this is no time for joking
it wont be solved like that
call a large army and defeat wae
i'm in place of the emperor
are you giving me an order?
you made the country end up like this and wanted to flee to yodong
you should be begging me to save your country
not give orders

let's go inside
temporary quarters in uiju pyeongan-do

how can you do that without the ministers?
you wont be of much help

i'm going to meet the enemy leader at pyeongyangseong and settle this

you didnt even bring an army by yourself?
that's right
what will you say?
that's confidential
i dont want it to leak
so i'll tell you when i get back
look here i'm the king of this country
cant you tell me?
you cant be an exception
you must promise that you will abide by the agreement i made with
the leader of the wae army
how can i promise you when i dont even know what it is?
that's an excessive demand
i was given the authority of the emperor
are you saying you wont obey the emperor?
that's not what i'm saying
then do as i say
joseon is a brother nation of ming
would i cause it harm?
it's all to help you and this country
just trust me
he's really arrogant
he's treating us like puppets
his majesty is being dragged along by ming
he cant do that
the crown prince wouldnt be like this
this wont do let's go
if something happens to our country
our sins wont be washed away even after we die
you still cant trust me?
no no i'll trust you
your majesty it's yun dusu
it's ryu seongryong
it's jeong cheol
come back later
we're coming in
i'm talking with an envoy
how can you be so rude?
it's alright i'm sure they were curious
of what we were talking about
i'll get going then
what did you talk about?
you cant decide important national matters in secret like this
what did you talk about?
nothing
what are you talking about?
you were just...
nothing nothing
we didnt talk about anything
if you didnt say anything are you saying you only listened?
what did you listen to?
your majesty
he said he would meet the enemy leader at pyeongyangseong and settle this
and we are to abide by the agreement that is made no matter what
how is he going to settle it?
i dont know
you dont know what shen weijing is going to say to the enemy leader?
that's right i dont know
you gave him all authority without knowing anything?
did you really give him all authority?
what was i supposed to do?
he came in place of the emperor
what could i do?
your majesty the country is facing a dire extremity
we might have to receive help from ming but we have to decide our own fate
how could you give all authority to a ming envoy without knowing anything?
how could you do this?
if shen weijing settles this matter and joseon to surrender to wae
we must surrender?
if joseon is give half its land to wae we must abide by that?
he wouldnt settle it like that
let's trust him
we are a brother nation
he wont cause us harm
tell me what your plan is
it's simple
reconcillation they can reconcile
reconcile?
things are chaotic right now
i have no time for joking around
get him out of...
i heard that's what you wanted too
am i wrong?
what?
li rusong is winning but bobai's insurrection hasnt been suppressed yet
and they were only 5000 in number but zu chengxun's army was annihilated
we're in no situation to send an army
fighting wont be the situation
what's important in war is a victory
the best way to achieve a victory is to do so without fighting
what could the grand nation of ming gain by fighting a small island nation?
it's only to restore joseon territory
we cant own wae territory
even if we send reinforcements the best way to minimize damage save the king of joseon and restore their territory is reconciliation
shen weijing he was from jiaxing of zhejiang province
he was neighbors with the family of shi xing's mistress
when he heard they were looking for someone to save joseon he volunteered
people who knew him said he was an eloquent speaker
but couldnt be trusted because he had dual personalities
shi xing chose him because he knew a lot about japan and spoke japanese well
shen weijing plotted with shi xing
they deceived the ming court and had peace talks with japan
later he is called an international con artist
he gave a ming envoy all authority without knowing what is going to happen?
yes
he cant do that
how can we leave the fate of our nation to the tongue of a ming envoy?
his majesty cant do this
no matter how desperate he is he cant do this
i will go to uiju
please calm down
did you forgot this is the court of joseon?
the government officials righteous troops and people are looking to you
even if daejo abides by the ming envoy you dont have to
without your consent the fate of this country is still in our hands
you are right
if his majesty makes a wrong decision
i will not abide by it
give a secert order to ryu seongryong and have him attend the talks
that's a good idea do so
is this true?
what?the crown prince?
yes i'm worried bunjo will ruin important national matters
gwanghae is trying to go over my head
i ought to
your majesty please calm down
you will know every move bunjo makes
just wait and see what happens
did you plant someone there?
my brother
kim gongryang is there?
i told him to watch bunjo to help you
i'm just supposed to wait?
it's better if more wrong is done
instead of pointing out his faults each time hold him responsible all at once after the war
you will get your way with more ease
what do you want?
are you headed to pyeongyang?
i am
i will go with you
what are you talking about?
