The Jingbirok a memoir of imjin war
i will make them return to the court
you?
yes
it seems wisest to have the crown prince comfort them
fine this happened because of you
settle this matter
i will be sure to bring them back
there is one condition
the seal? i will give it back to you
it isnt the seal
then what do you want?
send an envoy to ming and have
the emperor appoint me as the crown prince!
send an envoy to appoint you as the crown prince?
what's the use of being a crown prince only in appearance?
is this your idea?
i'm only trying to solve this problem
you've grown a lot
councilor what do you think?
if we werent at war,an envoy should have already been sent
fine i will do that
thank you your majesty
then i will go
hon
do you think i hate you?
you are gongbin's son i lover her
dont misunderstand
his majesty really approved?
yes
i'm surprised
i thought it would take some time
do you think he has other intentions?
it didnt seem so
he seemed sorry
what? is this true?
i must have misunderstood him a lot
i dont know what you heard,but you cant relax
nobody can tell what his majesty is thinking
anyway he is sending an envoy
that is good
with ming's appointment,you will be the ruler of tomorrow
tell me what you want
first restore the statues of the northerners who were sacrificed during the prison incident
restore their statuses?
you could ask ryu seongryong
southerners and northerners share the same roots
we shared the same roots
but ryu seongryong and the southerners are opperssing us we cant stand them
they turned their backs on lee sanhae and were mean to northerners when making promotions
look around
there arent many northerners in high positions
we dont like their attitude regarding the war against wae
do they want to fight or not? we cant tell
with this being the situation how can northerners and southerners share the same roots?
ryu seongryong is our enemy
understood when i'm installed by ming i will deal with that matter first
thank you crown prince
his majesty wouldnt approve of an envoy
he really has no ill feelings toward the crown prince?
it seems like he never had any ill feelings toward the crown prince
he only put up his gaurd against the public sentiments that were inclining to the crown prince
all the more reason he wouldnt send an envoy
the people will welcome it even more
would his majesty send an envoy knowing that?
what? is this true?
he probably agreed since ming wont appoint him as the crown prince
the emperor is delaying the installment of a crown prince because he wants
lady zheng's son zhu changxun to become the crown prince instead of the eldest zhu changluo
he wont install the crown prince of joseon first?
ming also gives first priority to the eldest son
it wont be easy to receive approval
i feel sorry for the crown prince
he must have high expectations
shouldnt we tell him?
we cant do that
yu join's faction might plot something
just let it be
you know the court cant be divided over this
if the crown prince doesnt take responsibility the second state councilor will have to
that cant be helped either
it wont be bad to step down for a while in this situation
sir...
i was going to hold the crown prince responsible and keep you by my side
i dont know what to say
oh no
you cant compare him to me
it doesnt matter what happens to me,but the crown prince has to remain in his place
no matter what anyone says,you are a truly loyal servant
if yi sunsin fought properly,i would be rewarding you
what happened?
it's all because i'm lacking
your majesty watch yi sunsin carefully
what do you mean?
he is a great general
but he seems to be overconfident
understood
it isnt completely the second state councilor's fault
if gwon yul and yi sunsin carried out the order it could have been a huge victory
your majesty kim deokryeong was able to land because yi sunsin sunk two japanese vessels
how can you say he had no intention of fighting?
are you saying i'm making things up?
the vessels he sunk were empty
this is a report from won gyun
he saw and heard everything because he attacked from the side
councilor am i wrong?
won gyun did fight in battle
that report cant be totally wrong
if they went closer to land and shot cannons the righteous troops could have defeated
the wae soldiers with more ease
the wae army has cannons they seized from the ming army and our army
if they went close to land,our naval forces would have been annihilated
some damage has to be accepted when making an attack
why do you embrace yi sunsin so much?
your majesty
never mind i'm going to let it go since i didnt give the order this time but i wont let it go if it happens again
i know what your intentions were
but since the ministers appealed
you will have to take responsibility and step down for a while
since the crown prince has been cleared i could die now without any regrets
you can go now
yun dusu took responsibility for the battle and stepped down as the second state councilor
the jangmunpo battle was one that caused suspicion against yi sunsin
seonjo sent an envoy to ming to have the crown prince installed
but as he expected it was delayed since the installation of the crown prince in ming
was more of an urgent problem
you dont have to comfort me
i heard you knew this would be the result
if you gave me a hint,i wouldnt have had futile expectations
i'm upset
if i told you then would you have gone to convince the ministers to return?
i only wanted to prevent division of the court
i told you before
no matter what anyone says,you will be the next ruler of this country
you cant divide the court by associating with narrow-minded people who only care for
their own personal benefits
is everyone who feels sorry for me narrow-minded
and everyone who works for his majesty wise men?
why are you saying that?
you can go
hansando naval headquarters of three provinces
as the naval commander of the three provinces you didnt show any intention of defeating
the enemy i'm very disappointed with that
if you continue to act like that how will our enemies be defeated?
dont lose your anger against wae
sharpen your sword and prepare
this is all because of won gyun's report
how can he do this to you?
you cant let him do this
he is dividing the naval forces
you should call him and reprimand him
forget it leave me
no
if you let this go it will become an obstacle in carrying out future strategies
we have to join all our forces
if we have internal problems like this how can we guarantee that our ocean be protected in the future?
that's right
you cant let this go
it isnt a matter that only concerns you
Did you want to see me? Won Gyun(commander of right gyeongsang)
hello
why are you drinking by yourself?
i should have brought a gisaeng
have a drink
are you upset about something?
i received a letter from his majesty
you did? regarding what?
he reprimanded me saying i had no intention of fighting against the wae army
is that so?
