The Jingbirok a memoir of imjin war
say something if anyone is alive
is anyone is alive...say something
sir sir
open your eyes sir
sir sir
temporary quarters in yeongyu pyeongan-do
ryu seongryong took to bed ill?
yes your majesty
it's an ilness from repressed anger
repressed anger?
the capital looks like hell and the ming army didnt pursue the enemy
i can understand why he became sick
the ming army and the wae army definitely made a deal
that's right your majesty
call song yingchang and ask him
okay i'll call song yingchang and...
your majesty song yingchang is here
good...show him in
yes your majesty
i'm glad you came
i have something to ask you
can i ask you something first?
why did you interfere with our pursuit of the wae army?
what are you talking about?
that's what i wanted to ask you
what are you talking about?
according to the commander's report the ming army was going to pursue
but couldnt because the joseon army didnt have boats ready for them
the joseon generals didnt think about pursuing the enemy
they went to the commander's camp and had drinks to celebrate recovering the capital
that cant be...
let me tell you one more thing
i heard you are dividing busan and giving it to wae
you set up border marks here and there and gave a secret order not to attack
are you that afraid of battle?
is that way you tried to hold peace talks with wae?
no no that's not true
i never did such a thing
look here
how could i talk about peace with the wae army?
i believe that
i'm just saying there are such rumors at the wae camp so i asked
you agree with me?
there can be no negotiating with the wae army?
of course not
if the wae army doesnt leave neither will i
if i dont leave neither will li rusong and the ming army
that's good
so why did you have our soldiers carry out letters saying the wae army shouldnt be attacked?
that was to make the enemy feel safe
we were going to attack from the rear
that was your intention i didnt know
but our plan was ruined because there werent any boats at hangang
i'm sorry i'm truly sorry
i'll reprimand the generals so such a thing never happens again
yes your majesty
how did they find the vessels that we hid?
they brought about 70 vessels we had to pursuit
i was in a bind
so?
i remembered i injured my leg at the byeokjegwan battle
i said i was in pain and i couldnt move
what could they do?they had to give up
he was such a crybaby
it was as if he was about to die
i thought it was for real too
i see good job
administrator song would have been mad if we pursued the enemy
so we wont be fighting the enemy anymore?
unless the peace agreement is broken probably
dont worry drink up
oh! ryu seongryong took ill to bed
ryu seongryong?
yes he fainted when he saw the tragic sight of the capital
i think it's because he has no experience at war
how can a man have such a weak heart?
he's only a top minister because joseon is so small
he would have been a low-level official in charge of military rations in ming
just drink up
your majesty please dont abandon us
i'm sorry i'm leaving right now but i will return i will definitely return
your majesty
how can this be?
kill them all
sir are you awake?
general luo
oh...
what brings you here?
i heard the supreme commander was ill Luo Shangzi(Staff general of ming)
i'm glad you came
i was worried about him too let's go in together
sir
the supreme commander isnt here
what are you talking about?
he left this on the desk
i'm going to check out the situation in the south and go to our camps
in his situation?
who went with him?
i think he took cheonri
dont worry too much
i'm sorry you came all this way for nothing
i will let you know when he returns
sir
i have something to tell you
is this true?
yes it was administrator song's order not to pursue the enemy
as a general of the reinforcments i'm truly embarrassed and sorry
please forgive me
i had my doubts but it's not your fault
thank you for telling me
let me ask one thing
is administrator song trying to seek a truce?
yes
what are the conditions of the truce?
that much i dont know
i dont think commander li knows either
one thing is for sure until the peace talks are achieved we wont fight against the wae army
yi sunsin is having the refugees cultivate the government fields
that is government property
soldiers should cultivate those fields
sharing crops that should be offered to the court is being shared with the refugees
that was never done before was it?