this is an exclusive meeting
it's a meeting to decide the fate of joseon
someone from the joseon court should be there
i will represent the joseon court
look here your king give me full authority
stay out of this
you dont seem to know
the joseon court is bunjo led by the crown prince
he never approved of your talks
bunjo?
you came to carry our talks in joseon's place but you didnt even know that?
i know
your king wanted to flee to yodong so he established bunjo
it's a joke in the ming court
watch what you say
i received an order from bunjo
i will attend the talks
i knew it
wait a while
it's about time
there might be ministers who try to stop me
you are going to have to prevent that
send someone when i go to pyeongyang and confirm the order
how?
say anyone who stops me can be executed
what?
you cant do that?
then i have nothing to do i'll just have to return to ming
no no
i'll do that
this is an order that anyone who gets in the way can be executed
what?
his majesty knows you received an order from bunjo
he is even more in rage
continue on your way
lord i'm leaving
prepare food well for the ming army
his majesty should help how can he do this?
pyeongyangseong konishi yukinaga's camp
you are in enemy territory but your expression isnt even changing
this is common for generals and envoys of a powerful nation
why is this enemy territory?
this is the jurisdiction of the ming court
leave before the emperor shows rage
the jurisdiction of the ming court?
this is joseon territory
maybe but joseon received our emperor's grace for a long time
its our brother nation
brothers are one so you can say this is ming territory
leave right now
we just want to borrow a path to pay tribute to ming and be recognized
but joseon cut off our path and resisted with force
we had no choice
then retreat all the more
i will ask the emperor about your tribute and let you know
we shed blood to get this far
we wont be able to retreat
then will you have to greet our army
of 700000 which is on standby in yodong
after crushing zu chengxun the ming army is a bunch of misfits
i'm not afraid even if there are hundreds of thousands of them
do you want a fight?
i dont like shedding blood
there could be a way
you want the land south of daedonggang?
that's right
consider it the cost of an unexpected war
we wont advance further north then
fine but i cant decide such an important matter on my own
i will return and report to the emperor
i need some time
how long will it take?
i need 50 days to make the trip to bejing
i will give you his answer in 50 days
fine
for 50 days i will set up signs prohibiting entry and exit
the japanese soldiers arent to leave a radius of 40km from the capital
the joseon soldiers arent to enter that area either
military activities must be banned anywhere in joseon
that's what i want
a truce for 50 days?
yes i stopped them from heading north without a single soldier
you dont have to worry for a while
thank you that's very fortunate
there must have been a condition
what was it?
they want the japanese king to be installed and pay tribue to ming
i said i would ask the emperor
stop speaking nosense
there are many ways to achieve that
they didnt have to start a war
it's because you didnt lend them a path
i cant believe it
they wont stop the war just to be installed and pay tribute
what did you talk about?
stop it
i stopped them from advancing north
what is all the commotion about?
then i'll tell you the truth
i said joseon is a brother nation of ming
if they dont want to fight an army of 700000 standing by in yodong i told them to sit still
are you saying there is a large army in yodong?
of course not i lied
ming doesnt have soldiers to spare at this time
what are you talking about?
you know
do you think i came alone because i wanted to?
all the soldiers were sent to suppress bobai's insurrection
how can soldiers be sent to joseon?
i told them bobai's insurrection would be suppressed soon
i lied and said an army of 700000 was standing by in yodong to ear time
in 50 days the ming army will really sweep them away
oh that was your intention
you are like zhang liang and zhuge liang (strategist of han who had insight)
i didnt want the ministers of joseon to come along because
i thought they would get scared and my plans would be exposed
is that so?
did you head that?he had deep intentions
you shouldnt have been so suspicious
thank you
you are a hero who will save this country
you flatter me
i will go to bejing and bring a huge army
be sure to abide by the agreement with wae
understood i will give a royal order
your majesty you look comfortable
isnt it fortunate?
the enemy wont be headed this way and ming will send a large army
there is a ray of light for our country
we have to shine our own light
what now?
this is a chance to counterattack
the enemy wont be attacking
send an order to all government officials and righteous troops to attack the enemy
what are you talking about?
you want me to go against my word?
what is the meaning of a promise with wae?
they are enemies who plundered our land and people
they are worse than traitors
how can talks be held and promises be made with wae?
that's right
if they promised a truce they must be in a situation they cant advance
we should counterattack and the reinforcements from ming can destroy them further
you dont want me to sleep in comfort even for a one day do you?
how can you say that?
i know what you're saying but i dont want our soldiers and people
to shed blood
if a large army comes from ming wae will be defeated without their sacrifices
why do you want our soldiers to shed blood?
ming soldiers will shed blood too
they will want us to pay a price for that
even if we receive help from ming we have to be the ones to recover our country
please give an order to counterattack
yes your majesty
if we fail the wae army will head north and attack uiju
then everything will be over
dont provoke a beehive by acting rashly
just sit still
how can this be?
