The Jingbirok a memoir of imjin war
your majesty you cant 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?
your majesty the foundation of the army is in military order and discipline
but if you give the control to both kim myeongwon and han eungin how can military order be set straight?
there is now way the officers and soldiers who served kim myeongwon for a long time
are going to take orders from han eungin who is young and inexperienced
am i trust kim myeongwon who fled from hangang without a fight?
if you appoint lee yangwon as the supreme commander and put kim myeongwon and han eungin under his control
stop it
what do you think of me?
if public sentiments are to be renewed and the morale of the army is to be enhanced
there has to be new generals
kim myeongwon and lee yangwon fled
who is going to take orders from them?
wait and see
you will see you are wrong
if you were removed from office keep quiet
why do you keep interfering?
you're making his majesty feel uncomfortable
did you want to see me?
do you have complete control of kim myeongwon and the soldiers?
it's a royal order they have to obey (Han eungin)
there are a lot of people who think you will not be able to control them
if anyone is insubordinate execute him and set military order straight
yes your majesty
execute anyone who flees too
if the enemy gives you any room attack first without hesitation
imjingang has to be defended
no matter what you must achieve a victory
yse your majesty
what's wrong with you?
oh no
what's wrong with your child?
sir please help my baby
are you alright?
doctor is there a doctor?
i'll take a look
oh you never saw her
she was always in the kitchen
it looks like she has acute gastroenteritis
when did the symptoms start to show?
last night
here ah
what is that?
it's sap from a yellow lacquer tree
it's good for acute gastroenteritis
how do you know that?
she ran a tavern because she had to make money
but she grew up under a famous doctor
stop it
thank you
this place needs doctors
i'm not a doctor i learned over the shoulder by watching my father
i can only provide temporary relief
are you alright?
thank you thank you
sir
we're back
i'm glad you're back
i thought something happened since i didnt hear from you
cheonri what happened to your arm?
a bullet grazed me
it stung a bit at first but it doesnt hurt at all
please dont worry
you were hit by a bullet?
that was close
i'm alright really
oh i'm in so much pain
what will we do?
i'm dying
oh no
it's killing me
how did this happen?
hanyang kato kiyomasa's camp
what?the patrol unit was annihilated?
yes sir
they are elite soldiers
how can they be annihilated?
they were ambushed in haeyuryeong yangju
Ooh
koichi
give an order for a full attack
sir we need approval from the commander
forget about that
i'll deal with him get ready right now
yse sir
according to the patrol unit the soldiers led by lee gwang are
headed towards gongju
with the soldiers from chungcheong-do and gyeongsangdo there are close to 50000
we overlooked jeolla-do
what is it?
the second division is going to head to imjingang right away
what are you talking about?
the enemy is coming up from the south
wait until a strategy is planned
the patrol unit that went north was totally annihilated
what?
they must have been pathetic to have been annihiated by joseon soldiers
you want to go to battle for revenge?
a general shouldnt be so lame
konishi
he's not wrong
you cant move out of revenge
the fact that the patrol unit was killed means the joseon army reorganized
if they arrive here and
the soldiers in the south arrive in hanyang
we will be completely surrounded
i will go north and attack first
kato is making sense too
what do you think?
then the first division will go with him
what?
i thought you said we had to have a fair competition in capturing the king
the japanese army that was in hanyang headed to imjingang
13000 soldiers led by han eungin and kimmyeongwon were already camped north of imjingang
50000 soldiers of the royal forces led by lee gwang were also marching toward hanyang
the battle at imjingang was an important opportunity to stop the japanese army
from heading north and turn the tables
imjingang joseon army camp
the enemy doesnt have boats
they wont be able to cross easily
if we defend from the upper stream to the lower stream
they will become anxious and try to make a reckless attack by making rafts
if we attack with arrows and cannonballs we could drown them in the river
are you saying we should wait until the enemy attacks us?
they are exhausted from travelling far
if we attack first when they try to set up camp
they wont be in proper formation
they wont expect us to attack first
what do you know? (Lee gak)
if we attack first we have to take the risk of crossing the river too
it's just as easy for us to be drowned
listen to the supreme field commander
stay in position and wait
if you're so good at planning strategies why did you flee from dongnaeseong?
look here
how dare you?
i didnt flee out of fear
i retreated to make better plans
do you think i wanted to retreat?
i dont want to hear pathetic excuses
everyone here is a general who lost
listen carefully
you can command your units but i'm in command here
obey my orders
fine
i'm not going to have my soldiers annihilated by following a general without any battle experience
it would be better for me to leave and escort the royal carriage
are you being insubordinate?
his majesty gave a royal order saying anyone who is insubordinate may be executed
i will meet him in person and request that he withdraw that foolish order
what?
who else is going to be insubordinate?
what?han eungin killed lee gak?
yes
do you know why his majesty is insisting on han eungin?
it's because you were against it
what are you talking about?
you really dont know?
