The Jingbirok a memoir of imjin war
his majesty read ming's intentions
you can accept when he wants to pass on the throne
dont say that
this isnt the first time
its an order for me to beg for forgiveness
even so it's not the same as before
there was a royal letter from the emperor
his majesty cant go against that order
ryu seongryong told me it wasnt time yet
sure
he is his majesty's servant
he will tell you that because if his majesty steps down he will have to step down too
ming wants you to rule
a chance like this wont come again
accept it and take the throne
i'll have to see song yingchang
crown prince
are you planning to ruin this country and offer it to ming?
councilor...
we are all trying to stop song yingchang and defeat the wae army
how can you waver like this?
if you're going to serve the crown prince do a proper job of it
councilor
his majesty wants to pass on the throne because the court didnt serve him well
why is it wrong to accept when his majesty is willing to pass on the throne?
his majesty doesnt want to
dont you know it's pressure from ming?
stop it
you are an intelligent man why are you doing this?
let me just ask one question
how long do i have to be used for his majesty's politics?
when the crisis is over and i become useless he will depose me as the crown prince
i'm his son and i'm a person too
if it's going to be like this every time wouldnt it be better to be deposed now?
sure i know his majesty's intentions
i'll go to hanyang and beg for forgiveness
and i'll ask him to depose me
as the crown prince
crown prince
hanyang
dont pass on the throne!
depose me as the crown prince!
depose me as the crown prince
your majesty depose me as the crown prince!
dont pass on the throne!
please reconsider
dont pass on the throne!
please reconsider
he wants to be deposed?
yes your majesty
why doesnt he think?
its loyalty for you
loyalty?
do you think song yingchang and si xian will be happy if i depose him?
they will give me a hard time saying i deposed him because i didnt want to
obey the emperor's order
you have no intention of deposing the crown prince anyway
it's not something i can do freely
maybe i can in the future
your majesty in the future?
i'm just saying...i could have another son
he's only doing this because he knows i cant depose him so tell him to leave
dont misunderstand his loyalty
he cant be deposed!
we're supporting him so much
why is he being such a fool?
he's so immature
he's not being immature
he's suffering
suffering?
think about it
he was discriminated for not being the eldest or the legitimately qualified
he was also envied by the king when he led bunjo
he suffered a lot
all that resentment exploded now
he doesnt mean it? he's mad?
that's right
dont worry about it
no matter how much he asks to be deposed the king of joseon cant depose him
if he does he will be showing contempt to our emperor
i'm still worried
the ministers will ask the king to change his mind about passing on the throne
if the crown prince keeps insisting on it it wont be easy for us to pressure the king
if the crown prince gives up his position...
what?the crown prince asked to be deposed?
yes
gee...
who will rule this country if there is no crown prince?
what is he up to?
the king couldnt do that when a royal order was given
what a pain
your majesty please reconsider now
yes your majesty
i can understand him asking for forgiveness
why does he want to be deposed?
i think he's doing this on purpose to claim his rights
why do you think so?
who knows what he is thinking?
have him go and see si xian
if they keep insisting on a divided rule the crown prince can go and tell them himself
that he is stepping down
wouldnt that be better?
si xian will already presume that much
he doesnt have to...
why not?si xian wont make him step down and send another prince
your majesty...
that would be good
order the crown prince to do that
you want to go against the emperor's order?
i'm not saying i'm refusing the order
my body cant handle it
i had throat problems for a long time
i got acupuncture and became weak
i cant even go to hasamdo
i cant even fulfill my duties
that's why i asked to be deposed
i barely made it over here
please understand his situation
did his majesty order this?
what are you talking about?
if his majesty ordered this he would be disobeying a royal order
how could he do that?
he is in agony because he cant follow the order right away
fine but as long as i came with an order i cant leave like this
i will give you some time
recover and obey the order
thank you
are you happy now?
we barely bought some time
be prudent and stay on your toes until they withdraw that request
i should
i have no power
crown prince
dont put yourself down
you are the pillar of joseon
i wasnt sure if you would agree to this because you were hurt a lot
but you did
i'm touched by your loyalty
as to be deposed?
