The Jingbirok a memoir of imjin war
is this news of victory true?
i was so thirsty for such news
yes your majesty
your majesty if yi sunsin blocked the ocean
the enemy's distribution route has been cut off and a counterattack has begun
heaven is helping us
please remain strong in body and mind
please remain strong
i knew yi sunsin could do it
appointing people without regard to rank was the right thing to do
i'm proud of him i'm so proud of him
your majesty you should reward him greatly
of course
normally i would call him hold his hand and pour him a drink
it's too bad that i cant do that
appoint him as the gaseondaebu
busan
welcome ishida
let's go in
we've occupied up to imjingang
so we just have to cross daedonggang and occupy pyeongyangseong
where the king of joseon is?
that's right
the king of joseon has to fight there instead of fleeing
what about the soldiers from jeolla-do?
there about 50000
50000 50000
ukita has to stop them
50000 joseon soldiers are headed up toward yongin?
yes sir
okay you can go
i will try to stop them
you're in charge of the naval forces
you brought supplies and rations here
you should get some rest
no give me a chance to achieve merit
i might be in charge of the naval forces (Wakizaka yasuharu)
but i'm one of the seven generals who achieve merit at the battle of shizugatake
what strategy will you use to stop them?
i will set up a defense line at bukdumunsan and munsosan and wait for the enemy to attack
i will focus on defense and go down the vally and raid them when
the enemy takes a break from attacking
how is that?
the enemy's army was formed in haste
they will disperse when raided
fine i will trust you
thank you
yongin joseon army camp
the enemy set up a defense line at bukdumunsan and munsosan(Lee gwang)
if they are about a thousand in number as the patrol unit said (Kim su)
wouldnt it be better to attack them first before a larger army arrives?
i agree
you cant move rashly
what are you talking about?
achieving one victory isnt important
the enemy is using the geography of the mountains
it's not easy to attack an enemy from below a mountain
we should defend our camp (Gwon yul)
we have to check out the situation and avoid a fight as much as we can
so we can go to pyeongyang and join the larger army
its important that we do that and plan a strategy for a counterattack
look here
the enemy has to be disprited in the beginning
we are a large army and there are only a thousand of them
this is a great chance
thats right
we might be a large army but most of them are people
who were recruited suddenly
we are at a disadvantage geographically
it will be hard for ten of our men to figth one wae soldier
people get older with age
you seem to scare more than i thought
if that's what you think stay out of it
prepare for battle
you cant take what i say lightly
king's temporary quarters in pyeongyang
the royal forces led by lee gwang were raided and annihilated
did you say annihilated?
there are over 50000 of them
how can this be?
they were raided at the foot of a mountain
their formation was ruined
but dont worry too much
the men led by gwon yul and hwang jin barely retreated
they are reorganizing the army
they should be able to gather the men who dispersed
when will they reorganize?
i trusted those royal forces
at this rate pyeongyangseong wont be safe anymore
we should leave again
it's too early to speak of royal refuge again
before that ask ming for reinforcements
reinforcements?
you cant do that
why not?
would they help without any conditions?
in return they will want control of the joseon army
after the war they will interfere with our domestic affairs too
we have to clutch at straws right now
there arent any royal forcse to come and there are only about 3000 soldiers
defending pyeongyangseong
if reinforcements come from ming we wont be able to turn things back
besides in the current situation we dont have military rations even if
reinforcements come
we have about 100000 sacks of rations at pyeongyangseong
if we attack the enemy quickly with the help of reinforcements
we should be able to minimize any harmful effects
listen
if we stay out of war on our land and ming and wae fight there wont be anything left
even if the war ends
stop stop it
discuss this matter with the border defense council
it's an urgent situation
ask the lord of pungwon to attend a meeting of the border defense council
understood
i'm against asking ming for reinforcements
we couldnt face our descendants if
we couldnt stop an enemy that invades us
that's right
ming is busy suppressing a rebellion
would they have soldiers to send even if we asked for reinforcements?
