can we do?
i would just sit around and wait
we could be attacked from top and bottom
we should attack first
we should do that
divide our forces
one to attack the joseon army in the north and other to stop the joseon army
that is headed north
fine
send patrols to each area and check out their movement
be prepared to go to battle right away when the order is given
is that understood?
yes sir
choose about a hundred quick men and send them as patrols
check out the geography of the imjingang area and the situation of the joseon army?
that's the official reason
what's more important is to find out where the king of joseon is after
we occupy the imjingang area
we have to capture him first
understood
king's temporary quarters in pyeongyang
how far did the wae army get?
the man who seems to be the leader arrived in the capital
but there is no movement to head north yet
there is no movement
their army was damaged quite a bit while fighting against our army
they are probably reorganizing
how many do we have in number?
50000 soldiers from the three provinces led by lee gwang kim su and yun seongak are headed north
the 7000 soldiers led by the supreme field commander
who defended hanyang and the 5000 soldiers led by the yudodaejang are also headed to pyeongyang
there are 1000 soldiers of pyeongan-do and 2000 soldiers of hwanghae-do
right here in pyeongyang so we have at least 70000
70000
that's not a small number
yes your majesty
we have enough military power to fight
what about military rations?
we have about 40000 sacks
did you say 40000 sacks?
yes
after receiving your order to have the royal carriage greeted we had all the crops nearby moved here
we sent word to the distant regions to send rations to pyeongyang
they should be arriving soon
good good
what do you think councilor?
isnt it worth a fight?
yes your majesty
pyeongyangseong is like a steel fortress
we should be able to stop the enemy
have everyone gather
i didnt know the country was in danger
i left the capital because of a sudden attack by wae
public sentiments were lost and the country is at the edge of a cliff
i have to pay for that with death
pyeongyangseong will be the last line of defense
i will bury my bones here
you made a courageous decision
your majesty you are this counyry
we are still in danger
you cant take action yourself
please take care of yourself
i installed a crown prince
why should i worry about anything?
we didnt have a chance until now
let the entire country know that a crown prince has been installed
that being done i will fight in battle myself
release all criminals except for traitors and exempt crop taxes
we have to comfort the people
thank you your majesty
remove my eulogistic posthmous title
that is a title to commemorate your great merits
why do you want to remove that?
i allowed wae to trample us
how could i dare to have a title?
remove it
i will not return to the capital until i defeat the enemy and get revenge for our people
thank you your majesty
your majesty please be strong
he will call you again
please be safe
an old man like me shouldn't return
young people like you should lead the country now
we need experienced people for restoration after the war
restoration
sure
the war will end some day
this country has to be restored
do you know what is most necessary for restoration?
this is what the court ministers will say
military power has to be enchanced to prevent another attack
someone else will want to increase food supplies since the country has to be abundant
someone else will want policy reform
all that depends on having the right person for the job
everyone knows the right answer but there arent many who can solve
problems in a wise manner
talented people who wont harm the livelihoods of the people and
lead the court in harmony
talented people who will enhance military power increase food supplies and
lead in policy reform
they are the treasures of this country and the founation of restoration
dont be tied down by social status and look carefully
i will remember that
i know you were hurt that i followed seoae once in a while
please forgive me
listen
do you know why i wanted you as my son-in-law?
because you were like that
i would have abandoned you if you just followed me because i was your father-in-law
i'm very proud that lee deokhyeong is my son-in-law
father
i dont want to show my back to you so dont come out
father
lee sanhae was the leader of the easterners and lived admist political turmoil
but he know how to keep public and private affairs separate and
was good at discovering talent
he was removed from office during war and left the court
regarding lee sanhae seonjo said a lump of true qi was in his heart and he felt respect for him
your majesty kim myeongwon and his soldiers will arrive in pyeongyang soon
tell him he doesnt have to come to pyeongyang
have him set up a defense line at imjingang and defeat the enemies that head north
wait
i cant let a general who failed in defending hangang defend imjingang
right?
he probably has no choice but to retreat since our army was too small to fight
the large wae army
it wasnt because he was afraid?
let's do this
han eungin went to ming as an envoy
give him control of the army and have him defend imjingang
he is younger than kim myeongwon so he will make better judgments
the order of command wont be unified
then have han eungin take over in emergency situations
yes your majesty
what?
