The Jingbirok a memoir of imjin war
do you think i'm a fool?
why would the enemy have attacked if gwon yul's army was in suwon?
someone ordered his army to go to haengju
that's why a battle occurred there
the chief administrator even knows this
whoever gave the order we achieved a huge victory and are at an advantage
that's a good thing
will the war end because you won a battle at haengjusanseong?
what's more important is military structure and military rules
how can i trust anyone and lead the allied forces?
who gave the order?
was it you?
i dont know anything about it
then it must have been the supreme commander of three provinces ryu seongryong
he wouldnt have done that without your approval
he interferes all the time
he's perfectly capable of doing that
remove him from office right away
general
if you dont i will return to my country
your majesty we received a report from gwon yul who is at haengjusanseong
good
we'll see who gave the order
go ahead and read it
your majesty this is gwon yul
when i was at dokseongsanseong in suwon i heard li rusong of ming recovered pyeongyang and was going to recover hanyang soon
with great admiration i wanted to greet him up close
while we were moving to haengjusanseong we ended up fighting with the wae army
which attacked haengjusanseong on february 12
fortunately we defeated them after fighting them for a day
all this was possible because i admired li rusong
i would like to offer all two hundred of the enemy heads to li rusong
please allow me to do that
there is no way they're going to let this go
ming will demand that you and ryu seongryong take responsibility
we saved our lives because seoae sent arrows
i cant let him get hurt
our court needs him
here's what i'll do
i'll send a report that i fought out of admiration for li rusong
that's a great idea
general gwon yul sent two hundred heads out of admiration for you
this victory is all because of you
congratulations
congratulations general
is that so?
i didnt do anything
what are you doing?
this is practically general li's merit
prepare a banquet
yes your majesty
i will tell the emperor about your merit
you are a fine example to our generals
thank you your majesty
yeosu left jeolla naval headquarters
the tables have turned now
we will recover the capital soon
the wae army will retreat south
if we keep chasing them they will try to flee to their main land
we cant let them leave when they plundered our land like this
i'm asking you if they try to leave by the ocean dont let them
bury them all in the ocean
good luck from ryu seongryong
dont worry
as long as i'm alive the wae army will not leave by our ocean
sir
come outside
what's going on?
people who lost their homes came here to take refuge Gwon Jun(suncheon regional military commander)
you cant do this
leave now go
sir
is this everyone?
it wouldnt be such a problem then
there are hundreds of them outside the camp
sir please accept us
accept us
what's wrong with you?
i know you're in a bad situation but this is a military camp
it's not a place of refuge
dont you know it's hard to control the soldiers if there are citizens around?
we know but we have nowhere to go
there are still many wae soldiers in gyeongsang-do
they are committing all sorts of atrocities
we tried to go to jeolla-do but the wae soldiers are coming south soon
we looked but this was the only place we could came to
please help us
help us help us
i feel sorry for them but we cant have refugees on the camp
let them stay a day ad tell them to leave
that's right
refugees were never allowed on a military camp
what if we had them plow the fields that supply military rations?
have them take care of the fields instead of the soldiers?
yes then our soldiers can focus on training and battle and we'll get a better yield
only people who are serving labor instead of military service can do that
if you let them do that you could be misunderstood as exploiting them
i'm not exploiting them
i'm trying to save them
are you saying you will share the crops?
of course we have to share them equally
sir those fields are government property
the crops have to be offered to the court except for what's used at camps
you cant give them to the refugees
you'll get into a lot of trouble
that's right it goes against our tax laws
a general who uses taxes freely is treated like a traitor
there are too many problems
you have to send them away
they have nowhere to go how can i abandon them?
i'm not saying i'll act on my own
i'm going to get approval from the court
i know you feel sorry for them but his majesty and the court could misunderstand your intentions
the royal family and court should apologize to the people for dying tragic deaths
they will say it's good
have the refugees go to dolsando where it's pretty safe Island in yeosu Jeollanam-do
sir
you want to hold peace talks with the wae army?
what are your intentions now?
are you trying to seek a truce again?
we will not agree
did the peace talks in pyeongyang go bad?
you bought time until the ming army arrived and recovered pyeongyangseong thanks to that
are you saying it's another strategy to defeat the wae army?
of course i'm goimg to demand that they withdraw from hanyang and return to their main land
we'll spare them if they leave
you are going to spare our enemies?
how can we spare them?
it's a strategy to recover the capital
we will attack the minute they leave the capital
of course we should
i dont understand
they were deceived in pyeongyang
do you think they will be deceived again?
there's no need for any talks we have to attack
councilor
we didnt even try
how can you be so sure?
if the talks fail it wont be too late to attack then
then our court will attend the talks this time
you cant do that
why not?
are you trying to hide something from us?
listen
you keep doubting me and ming
why did you ask us for help?