then both sides will suffer
we can prevent the court from being divided by showing ming that you have no intention of
succeeding the throne
his majesty wont take you lightly since he will fear that you might
abandon your position as the crown prince
i will come to see you tomorrow
let me tell you something
i have no loyalty to his majesty
i'm only telling you because you know this
i'm only going with your plan because i dont want to rule a divided nation
i dont want to be a puppet king who follows ming's orders either
depose me as the crown prince
please dont pass on the throne
please reconsider
please dont pass on the throne
please reconsider
please dont pass on the throne
please reconsider
make way for his majesty
get up
i will withdraw what i said
thank you your majesty
since i changed my mind you should stop asking to be deposed
i'm foolish and in bad health
i told you to stop it
neither of us are in a situation to do whatever we want
return to haeju
i'm sincere about being deposed
i want to go to a temple and pray for our country and you
that is my wish
i will wait for your order
nobody in the envoy party wants to talk about si xian
they wont even take bribes
there was a strict order not to make any contact with outsiders
i was going to climb over the wall but the security is heavy
there is nothing we can do
have you been watching si xian?
yes i'm not sure if he will listen to us or if he's one of song yingchang's men
he isnt
he doesnt have a good relationship with song yingchang
how do you know that?
i wondered the same thing and asked my brother geunsu who knows the ming court well
to find out about their relationship
you did?
si xian is strongly opposed to wae
the entire ministry of rites thinks of wae people as barbarians who cant be reformed
song yingchang is affiliated with the ministry of war and thinks wae should be dealt with
good-neighbor policies
the two ministers dont have a good relationship
that's good that's really good
let's go to si xian
official lee
yes sir
there is somewhere you have to go
what?
the wae army didnt retreat?
they are staying in the south coast?
song yingchang deceived the emperor?
that's right
he had no intention of fighting
he wanted to end this war with a truce
i cant believe it
are you trying to come between us because you know our two ministries dont get along?
what could we gain from that when you came to help us?
we are telling the truth
i cant believe it just from what you're saying
i should see song yingchang
there is no need
please come in
hello it's been a long time
if you're hiding a secret letter you'd better return before
you get into trouble
there is no such letter Kim su(envoy)
are you sure?
go ahead and search everything
carry out the search
yes sir
there isnt anything suspicious
is that so?
his majesty's order can be placed in here
can i go now?
go ahead
let's go
wait
if you see the minister of defense tell him i will be returning soon
i will do that
let's go
is everything you just said true?
i will bet my life on it
how cant this be?
i will not forgive song yingchang
we are in no situation to have the country be ruled in two
how can we do that when there is a huge army of enemies here?
i'm sorry we cant treat you better since it's a time of war
that isnt the problem
i should return to beijing and tell the emperor about everything i heard
thank you
but a royal order is still a royal order
its true that you didnt prevent an invasion and put ming in danger because of that
since the wae army is in the south coast you cant divide the country
but you should reorganize in hasamdo
establish mugunsa,send the crown prince as soon as he recovers (a military council led by the crown prince during a time of war)
the crown prince?
you cant even do that much?
then am i to return to the emperor and say joseon isnt taking any measures?
no no i will do that
please give a good report
this is very fortunate
you contributed a lot to it
i didnt do much
about sending mugunsa to hasamdo...
if they are to be sent how about doing something greater?
what do you mean?
wouldnt it be better to show the power of a powerful army than just reorganizing?
we'll have to recruit soldiers and nurture such an army
i'm not just talking about nurturing soldiers
i want mugunsa to attack the wae army
that cant be possible in a short time
it's dangerous to think of attacking the enemy just because we have soldiers
dangerous?
we need strong measures to crush the wae army soon
impatience can result in trouble
we have to wait for the right tie
that is the only way to raise our country again
the generals at the front line are all waiting for a chance to fight
you're so laid back
uiju hamgyeong-do
what?
si xian knows everything?
what are you talking about?
i dont know all the details
but the envoys withdrew the order to divide and rule the country and
are headed north
darn
it's been a long time
look who's here
administrator song
it's a long way rest over a cup of tea
i have to rush since it's a long way
i dont have time for tea
i have some things to talk about and...