it's a difficult situation
yi sunsin couldnt abandon the refugees who had nowhere else to go
still
we should be careful about refugees who gather in large groups
it might go against national laws but there are difficult times
having the refugees cultivate the fields until they find another place to live isnt a bad solution at this time
that's right your majesty
if you kick them out right away they will be disappointed with you
you should wait and see for a while
if i drive them out they'll be disappointed with me
if i let them stay yi sunsin will be praised
fine let's wait and see
you are a truly benevolent ruler
thank you your majesty
your majesty
administrator song is trying to achieve a truce with the wae army
what?
are you saying he deceived me this whole time?
he is a very sly person
he threatened you to hide his true intentions
how can someone who was ordered to defeat the wae army do such a thing?
bring him right now
you saw how he was last time he's a snake
do you think he would admit it?
we should report his actions directly to beijing (Ming's capital)
to the emperor himself?
that's a good idea
he will call song yingchang back and punish him for disobeying an imperial order
the emperor will send another administrator who will fight against wae
we have to do it without song yingchang finding out
how should we do this?
your majesty we havent been able to send an envoy
thanking the emperor for sending reinforcements
send an envoy to report the recovery of pyeongyang and hanyang and
thank the emperor for sending reinforcements
send a secret letter too?
that's right
your majesty i will go
you always end up doing all the dirty work
please do it
administrator what brings you here?
search everywhere
yes sir
what is the problem?
you approved of this trip
i did but i received some information
information?
i heard there is a wae spy in the group with a secret letter to a spy in beijing
there cant be
i'm also hoping it's not true
i know it's inconvenient but please cooperate
i understand
there arent any suspicious letters
is that so?
please excuse me
it's alright then i'll be...
wait
they searched everyone but one person
are you suspecting me?
it's just a formality
take off that belt
look here! do you have to go this far?
administrator
are you mun ikjeom?
did you hate me that much?
he disobeyed an imperial order and sought peace with the wae army
what do you think of me?
i told you it was a strategy not to pursue the wae army
who was it?
who said i was seeking a truce with the wae army?
i'm sorry
your majesty why dont you believe me?
can we call ming and joseon allied forces?
it's all my fault
i shouldnt have listened
this wont happen again
no send an envoy
tell the emperor you recovered pyeongyang and hanyang
tell him the wae army was driven off this land
what are you talking about?
the wae army is still here
are you planning to deceive the emperor?
they will be leaving soon so you can report that
we will report it after they leave
you were going to turn me into a sinner anyway
cant you do this much for me?
should i retreat to yodong with the army?
no no fine i'll send an envoy
the national border council will discuss it and from a party of envoys
lord go yourself
your majesty...i cant believe this
it turned out for the better
i cant bring your letter but i'll meet the emperor and tell him myself
understood
song yingchang will not move the army
send a secret order to gwon yul
have him attack the wae army in the south
li rusong and song yingchang had a fit after the victory at haengjusanseong
will that be possible?
if he has different intentions we have to attack and break the truce
if wae is attacked by us they wont be able to achieve the truce so easily
that's a good plan
your majesty you have to fear the people more than ming
if peace is achieved with wae you and the court's family will be criticized for generations to come
fine we have the upper hand
we should be able to defeat wae ourselves
i'm going to kill the wae army which is at the edge of a cliff
we have to defeat the enemy quickly before the ming army finds out
we should we defeated them at haengjusanseong if we defeat them again
ming will have to recognize the joseon army
that's right
i'll go south and check out the movement of the wae army there
do that
let's go
everyone hurry
what if jeong cheol tells the emperor that we are seeking a truce?
dont worry the emperor doesnt even care about our own national matters
he hears about everything from the ministers
if the court ministers find out...
the minister of defense wants a truce
it doesnt matter what jeong cheol says
the minister will cover us
the emperor will only receive a report that the wae army returned to the main land
that's right
what about the envoys who will be sent wae?