it's like trying to borrow money from a person in debt
we will just be embarrassed
it's a problem even if they come
the soldiers will come from yodong
think about the damage those violent soldiers will cause
we cant ask for reinforcements
if we cant stop the enemy on our own it wouldnt be a bad idea to join forces
with ming to deal with the problems at hand
ming will demand a lot in return for
saving joseon
that's right
despite that we haev to ask for reinforcements
lord
i have the same concerns as you
it would be great if we could stop the enemy on our own
i know you dont want to but we have to accept this tragic reality
we wouldnt be relying on ming completely
i'm just saying we should use them
the royal forces were annihilated if we cant do it on our own
its a strategy to ask ming for reinforcements
it's weak to think we cant do it on our own
that is the problem
our naval forces blocked off the ocean and cut off the enemy's distribution route
they wont have enough rations and the soldiers will be exhausted
our soldiers lost but with all the battles so far we damaged the enemy quite a bit
isnt it worth a try to fight for our lives on our own?
if we have reinforcements we could end this war even faster
i really want to overcome this crisis on our own too
but its a truly urgent situation
if the war lasts a long time it is our people who will die
we cant focus on cause and justification
we cant ask for reinforcements
we have to do this on our own
councilor
lord
did you want to see me?
you agree on asking ming for reinforcements?
yes your majesty
good use of them could end this war
that would be nice
lord
yes your majesty
we became distanced didnt we?
yes your majesty
i'd like to give you a task
will you accept it?
i could do anything for our country
sure you would do anything for our country
a military administrator named lin shilu is here from ming to check out the situation
convince him to send reinforcements
i will do what i can
let me be direct
i dont understand it at all
how can they occupy hanyang in less than a month?
is joseon colluding with wae to head north and attack ming? (Lin shilu)
of course not
we arent colluding with wae
there is a rumor in ming that the king in pyeongyang is fake and
the real king is watching the situation
id hiding somewhere else
how can you believe such a ridiculous rumor?
stand up
i shouldnt clear up a misunderstanding from such a false rumor with just words
i will show you
wangseongtan rapids of daedonggang
there arent any enemies
we will walk across the river
we can walk across the river?
yes the river is narrow here and it isnt deep
this in the only place where you can cross on foot
a native of this area told me about it
the enemy doesnt know
let's go
who's there?
sir go ahead
now do you believe me?
what you just saw is only a part of the army
there are over 150000 in total
this is an urgent situation
if reinforcements dont come from ming wae might continue to advance north al the way to yodong
if you dont have lips your teeth will be cold
without joseon the safety of ming cant be guaranteed
fine i will report to his majesty
thank you i would be nice if a large army came from ming
but if the situation doesnt allow for that at least send the soldiers of yodong
as soon as you can
near jeongamjin dock of namgang in uiryeong gyeongsang-do
only mark firm land so our horses can cross
yes sir
stakes? (Sim Daeseung)
their army is about to move
they're marking the marsh areas
their distribution route was cut off at the ocean
they're going to cross the river and attack jeolla-do since it's a grain belt
if they secure military rations in jeolla-do it will be like getting wings
we have to stop them from advancing
daeseung prepare ten quick men
okay
dont leave any traces of the stakes
move them to spots where they will sink
when they get stuck they'll become porcupines from the arrows our men shoot
find a place to wait in ambush
understood
hanyang japanese army camp
general the unit of ekei that headed to jeolla-do was annihilated by righteous troops led by gwak jaeu
what?who is gwak jaeu?
and what are righteous troops?
does anyone know?
i never heard of righteous troops
righteous troops?
is there such an army in joseon?
who are they?
find out now
yes sir
your majesty are you going to ask ming for reinforcements?
our country is like a candle in the wind
please abide by my wishes
your majesty
will a ming army come?
if wae cant be stopped in joseon ming will become a battleground too
they know that
they will send reinforcements
when will they come?