as far as ming became involved this isnt just joseon's war
it's also ming's war
its natural for a higher nation to represent you
why does the court of a feudal nation want to interfere?
look here! interfere?
this is our war
stop it
he went to pyeongyang by himself and succeeded with his strategy
i will trust you
thank you your majesty
just know this
there is no reconciling with the wae army They dug up the graves of our former kings
and slaughtered innocent citizens
if a single wae soldiers leaves alive i wont be able to face the former kings after if die
i wont even be able to face the people when i'm alive
i agree
one more thing prince imhae and prince sunhwa are being held hostage
be sure to get them back
i already thought of that
dont worry about it
thank you
we're ready
you both look nice
i'll be wearing it some day anyway
it's as if it was made for me
isnt it? Yes
it's a mission to see if prince imhae and prince sunhwa are alright
but you must find out what shen weijing and the enemy leader talk about
yes sir Understood
i heard you're going to demand that the wae army withdraw
that's right
are there the two men who will see if the princes are alright?
yes
i will allow it because his majesty begged
but they must not linger near the talks
understood
you wont discuss a truce like last time will you?
if you secretly talk about a truce i will not let it go
is that so?
why dont you bow when you see the emperor's flag?
this flag will enter the enemy camp
how can i bow to it?
what?
you also have a notification that the enemy shouldnt be killed
all the more reason i cant bow
look here
do you have a death wish?
bow right now
if it's a flag and notification to crush the enemy i would gladly bow
do you have two heads?
we'll see about this
even if you had ten heads none of them will be alright
we'll get going now
hanyang
why isnt there any news?
konishi
it's been a long time
you lost a lot of weight
you look terrible
well you lost at pyeongyangseong and again at haengjusanseong
it would be strange if you looked great
right koichi?
you dont look too good either
at least i fought against the ming army and joseon army
you were defeated by a righteous troops leader named jeong munbu
i heard you fled in your underwear
kato
it's cold in hamgyeong-do
did it freeze?!
what?
you didnt come to hanyang on purpose right?
ukita wont let that go
what are you talking about?
you and ishida tried to isolate me
even when the generals were called to hanyang for a meeting i know you didnt contact me on purpose
ukita will hold me responsible?
wait and see i'll report to his majesty
and have you and ishida's heads cut off
come on stop it
just pray for konishi
general
shen weijing is here
it's time
are you alright?
yes general kiyomasa was very good to us
what about that wound?
this
listen carefully
if you blab about being beaten or starving while you were held hostage you wont be able to go home
i fell when i encouraged the righteous troops in hamgyeong-do
you dont have to worry about us
how is his majesty?
he's fine just hang in there a little while
please ask him to achieve a truce so we can be saved
did you just say a truce?
isnt that why you came?
you see they are fine get up
cant we talk a little more?
take them away
leave hanyang and return to the main land?
you must have run out of military rations
you cant stay in hanyang for a long
are you saying you will let us rule hasamdo if we return to the main land? Gyeongsang-do Jeolla-do Chungcheong-do
that's a matter i cant decide
if's for the emperor to decide
what i can guarantee is a royal letter appointing your master as the king of japan
and opening up a path of commerce with ming
what?do you think we shed all this blood just for that?
it's better than shedding more blood
what?
let's be honest
i dont want this war to go on
if we win we'll just return joseon land to the king of joseon
there's nothing for us to gain
i'm sure it's the same for you
it's a war you cant win
if you come because of your ruler stop here
you should return home alive
then i'll be honset too
me and my soldiers want to go home
but if we return with nothing my head will be cut off
i'll die anyway
if both sides want to stop there should be something for each side
fine how about this?
let's send envoys to each country to surrender
surrender?
of course they cant be real envoys
they have to be envoys who will obey us
as if they were real envoys?
yes your envoy will go to our emperor and ask for your master to be appointed
as the king and pay tribute in return for withdrawing
and your envoy will go to my master and say we will be treated as equals and
given the right to rule the land south of hangang
that's right
would they believe us?
if they find out it's all a lie neither of us will survive
we will both be back home before they find out
even if they find out we can say the other country didnt keep their promise first
after you already withdraw will your king be able to start another war?
things arent so great in ming either
they wont spend a lot of money to send another army
ming will have the justification of establishing a good -neighbor policy and your king will save face since
he will be appointed as the king achieve commerce and rule south of hangang
fine let's give it a try
we will stay in the south coast until the agreement is reached
we have to take this conversation to our graves
of course
as a show of trust return the two princes you are holding hostage
fine instead when we withdraw prevent the joseon army from pursuing
we must not attck each other while we are staying in the south coast
the ming army must also retreat to yodong
i'll promise that
regardless of joseon shen weijing and konishi yukinaga decide to deceive their kings to end the war
the international fraud made the war stop for 5 years
in the end it was found out and it cause the japanese invasions in 1597
i'm back your majesty
welcome back
how did it go?