i told xie yongzi and xu yiguan to act like they were from ming
they'll be sent to busan soon
but
i'm not happy with the king of joseon
neither am i
what's interesting is the court ministers and people arent that happy with him either
i thought so
he only cares about himself
he is insisting on fighting against wae because he is only thinking of himself
that's right he is at fault for causing this war
if he doesnt fight to the end
he seems to scare easily but he wont listen to us
What about the crown prince?
do you mean prince gwanghae?
he gained public sentiments when he led bunjo
the ministers trust him a lot too
is there a possibility he will go along with us?
he has stronger feelings regarding wae that the current king
find out
find out about the relations between the king and the servants too
understood
take it away
you will collapse again
eat a little
his majesty is keeping a distance since prince sinseong died
i have nobody to rely on
how long do i have to be the attendant?
arent you going to return to the capital?
what's the use?
i'm useless to the king like chicken ribs
if gwanghae takes the throne we are both as good as dead
gee...some people throw out chicken ribs but some people like them
we should make them want us
his majesty is the real chicken rib
what are you talking about?
song yingchang doesnt like him very much
probably not he got caught trying to report song sing yingchang to the emperor
he ordered someone to look into gwanghae
what?gwanghae?
we're in trouble song yingchang is going to exclude his majesty
he's going to plan something with the crown prince who gained public sentiments
then i will be surrounded by enemies
why do you think so?
his majesty isnt interested in you
you should side with gwanghae
hey!
you dare tell me to betray his majesty?
you know that gwanghae gained public sentiments
with someone like song yingchang behind him
he will easily take the throne
ew have to get on gwanghae's side to survive
i cant do that even if his majesty treats me like chicken ribs
i'm not telling you to betray him
today's power and tomorrow's power you should have a little of both to survive
it wont be bad to get on gwanghae's good side
gwanghae...
hello administrator
i came because you had something to say but this is...
you came a long way to help our country
i thought i should thank you in person
that's why i prepared this
is that so?
you must be unhappy that the ming army didnt pursue the wae army
not everything is possible by the human will
i'm sure you have deeper intentions
i didnt think there was anyone great in joseon
but there is a woman who understands your intentions
welcome crown prince
you said you wanted to talk to me
yes i asked the administrator to come to talk about the future of our country
is that alright?
that's alright with me
i will leave
crown prince please have a seat
if you're going to take the throne you will have to discuss everything with ming
it wouldnt be bad to grow close
the administrator is being generous
it would be rude to just leave
you should join us
if you have the leisure to dine like this you should pursue the wae army
crown prince can i ask you something?
is it your priority to save joseon from this crisis or is it your first priority to kill the enemy?
it's to overcome this crisis of course
good
his majesty seems to think differently
there's no way
he isnt trying to overcome this crisis
he is trying to get revenge for the people
that way he can continue to sit on the throne
i think you and i can talk
can i give you a drink?
let's have a drink
the administrator seems to like you
what's the use of being interested in a crown prince who is a puppet?
you're not a puppet
the people are saying this crisis would be over if you continued to lead bunjo
i'm upset that his majesty dissolved bunjo
if i was to lead the court again...
i must be intoxicated from this drink
forget what i said
nagoya
your majesty envoys came from ming
they finally came
dont meet them right away
let them wait a while
like the joseon envoys who came in the past
sure they cant meet the son of the sun that easily
have the conditions for a truce been set?
we are going to ask the emperor's daughter to be sent as a concubine
good
we will start trading and have commercial vessels travel back and forth
that's a matter of course
most importantly we will demand the land south of hangang be recognized as our land
good very good
have them return the two princes
have them take the other prince and high level minister as hostages
understood when will you see the envoys?
tell them to enjoy nagoya for a month and a half
we have to occupy jinjuseong during that time
that will put us at an advantage for the peace talks
that's right
we were humiliated at jinjuseong before
we have to pay them back in double or triple if we're to be true samurais
tell them to slaughter every living creature at jinjuseong!