some things to talk about...
you mean the wae army still being in the south coast?
i already know that you dont have to tell me
it was all for the sake of ming
we should talk
you! how dare you keep babbling after deceiving the emperor?
i shouldnt have let someone like you try to solve this problem in the first place!
well...
you're more pathetic to go along with him
the minister of defense is worse for sending someone like you to be in charge
just wait for a summons let's go
are you doing to let him just go?
we should beg and...
it's all your fault!
how long has it been since i sat here?
almost half a year
is that so?
time sure flies
is everything alright?
yes your majesty
i heard the wae army retreated
why do they want to keep thanking me?
thanks to you the wae army was defeated
its the duty of a feudal nation to show gratitude
i dont like to show off
how is the king of joseon doing?
he's doing fine
why do you keep answering?
cant the joseon envoy talk?
your majesty joseon is truly grateful for all the grace you showed us
but the wae army didnt retreat yet so it isnt peaceful
what are you talking about?
in the report by the last envoy i was told the wae army retreated
there seems to be a misunderstanding...
your majesty i brought a letter from our king
look here you cant show any letter to the emperor
stop being so rude
let me see it
yes your majesty
this is really a report that the wae army didnt retreat
that means one of the two reports i received is fake
the other one was fake
how can a report that didnt come from our court be a true report?
this report is real
welcome
you made a long journey
this is the real report?
from what i learned in joseon song yingchang has been deceiving you
what?he deceived me?
yes he didnt fight against the wae army
he sought a truce,he made a false report and prevented
the joseon envoys from coming to tell the truth
a truce?
minister what's going on?
well...
just because i dont oversee national affairs
do you think i'm a fool?
summon song yingchang right away
december 1593
in december 1593 the ming court found out about song yingchang's conspiracy to achieve a truce
song yingchang lost his position and li rusong was also summoned
shi xing wasnt mentioned in the report sent by seonjo
he changed his attitude and avoided any punishment by impeaching
song yingchang for covering the truth
shen weijing was imprisoned for a while but was released
the ming court sent gu yangqian as the new chief administrator but he
stayed in yodong and showed no intention of driving away the wae army
busanpo japanese army camp
darn
what happened?
i'm sorry
you never do anything right
konishi what are you doing to do now?
song yingchang left
you should go to ming and beg them to give us a piece of joseon lands
if you dont the retired regent will cut off your head
that's what will happen
you poor thing
it's not over yet
ukita,yoshitoshi and naito are standing by in yodong
when they meet the emperor of ming the negotiations will take place
the emperor summoned song yingchang for seeking a truce
he wouldnt accept our deal
it wont be easy for ming to go to war again
over 30000 soldiers withdrew from joseon
there are only about 10000 left
even if they join forces with the joseon army they cant attack us with that number
ming could send more soldiers
sure that's possible
but even if they do they will do so after seeing our envoys
there are many forces on the ming court who dont want to go to war for financial reasons
there is no need to give up hope on achieving a truce
if they intended to fight why would the new chief administrator
just be staying in yodong?
that's true
there's no need to wait
we should sweep the joseon soldiers away while they have their guard down
are you going to go against the retired regent's order?
he sent a new proposal and envoys
diplomacy is more important than war at times
if you want to fight go and fight against yi sunsin!
do you think i cant fight him?
stop it
we will wait until the envoys see the emperor
wait
did you want to see me?
did you receive the order to command mugunsa?
yes but i'm in no state to do that
are you going to use an illness as an excuse to me too?
are you disappointed it's not bunjo?
it's not that
i'm exhausted
the war isnt even over yet why are you exhausted?
it sounds like you're exhausted with me
i'm not sending you because i like this
is it because of the emperor's order?
there isnt a chief administrator of an envoy you should just
follow the order
this is the proposal for mugunsa
there are plans for securing finances and military rations and a guide for training horses
recruitment and training are the most important
i have a question
most of the ming army withdrew
why do you want to recruit soldiers and train them?
it's to defeat the wae army
do you think the ming army will attack the wae army again?
they will some day wont they?
some day?