he doesnt want us to fight against wae?
yi sunsin and the righteous troops are achieving victories
we should reverse the situation
there cant be truce
his majesty seems to be relying on the reinforcements from ming too much
its truly frustrating
no i cant follow this order
i cant take this
crown prince ryu seongryong is here
send him in
will you go out with me for some fresh air?
is there something you cant say inside?
his majesty seems to be hearing everything
he knows everything that's happening here
are you saying he planted someone here?
yes
should i find this person?
his majesty wont be pleased with that
just know and be careful
understood
you received an order not to fight against wae for 50 days right?
yes it's really frustrating
isnt this a great chance to counterattack?
the wae army could attack us since we'll have our guards down too
we should attack first
the first production of bigyeokjincheolloe is complete
is this true?
yes we'll check the effects at gyeongjuseong first and then
send them to the camps around joseon
that's a good idea
but his majesty will find out
this was planned before the talks between shen weijing and konishi yukinaga
you can say the royal order was relayed to gyeongju after this fight
lord
the surface might be calm but we have to keep moving under the surface
angang gyeongsang-do park jin's camp
park jin(commader in chief of left gyeongsang)
this is bigyeokjincheolloe?
that's right
gyeongjuseong
here goes
throw it away
let's go
what?gyeongjuseong was taken?
did they break the truce?
the truce is over
prepare for battle
sir gyeongju is far from here
it could happened before the king's order was relayed
be prudent about this
shen weijing could say we broke the truce
that's a possibility
konishi you should check out the situation
before making a move
what's strange is that new bombs were used at gyeongjuseong
new bombs?
according to the soldiers the steel ball exploded and scattered
steel pieces into their bodies
did the steel ball explode after a little while?
how did you know that?
oh
it's bigyeokjincheolloe
what?
you mean the bomb we tried to get the design for before the war?
that's right
we're not fighting well at sea because of the joseon naval forces
they have a new weapon on land now?
konishi
ukita what brings you here?
what are you doing?
a truce for 50 days?
who said you could make such a decision?
as you know the supply route was blocked off by yi sunsin
our army lacks military rations
we have to occupy jeolla-do the grain belt but we're having difficulty doing that
because of the righteous troops in each area
there is an endemic too
despite that you annihilated the ming army
the enemy had their guard down and we got lucky
they completed a new weapon called bigyeokincheolloe
our army was defeated at gyeongjuseong because of that
gunpowder and bullets are problem too
we need to get them from the main land but the ocean is cut off
it will be winter soon
pyeongyangseong is much colder than japan
our goal is ming
in order to conquer ming we need to take a break
we have to secure our rear for a supply route and military rations
and reorganize the army
that way joseon can become a sure advance base for us
that's not completely wrong
i will let his majesty know and wait for an order
reorganize during the 50 days of truce
yes sir
thank you
anju pyeongan-do
i'm back
good
we swept away the wae army at gyeongjuseong and recovered the fortress
the bigyeokjincheolloe is really amazing
thank you thank you so much
i'm glad i could repay your trust
oh no
the court and people should repay you
thank you thank you so much
sir
sir sir
sir
oh?the double spy is here
what brings you here?
the top commander of the wae army ukita hideie is at pyeongyangseong
is this true?
i saw him with my own eyes
are you trying to deceive us again?
no i deserve to die
i'm alive because of him
i wouldnt betray him again
please trust me
you came running your bare feet to tell this to me?
i was in such a hurry
i didnt know my shoes fell off
i'll trust you
you came running with bloody feet
i have to believe you thank you
sir
seongcheon pyeongan-do
is this true?
yes it's certain information
he doesnt have a lot of soldiers escorting him either
this is a golden opportunity
we can reverse the situation if we capture the top commander
are you worried about the truce?
we can say the order was relayed at for gyeongjuseong
but his majesty wont let this go
he came with a few soldiers because there is a truce
you'll regret it if you miss this chance
take decisive action
if his majesty punishes me with poison i will gladly drink a hundred bowls
so will i
fine
let's capture ukita hideie
you dont know where the crown prince is?
no i dont see the fourth state councilor either
did they sense something?
be careful we'll both be dead if we're found
yes
wangseongtan daedonggang
are you sure they're coming this way?
of course they dont have boats
they entered pyeongyangseong this way too
can you do a good job this time?
hey my life depends on this
if i flee you can kill me
they showed up
archers get ready
now
shoot the machine arrow
yes sir
shoot
matchlock unit forward
attack
why isnt there any word?
crown prince
general lee ll is returning with the heads of the enemies