they are withdrawing from hanyang
is this true?
yes
they'll really withdraw without any conditions?
yes they couldnt fight the ming army if they stayed
they are accepting everything and leaving
of course they couldnt fight against a gifted army
where are the princes?
the wae army was scared
they said they would return them after they left hanyang safely
we will attack as soon as the princes are sent back
okay you defeated the enemy without any soldiers
you were sent from heaven
he's a liar sent from heaven
what are you talking about?
he held peace talks
what nosesnse are you babbling now?
peace talks?do you have proof?
prince imha knew everything he told our official
you call that proof?
would the enemy leaders be able to tell their soldiers they're fleeing because they're scared of the ming army?
of course they said we held peace talks
prince imhae probably heard that
look here
dont make excuses
tell the truth about what you talked in secret
the truth?i already did
if you're lying we will tell the emperor and have you killed
i warned you to watch your head first
what are you doing?
it's an order by the commander-in-chief
ryu seongryong insulted the emperor's flag
what are you doing?drag him away
how rude of you
vice commander zu what are you doing?
take him away
your majesty we might be receiving ming's help but they cant do this
a top minister cant be dragged away like this because he didnt show respect to a flag
that's right tell administrator shen to release him right away
with what justification?
the flag stands for the emperor
why didnt he show respect?
it was a flag saying not to kill wae soldiers
i wouldnt have shown respect either
it isnt just us our court and our people
who would show respect to such an absurd flag?
would you?
this isnt just contempt to the supreme commander
its contempt to our court and to you
let's see they wont punish him
they'll just reprimand him
your majesty
pyeongyang Ming army's camp
the flag is the same as the emperor
even barbarians bow to it
how could you refuse?
do you have a true death wish?
i know i should show respect to the flag
but i couldnt because it was an order not to fight against our enemies
i'll give you another chance
bow to the flag
then you wont be punished
supreme commander this is your last chance
fine you will be punished by military law
flog him a hundred times
administrator that would kill him
vice commander get ready
yes sir
stop
hello crown prince
what brings you here?
please forgive him
it's because i was mad and i gave an order not to bow to a flag that would enter enemy territory
is that so?
then order him to bow
supreme commander show respect
crown prince
obey his order
supreme commander the crown prince did it
sir remember what you said to me when you left the banquet
it's alright my pride isnt important when we have to save our country
i can endure humiliation a thousand times
dont think about anything else
just think of one thing just one thing
hurray for the emperor
who told you to do such a thing?
your majesty i...
i just wanted to save the supreme...
that's not what i'm talking about
why did you bow to the flag?
do you think i couldnt have done that?
your majesty...
if we had to be humiliated a servant could have been humiliated
by going there and doing that you humiliated me
i told you to just breathe
dont embarras the country
dont do anything
i will get revenge for my people
ukita konishi ishida and even kato all want to leave hanyang and retreat to the south?
yes
should i go?
no let them do that
you'll approve of the peace talks?
it wouldnt be bad if the land south of hangang is recognized as ours
i think they're too exhausted
we can attack ming after we take a break
you made a good decision
peace is a strategy too
if we stay in joseon we can attack again at any time
sure map
secure a fortress to stay in between busanpo and sangju
have them repair all fortresses nearby
yes your majesty
more importantly occupy jinjuseong before the truce is decided
we couldnt distribute military rations if we cant occupy jeolla-do
externally peace but from behind attack
your strategy of truce is excellent
only the winner can talk about peace
i'm looking at this war in the long run
i agree your majesty
hanyang
on april 20 1593 ryu seongryong and the joseon-ming allied forces return to hanyang a year after they abandoned the capital
the recovery of the capital wasnt achieved with military force
it was the result of secret talks between ming and japan it wasnt a return in glory
the tragic capital showed the need for a second founding of joseon
as soon as they entered the capital ryu seongryong asked li rusong to
pursue the enemy but li rusong refused with the excuse they didnt have boats
general lee sieon cross the river in the east
go after the enemy with byeon eungseong
yes sir
general lee bin cross the river in the west
go after the enemy with the soldiers of left gyeonggi
yes sir
supreme commander will it be alright?
if we move without an order li rusong might...
i know but we cant just sit here
move covertly and quickly
yes sir
all the generals of joseon are here
where are you going?
nowhere we just talked with the supreme commander
we're returning to our camps
is that so?the commander-in-chief wants to congratulate you and praise you
come to our camp
no we have a lot to do
right we have to oragnize the capital
we will go to see him a later time
what are you doing?
we were told to bring you by force if we had to
bring them
yes sir
it's a strategy to prevent us from going after the enemy
i'm sure they made a secret deal
who did the ming army come to help?
am i alive or is this hell?
isnt anyone alive?
is anyone alive?
sir
listen say something if anyone is alive
sir sir
say something if anyone is alive
if anyone is alive...say something
sir sir
open your eyes sir