yes your majesty
busan japanese army camp
we're ready for battle
let's go
konishi
this is the result of the peace talks?
you said the enemy wouldnt attack
the joseon army is taking covert action without ming's knowledge
it's not my fault
you should have made sure with the ming army the joseon army wouldnt make a move
why?are you afraid of losing to the joseon men?
i'm not afraid your actions are pathetic
how long do i have to clean up after you?
i cant get any rest because of you
then just rest
rest forever without breathing
what?
what are you doing?
ukita kato isnt feeling well
he wants some rest
what are you talking about?i'm going to battle
everyone is going to battle
what?
we're going to crush the joseon army
there's no need for the entire army to attack
it's an order from his majesty
it's an order to take jinjuseong
jinjuseong?
it's revenge for being defeated last time
it's an order to take jinjuseong for a long-term conflict
kato get ready
yes sir
please help us
nobody can stop you
how long are you going to try to deceive me?
do you think you will always be lucky like you were at haengjusanseong?
i apologized for that
please send the army
if you dont our soldiers and people will all be slaughtered
if they are all slaughtered at jinjuseong it will be the same as being slaughtered by you
administrator
i cant discuss trust and loyalty with you
can you call yourself the king of a country?
listen
the king has no loyalty
it's no wonder the country faced such a crisis
even the boss of a market hoodlum is more loyal than this
i'm going to have to think about whether or not to discuss great matters with you in the future
please leave
your majesty
on june 1593 the japanese army attacked for ten days and occupied jinjuseong
they had a grudge for being defeated the first time
they killed all the soldiers and 30000 people in the fortress
the ming army was staying in seongju but didnt help the joseon army
the occupation of jinjuseong was the result of toyotomi hideyoshi wanting part of joseon
as japanese land and the neglect of the ming army with an intention of taming the joseon court
yeoju left jeolla naval headquarters
it's been a while since we had a drink together
there were many difficulties
althought this is the greatest difficulty of all
there wasnt a peaceful day
it wasnt peaceful especially for you
when you served in war as a commoner i thought my heart would collapse
how could you be hated so much by your superiors?
that's a talent
you should have accepted some bribes and made some bribes too
how can you be so stiff?
it's because i take after you
when i lived in geoncheong-dong in hanyang
i saw you and yosin for the first time when you were thirteen
it's already been 40 years
i miss the days we went to school without any worries
you look exhausted
is something wrong?
sir
jinjuseong has been taken by the wae army
what is the damage to our army?
7000 soldiers died and 30000 of our people were all slaughtered
are you alright?
you wailed all night when you heard about jinjuseong
do you remember?
i'm ashamed that i'm still alive
busanjinseong dongnaeseong pyeongyangseong the capital and jinjuseong...
our precious land is all covered with corpses and drenched with blood
when i close my eyes i hear the wailing of the soldiers and our people
i'm not confident of going on
get up there is something you should see
are people cultivating land in a military camp?
yes
if they're cultivating the land you probably promised to share the crops
i'm going to
you cant do that it's government property
did his majesty approve?
i sent a report but there wasnt a reply
i'll let them cultivate the land until an order prohibiting it is given
you could be seen as a tratior for using public funds recklessly
do they look like tratiors?
i couldnt sleep the night before a battle
soldiers dying one by one
people being slaughtered at the islands that the wae army stayed on
i suffered because i couldnt protect them
i wasnt going to accept there refugees
but they raised me up
look at those children
this land might be covered with corpses and drenched with blood now
but we have to raise our country up again so they can sing songs of an abundant harvest
if the country has no site of livelihood we have to create a site of livelihood
if we lost public sentiments we have to make it a better place to live
and win back public sentiments
dont avoid it with death
we have to raise this country up and win back public sentiments
until then we dont even deserve to die
we have to pay before we die
i wrote this last night because i thought you might need it
you should hurry back
Jaejosanha: Recreate the country