are you saying they wont for a while?
honestly that's what i think
are you saying we shouldnt fight if the ming army doesnt fight?
are you saying we should attack with our army?
if we're not going to there is no reason to wait for the ming army that wont fight or
to recruit soldiers and train them
why isnt there a reason?
we have to strengthen our military power while we wait for the ming army
fighting isnt going to solve anything
we need the time to enhance our strength
that's right
the chief state councilor is right
we cant defeat the wae army on our own right now
we have to raise strength and attack with the ming army
i'm not saying we should attack right away
if mugunsa goes to hasamdo and recruits new soldiers
there wont be a reason to receive ming's help
the government armies led by gwon yul and kim myeongwon reorganized
the naval forces led by yi sunsin are strong
there will also be support from righteous troops
the military training command is producing excellent soldiers
what are you afraid of?
what does the minister of war think?
we were under ming's command
the joseon army didnt show its true power
the wae army isnt scattered all over the nation
its only in the south coast
it's worth a shot
i think it's a bit too soon
except for the naval forces our large victories were mostly when we were defending fortresses
we need many soldiers and fire power if we are to attack the wae army and defeat them
but we dont have enough soldiers or fire power to do that yet
it will take quite a bit of time for that
we have to be prudent
if we make a wrong more we could face a greater crisis since there arent many ming soldiers
councilor it's too soon
we should be fully prepared
it would be wise to wait for the right time
councilor a truce could be achieved if we just stall like this
do you want to let the wae army just leave when they plundered our people?
this is so frustrating
it makes me doubt whenever i see you hesitate
do you want a truce?
councilor
if you dont want to be misunderstood like that show a will to fight against the wae army
a strong will and a victory are useless if there isnt enough power to support it
reckless courage is foolish
councilor
it's not a matter for us to discuss by ourselves
let's ask the generals at the front line if we can defeat the wae army or not
do you really think we can defeat the wae army on our own?
i think it's possible
one mistake could result in another crisis
if we miss the chance a truce could be achieved
song yingchang lost his position
the new chief administrator is staying in yodong
listen
father-in-law is frustrated too
the ming army isnt going to make a move
if we dont make a move the wae army wont leave
many generals want to fight
i respect the chief state councilor but he cant always be right
the second state councilor is right this time
sir
it seems like most of the generals agree with the second state councilor
that must be why he was so confident
this isnt good
do you think i want to let the wae army stay here?
i'm sure the generals want to fight them
but they cant let their emotions control them
if you dont do anything the second state councilor and the generals will make an appeal
his majesty was always firm about this
i'm worried he'll go along with them
we have a chance of winning?
without the help of the ming army?
that's right
the ming army commanded the joseon army
you know they interfered veverytime we tried to fight
dont just send mugunsa to recruit and train soldiers
think of it as establishing a foundation to create an army to attack the wae army
if we defeat the wae army on our own you will remain in history as a king who
overcame a crisis without the help of ming
you will be revered for generations to come
your majesty yun dusu and the mini -ster of war are thinking dangerously
do you think we cant defeat the wae army?
the ming army isnt doing anything in yodong
if we just sit around and the emperor accepts a surrender
the wae army will be sent away
how am i supposed to handle all the disappointment from the people?
why do you only think of that?
what was the reason you didnt want to send the crown prince to hasamdo?
werent you worried the people would follow him if bunjo was created again?
you're going to send him in charge of the mugunsa
if mugunsa is going to be raised as an army to attack the wae army and
the crown prince defeats them
it wont be you who overcomes this crisis
it will be the crown prince
do you see that now?
did you want to see me?
the second state councilor and the minister of war came to see me last night
did you hear my opinion too?
yes it's too early to attack the wae army so you want to wait for the right time?
that's right
which opinion do you agree with?
i'd like to attack the wae army right away
but i dont think it's the right time yet
we are fighting in place of ming
there isnt a justification to fight without the ming army
i'm sure it would be a burden for you if mugunsa led by the crown prince became powerful
limit mugunsa to recruiting soldiers and training well
have yun dusu and lee hangbok fulfill their duties at mugunsa
you want me to kick them off the court?