if yun dusu agreed with you his majesty would have followed
he doesnt want you to be right even if you are
that's excessive speculation
even if his majesty isnt happy with him he wouldnt go that far in a battle situation
he would
his majesty wants to show that he was right and ryu seongryong was wrong
stop it
no now that i think about it he's not completely wrong
i should have had you tell his majesty
i really hope i was wrong and his majesty was right
sir
come in
kim seongil sent a letter from gyeongsang-do
kim seongil?
yes
this must be a stroke of good luck admist misfortune
what does it say?
gwak jaeu raised a righteous troop in uiryeong
really?
he is a student of nam myeong's
i heard he had a loyal spirit
righteous troops will be raised around the nation now
we have hope
kim chungseon
now do you believe me?
thank you for the good information (gwak jaeu)
understand we couldnt just take your word
i'm proud of you! is anyone hurt?
no sir
they're no big deal (sim daeseung)
gather their heads and military rations
yes sir
i never held a high position
i'm gwak jaeu of uiryeong
i didnt have a government position but i couldnt stand to watch
our land where our ancestors are buried be plundered by wae
i picked up a sword instead of a brush
loyal men of joseon listen
the royal family and court took refuge to avoid the wae army but if we hide too
our land will be taken by wae
our children will become thier slaves
instead of living such a pathetic life how about fighting the wae army with me
for taking us lightly?
let's fight against wae
let's fight! let's fight
go on
mother
are you scared?
it's not that what about you?
do you want me to become their slave?
go on right now
i'm really going to go
go on
be sure to stay alive
i'm going to kill them all
good i'll stay alive until you return
i'm leaving
okay let's go
let's go
nagoya
your majesty our army occupied hanyang
yeah?who?
who won?
konishi or kato?
it's a bit strange
what's strange?
according to the report by the surveillants konishi and kato entered hanyang
on the same day may 3
konishi entered a bit sooner
but according to kato's report it says he entered a day before konishi
then kato won?
he's simple-minded he cant lie
your majesty
tell the surveillants to report properly
yes your majesty
what about the king of joseon?
has he been captured?
he fled north
what?the king abandoned the capital and fled?
what about damage to our army?
7000-8000 died from the first division and the second division lost about 4000
the first division suffered a lot
konishi cant be too comfortable since he lost a lot of his soldiers
are they chasing the king of joseon?
yes they're going to advance north to imjingang soon
konishi went you a war trophy
what?
it is a map of joseon
i can see all of joseon at a glance
maeda joseon is finally in my hands joseon
congratulations your majesty
ishida go to joseon right away
go and tell them
tell them to capture the king of joseon and bring me the head of yi sunsin
and bring me the head of yi sunsin the man who annihlated our naval forces
yes your majesty
tell them to build a fortress in hanyang for me to stay
understood your majesty
maeda i'm going
i'm going to joseon
your majesty
i thought about it
my mother is too old
i dont know when she will die
she will be happy to see the country across the ocean that i conquered
she suffered all her life raising me
i should be a good son
on may 14 1592 the japanese army camped south of imjingang
the japanese army under kato kiyomasa had about 23000 soldiers and the joseon army under kim myeongwon
had 13000 soldiers
but imjingang was deep and the boats to cross were tied up
on the northern riverside by the joseon army
the japanese army couldnt attack
they had a confrontation for 5 days
general
the wae army arrived
what?
the king's temporary quarters in pyeongyang
your majesty
welcome
your majesty please kill me for not being able to stop a war
no no
it's because i was lacking
i should have listened to your advice
it's not too late
i will be your shield
i wil block the enemy's arrows and be your sword and spear
i will kill them
please be strong
thank you i will not abandon you again
your majesty
did you want to see me?
where are the royal forces of the three provinces?
they passed gongju
they should arrive south of hangang soon
is that so?
if the royal forces of 50000 attack the wae soldiers in hangang
the soldiers at imjingang will go to help
that's right if the wae army in hanyang is defeated they know that they will be surrounded by us
from the north and south
they will retreat to hanyang
it will be the best time to attack when they retreat from imjingang
that's what i think too
this is an opportunity given by heaven
we must annihilate them
yes your majesty
there is a ray of hope
its your blessing
i trust you but please be prudent
the fate of joseon is in your hands
dont worry his majesty's royal carriage will trample over their corpses when
he returns to the capital soon
imjingang kato kiyomasa's camp
What?you want me to retreat?
what nosense is this?
the prey is right in front of us
we cant cross without boats
i'm going to send a letter saying we wont attack if they lend us a path to ming
and ask them to surrender
they wont listen if your army is if formation right in front of them
have them temporarily retreat about 40km
you only think about deals even during battle
i'm not like you
i dont make deals with the enemy
if you want to retreat go ahed
dont you know we'll lack military rations in the confrontation lasts long?
i'm trying to minimize damage
fine if you wont listen to me i'll report to ukita and receive an order from him
just a minute
i'll concede this time
but i wont wait for long
neither will i
general are you really going to have the soldiers retreat?