i asked for soldiers in yodong for now
we should receive word soon
no matter how quickly they come they cant come faster than the enemy
that is camped across daedonggang
i want to leave pyeongyang tomorrow
your majesty you cant do that
despite my concerns you asked ming for reinforcements
wasnt that to fight against the enemy?
i will fight when reinforcements arrive
but i cant sit around and wait for them when the enemy is right in front of us
your majesty i'm afraid the people will hear and waver
please wait a few days
the ming envoy will report and send reinforcements soon
we dont know what could happen in those few days
if his majesty didnt leave the capital
he could have died or been captured by the wae army
this is an urgent situation
it wouldnt be a bad idea to take refuge and plan for the future
minister
there is a line from a poem by wen tianxiang of song
i'm going to cut off the head of a treacherous subject
councilor
are you threatening me?
you've changed you've changed too much
hey
stop it
pyeongyang is different from the capital
public sentiments were lost and there werent any soldiers or people to defend the capital
but public sentiments are strong in pyeongyang
this is like a fortress
one soldiers could defeat a thousand
please consider that
your majesty please consider that
fine i'll think about it
your majesty lee deokhyeong is here
show him in
your majesty wae sent a letter to me
they want to have the talks we didnt have in chungju
talks?
why isnt konishi yukinaga here?
he left everything to me
you never know about the future
we met as friends before but we're meeting as enemies today
you're the ones who started the war
japan doesnt want to go to war with joseon
if joseon helped japan pay tribure to ming
a war wouldnt have broken out in joseon
stop it if you just wanted to pay tribute
it would have been faster to send silver to the emperor
tell me the truth
japan wants to attack ming not joseon
open up a path for us to get to ming
i cant believe that either
joseon isnt the only way to ming
you can reach ming by ocean
be honest
it's the truth
fine than can you have your soldiers retreat outside of joseon?
then i will ask his majesty
i cant do that right now
didnt you just say you didnt want to go to war with joseon?
the wae already started
there has to be a reason to stop
open up a path to ming
if the japanese army enters ming the war will naturally end
you are really brazen
you started the war at will and now you want reason to end it?
the war started because joseon didnt lend a path
are you saying this war is joseon's fault?
listen carefully
joseon will never lend a path to ming
joseon and ming are really close
we have no reason to lend a path to the enemy
i guess there cant be any talk of peace
why do you keep wanting to negotiate with ridiculous suggestions?
i wonder what you're up to
are you facing difficulty because your distribution route was cut off and you have casualties and people
who are going AWOL like sayaka?
are you trying to stall for time?
go ahead and try
your men will become lonely souls that have nowhere to go
joseon will be fine if we just lend a path to ming?
what a strange threat
they are trying to occupy joseon by using the excuse of attacking ming
they have clearly showed their intentions
i should leave pyeongyang right now
your majesty
the peace talks didnt go well
the enemy will attack soon
move the ancestral tablets and have the crown prince and queens prepare to leave
yes your majesty
lord remain here and wait for the envoy and reinforcements from ming
as for defending pyeongyang
the second state councilor can do that
step back right now
dont you see these are the ancestral tablets of the former kings?
hong yeosun
you filled you stomach wth bribes and ruined the country
you're talking off during war so you can survive?
what?how dare you?
i'll do what i want
you're worse than a bug!
arent you afraid of the heavens?
your majesty
it's his majesty
how dare you?
close the gate
stop there
you will all be killed if you come further
let us see his majesty
we have a question for him
stop causing a commotion and leave
then ask him for us
he promised we could return home
why is he fleeing?
why did he gave us false hope with lies?
answer us
what's the use of a king and a country?
let's destroy those ancestral tablets
yes let's do that
your majesty
get the ancestral tablets now
step back
if you dont want to die put them down and leave
listen
who said you could deny this country?
you can be unhappy about the king leaving but are you going to deny the foundation of joseon?
the king tried to abandon this place and flee
did you live for the king?
is this the only the country of the king?
the country belongs to the people
it's a place where our descendanrts will live
these tablets are those of the kings who made this place possible
this country has fallen
if you dont want to die step back
fallen?