i'm supposed to take orders from han eungin? Kim myeongwon(supreme field commander)
in emergency situations
i dont care
i cant take orders from someone who is much younger
it is to take responsibility for not being able to defend hangang
it's all because of shin gak
if he obeyed my order we could have made a counterattack
did you send a message telling him to return to camp?
yes
Ooh
shin gak's camp yangju gyeonggi-do
general
this is a letter from general kim myeongwon
he wants me to return
what will you do?
you saw what he did at hangang Shin gak(deputy supreme field commander)
i will not fight with a cowardly general who shows his back to the enemy
shin gak will not return to a camp led by someone who has (Kim myeongwon's camp imjingang)
no intention of fighting
i will die here fighting against the wae army
he really
it's insubrodination
he should be punished
send a message
if he doesnt return right away he will be excuted for insubrodination
yes sir
i was appointed as the supreme mobile inspector Han eungin(supreme mobile inspector)
i'm to take command in emergency situations
i heard
but i've been in command for a long time
i'm still the supreme field commander
why am i to receive orders from a mobile inspector?
that cant be
if you want to ask why ask his majesty
did shin gak return?
you cant even control the deputy commander
you call yourself the supreme commander?
no wonder his majesty doesnt trust you
look here
shin gak
general soldiers who look like patrols are headed this way
how many?
it looked like there are about a hundred
wait in ambush
yes sir
attack
collect their heads and send them to his majesty
yes sir
this is kim myeongwon reporting
the deputy commander shin gak should return to my camp after failing to defend hangang
but he is refusing to do so
i insisted that he return since it was your order but he has no intention of fighting
and he is in hiding
there is nothing i can do about that
shin gak is acting in a arrogant manner
show him how strict military law is
set military discipline straight and overcome this national crisis
shin gak
did you know about shin gak?
yes but kim myeongwon and lee yangwon are giving different reports
according to lee yangwon shin gak considers kim myeongwon's order to be unjust
that is the problem
we are at war
whether an order is right or not a superior's order should be followed
what will happen to the order if people dont obey orders just because they're not happu with them?
we're losing all the time because there is no discipline
i will cut off shin gak's head and use him as an example so nobody disobeys an order again
your majesty
shin gak?
as far as i know he is a man of loyalty
if he didnt obey an order there must have been a reason
his majesty gave an order to execute him
what are you talking about?
he cant do that
he is an able general
besides the matter hasnt even been investigated
i tried to stop him
let's go and see his majesty
the liaison officer already left
we have to stop him
lord
we have news of a victory
it's the first news of a victory
where?
shin gak annihilated the enemy at haeyuryeong yangju
he sent the heads of the enemy soldiers
what's wrong?
hurry send another liaison officer
send one right now
do not execute shin gak
i am going to execute shin gak for military discipline
the soldiers will all return to kim myeongwon's camp
did his majesty see the heads of the enemy soldiers?
i dont know
he must have seen them by now
please wait a little while
it's an order to execute him right away
i said wait a little while
it is a sin to leave a coward and kill the enemy soldiers?
if you kill him we will kill you too
step back
general
forget it this is my fate
i died in battle fighting against the wae army
sir
go ahead and kill me
i'm sorry
nagoya
maeda can i take back that move?
baduk is a battle too
are you going to return joseon land after you occupy it?
come on just one move
then have the soldiers in joseon take back a move
i wont play
your majesty
our naval forces in okpo happo and jeokjinpo were annihilated by the joseon naval forces
what?
what fools
the military rations headed to hanyang were also lost
is there a general left in joseon to fight against us?
who is it?
someone named yi sunsin
yi sunsin?
ishida
yes
go to joseon right away and bring me yi sunsin's head
if we cant kill him and stop the joseon naval forces our supply route will be cut off
then it will be over
over
your majesty forget about shin gak
it's truly unfortunate but you cant linger over that
i know
i'm trying to calm myself
i will defeat the enemy to repay shin gak
yes your majesty
the people trust you
let them know your intention and comfort the people
dongdong i'm going to need more pine cones and pine needles
gee
hungry people picked everything that was left
there arent even any traces of pine needles
i'm sorry
i wont let you suffer again
i promise you
you will be able to return home when we achieve a virtory at imjingang
do you mean that?
yes your can believe that
i will defeat the wae army and return to the capital with you
hurray for his majesty
hurray hurray hurray
your majesty you can give the people false hope
why are you so sure of a victory at imjingang?
a battle isnt just fought with numbers
if you fight in this condition you will lose the battle at imjingang
are you trying to lecture me again?