we dont have any boats anyway
this is good
pretend to lose and lure the enemy
prepare everyone to retreat and secretly have soldiers ambushed where the enemy might pursue us
yes sir
imjingang joseon army camp
what?they want a path to ming?
send a reply right away
tell them we'll fight
yes sir
they wont have many rations left by now
we could defeat them
yes when we have the chance we have to sweep them away and turn the tables
sir
the enemy is secretly retreating
what?is that true?
yes the patrol unit confirmed
they pretended to negotiate so they could buy time to covertly retreat
this is a golden opportunity
prepare to pursue the enemy
wait we have to be prudent what are you talking about?
it could be a strategy to lure us
they are retreating to stop our royal forces that are headed to hanyang
if we miss the timing it will be difficult to recover hanyang
let's wait a little while
there was a royal order to attack when there was a chance
do you want to be imsubordinate and end up like lee gak?
prepare to go to battle
yes sir
general
the joseona army crossed the river and is pursuing us
what?
do you know that they say in this situation?
the rabit is entering the tiger's mouth
it's time prepare for battle
prepare for battle
commander
what happened?
it was a trap
it was a strategy to lure us
what about the soldiers?
about a thousand of them fled
commander shin hal and general yu geukryang all died in battle
i had a strange feeling
i told everyone to retreat
what will we do?
has heaven abandoned us?
what will we do now?
do we have to take refuge north again?
sir
sir come to king's temporary quarters
there are a bunch of reports but the ministers are all in meeting with his majesty
there isnt anyone to discuss them with
why bother reading the reports?
they will only be full of news that our soldiers are defeated
i told him to be careful
i said he had to ahieve a victory
how can 13000 soldiers die in such vain?
your majesty han eungin and kim myeongwon should be held responsible and be executed
for moving lightly
do that
a defeat for a general is a stumble to prevent a fall
shin gak fled but he achieved a victory too
we should give them another chance to fight for their lives
how can you be so unfair?
you ignored it when shin gak was executed even with a victory
you want to forgive generals who were defeated in a battle that will decide
the fate of our nation?
han eungin might have been defeated by fleeing
he might have been a bit anxious to recklessly pursue the enemy
but we cant punish him when he didnt feat the enemy
12000 soldiers died because one general made a wrong decision
stop it just stop
that's not the problem right now
the imjingang defense line fell
this place isnt safe anymore
we have to take further refuge
your majesty we cant do that
if we let them take pyeongyang the only place for the royal carriage is the border area of the north
we cant defend the enemy like that
since we couldnt defend imjingang the wae army will advance to
daedonggang without any problem
his majesty will be in danger if he continues to stay here
we have to find a place for him to take refuge
listen
if you returned to court you should think about fighting
why are you thinking about feeling first?
we still have 50000 soldiers led by lee gwang
we have daedonggang if we dont make a rash attack first and focus on defending the fortress
we will have a chance to counterattack with lee gwang
you must not abandon pyeongyang
when will lee gwang come to pyeongyang?
how many soldiers are left in pyeongyang?
about 3000
can this place be defended with that number?
why cant you face reality?
where is your spirit that should fight to stop the wae army?
did an empty shell return?
hey
your majesty it's ryu seongryong
open the door
did you come to see how upset i am since you were right about imjingang?
your majesty
you were right you were right
are you happy now?
your majesty why are you saying that?
he only came with me to give you good news about defending pyeongyang
lee chunran of gaecheon jeolla-do sent 4000 sacks of crops
4000 sacks?
yi sunsin discovered 50 enemy vessels at okpo
he sank twenty-six of them
he also sank six at happo and eleven at jeokjinpo
the enemy's supply route to gyeongsang-do has been cut off
is this true?
bring me the reports
your majesty this is yi sunsin reporting
on may 7 i discovered fifty enemy vessels moored at okpo
May 7 1592
admiral we'll reach okpo soon
as i told you the fleet that occupied okpo consists of fifty vessels
they must know okpo is the way to reach jeolla and chungcheong
if we surround the inlet they will rush to get out to the ocean
spread out wide and attack
yes sir
japanese camp at okpo Geojedo
sir
dozens of joseon vessels are headed for the inlet
what? (Doko Takatora)
board the ships and prepare for battle
yes sir
admiral
spread out in a straight line
battle formations battle formations
it's too late
we'll run into enemy vessels before that
Ooh...Ooh
keep going
we have to break through and get to the ocean no matter what
we should attack
dont act rash
stay calm stay very calm
prepare for battle prepare for battle
a little more a little more
now fire
battle formations
break through and advance
sir
we've been annihilated
what is the name of the enemy leader?
yi sunsin
yi sunsin yi sunsin
i will pay him back for this humiliation
it's a huge victory
this is just the beginning
their end will be even more tragic
what is the damage to us?
nore of our vessels were damaged
not one soldier was injured
it's regrettable that the leader's vessel is fleeing
should we go after him?
no
the enemy leader is dodo takatora?
yes sir
he will soon realize that surviving is more sufferable than dying