this country will rise again
you should help for the country not for the king
if you're going to be like this to the end you arent a citizen of this country
you are just a rebel
i will have to kill you
who are you?
i am ryu seongryong
even if the king leaves this place i will not leave
you can leave this country if you want
he wouldnt lie
he is staying with us at the refugee camp
we'll see
let's go
your majesty please wait a few days so the people can settle
the people seem to follow you more than they follow me
your majesty did you want to see me?
i am appointing you as an envoy to go to ming for reinforcements go to yodong right away
let them know of this urgent situation and ask for reinforcements as soon as possible
yes your majesty
pyeongyangseong
can we stop them when public sentiments have turned?
public sentiments have turned but there are 3000 soldiers left here
as long as dadonggang flows
the enemy wont be able to take pyeongyangseong that easily
maybe for a few days but not forever
we dont need defense
we need a counter attack
we need reinforcements for that
whether you want it or not his majesty already asked for reinforcements
i know
please stop being so stubborn
the soldiers here are our people too
we cant let them die in vain
please do as he ways
his majesty is gone
what would change if i stop being stubborn?
leave if you want
i will remain here
i cant leave by myself
if there are a few ming soldiers here
the enemy wont attack that easily
attacking ming soldiers means a war against ming
i think i should have a few ming soldiers come here
may i go and bring them?
fine go ahead
i will be as quick as i can
good luck
yeosu left jeolla naval headquarters
gaeseong has already been taken
what's the use of defening the ocean?
when i think of the situation on land i want to send our naval forces there
the naval forces can fight on land too
what do you mean?
a war isnt only fought with swords and spears
select fast men from the forces
pair them up and send them each province
have them go in disguise and analyze the movement of the enemy
have them send reports to me
yes sir
thats a good idea
the left jeolla naval headquarters will be able to gather all the information of the current situation
sir
what is it?
an old man named heo naeman would like to see you
why did you want to see me?
is there anything an old man like me can do for this country?
well
can you do anything?
just tell me
you have to put your life on the line
would i have come without such resolve?
fine settle in busan
check out the enemy movement there and send me important information
can you do that?
yes
it's the perfect job for me
lord of pungwon
i heard gaeseong was taken
but it's news from ten days ago
i'm curious what the situation on land is
it's frustrating and i'm worried
did you hear of our victory at okpo happo and jeokjinpo?
the enemy wont be able to cross the ocean with ease anymore
we will cut off all the distribution routes of wae's military rations
the fate of joseon lies in your hands
be sure to carry the IDs you just received
take care of yourselves
it will be hard but dont be disappointed
if i can defend the ocean with my life the wae army here wont be able to
communicate with the main land to ask for support
they will fall on their own
no matter what difficulty you face please dont lose courage or hope until then
why arent you crossing the river and attacking? Daedonggang konishi yukinaga's camp
we tried to cross on rafts two days ago
about 200 soldiers died
if we dont cross all at once it will be difficult to take the fortress
it's not that we're not attacking
we're just being careful
there is a rumor the king of joseon fled
how can you win a war when you're afraid of damage to your forces?
cross the river and attack right away
if you dont i will send a negative report
to his majesty
sir the enemy raided us
what?
you didnt see their boats cross?
we didnt see any boats
they suddenly apperaed out of nowhere
oh
counterattack right away
yes sir
oh
attack
retreat
fire
what are you doing?go after them
go after them
wangseongtan rapids of daedonggang
cross the river and retreat
what?there was such a shallow area?
this wasnt a raid
the joseon army helped us
yoshitoshi we will go to battle tomorrow morning
yes sir
sir
i was headed to pyeongyang with 50 elite soldiers
thank you
the vice commander of yodong zu chengxun will arrive with soldiers soon
thank you very much
we can defend pyeongyangseong now
let's go
where are you coming from?
i'm from pyeongyangseong
i'm headed to his majesty
what's going on?
Pyeongyangseong has been taken