his majesty doesnt seem to know the situation here
dont stack it up inside
he knew the situation here too well
in a distorted manner
you should stop now
what? is this true? you can take all the heads of the enemies
you can make reports exaggerating your merits too
but dont do anything to divide the naval forces
what are you...
commander
we fought in battle all our lives
as long as the wae army is building fortresses and staying here in joseo
even a low-ranking official would know the naval forces alone cant attack them
sending a report that our camp showed no intention of fighting is
an act of humiliating the naval forces and diving them
i know you have ill feelings against me but you cant do this when
the wae army is right in front of us
llisten it's true that you didnt fight aggressively at jangmunpo
a general who receives an order should follow it even if it will lead to a wrong result
you didnt show any intention of fighting because you thought the order was wrong
the general on site knows the situation best
would you let your followers all die knowing the enemy set a trap?
how can you know if we will die or if the enemy will die?
only heaven knows the answer to that
dont use sophistry to me
if only heaven knows,why should generals study military strategy
and why should soldiers be trained?
i'm going to let it go this time
but if you ever do something like this again
i will consider you to be an enemy like the wae soldiers
are you threatening me?
i'm sure you're not afraid of anything since ryu seongryong is controlling the court
just to listen you.leave
it's serious
everyone knows yi sunsin and won gyun dont get along
if he is saying that its a really serious problem
we should all join forces
we cant have internal disputes
this is a tough problem
yes it is
i'd like to spilt them up
yi sunsin is the naval commander of the three provinces
he cant be removed
if we assign won gyun to another post the councilor will be criticized for favoring yi sunsin
that's true
i should ask his majesty to appoint
won gyun as the chungcheong military commander
that's a good idea
there wont be a misunderstanding then
thank you even if his majesty doesnt
the second minister-without-portfolio wont be happy with that
i followed my convictions when i abided by
his wishes last time i'm only doing the same now
i should go
this is why i like my son-in-law!
please appoint won gyun as the chungcheong military commander
the tables were turned because of yi sunsin's merits
there cant be trouble in the command structure for the sake of our army's morale
you should reassign won gyun
understood
won gyun had conflicts with yi sunsin
he was appointed as the chungcheong military commander
yun dusu was removed from office and easterners centering around ryu seongryong had control of the court
that probably influenced this decision
still even if seonjo had doubts about yi sunsin's will to fight
he believed in his skils and trusted them
busanpo japanese army camp
how long do we have to sit here?
the joseon army keeps attacking
we cant fight because of the truce
this is absurd
kato isnt wrong
i'm being patient since i said i'd wait
but if the truce isnt achieved and the ming army attacks
we'll end up being fools
ukita just wait a little while longer
there will be a good result
a good result?
what do you think a good result is?
never mind about receiving land to rule
you just want to get home safely
maybe you didnt request land
did you just sent envoys to surrender?
what are you talking about?
ming is putting us down too much and stalling too long with the talks
it would be better to make a deal with joseon
fool
dont you know joseon has no power?
you're overstimating ming
the people who live on the land are the owners
your head isnt just for waring a helmet
think a bit with it
if ming thought joseon was their land,shen weijing wouldnt have accepted our offer
he accepted it because they thought it was someone else's land
dont just eat with your head
study a bit
joseon was ruled by yuan and ming since the goryeo period
they recognize that
that's why even the king has to get approval from the ming emperor!
stop it
i'm tired of your fighting
kato if you dont have a better idea,just be quiet and wait
why do you always side with konishi?
leave
konishi dares to lecture me just because he studied a bit?
koichi
yes
this wont do i should show the retired regent and ukita that i can do this
hm...do what?
peace talks
kato kiyomasa really sent this letter?
yes
he wants to hold peace talks
he must think shen weijing and konishi yukinaga are stalling too much
what do you think?
achieve a truce with wae?
it makes me mad that shen weijing wants to achieve a truce there's no way
just ignore him
i should meet him
you want to achieve a truce?
i'm not saying we should seek a truce
i'm saying we should break the truce negotiation
break the truce?
yes he wanted to meet us in secret
that's going behind konishi yukinaga's back
he doesnt want him to achieve merits
pretend to hold peace talks and distance kato kiyomasa and konishi yukinaga?
that's right
we can also find out the conditions of the truce they are trying to achieve
fine
who should we send from our court?
buddhist priest samyeong met him in hamgyeong-do
how about sending him?
that's a good idea do that
ulsanseong
hello
it's been a while
i didnt think joseon would agree so easily
i'm surprised
the court wasnt happy that talks were being held without the owner of the land
they accepte your proposal and sent me here
is that so?
konishi is so wishy-washy
i cant trust him
joseon should talk with me from now on
i'm a general who represents japan
understood
konishi is the one who provoked
our retired regent and caused this invasion
i'm not like him
i dont like war
you know that since we had talks in hamgyeong-do right?
sure go ahead and tell me your conditions
these are the conditions our retired regent
demanded to konishi and shen weijing
send a prince to our main land and allot a fourth of the land south of hangang
for us to rule
listen that's absurd
how its absurd?
we withdrew from hanyang and returned the land north of hangang
we shed much blood in joseon
shouldnt something come out of that?
fine i will relay this to the court
thank you
if the truce is achieved,i will give much silver as an offering
if you just leave i will pray for your next life
what?
kato!
did you drink in the middle of the day?
are you crazy?
what?
i'm holding peace talks with ming
how can you talk with joseon?
oh that? you werent showing any progress
that's why i took action
does it matter who achieves the truce?
do you think i dont know what your intentions are?
you're interfering with my work and trying to steal my merits
dont misunderstand
i only wanted to help you get back home
if my talks succeed before yours,you'll have to thank me
right koichi?
let's settle this today
we cant fight together
my sentiments exactly
come on!
stop it right now!
lower your swords
if you dont
i will kill you both
what? allot land to rule?
that is the condition that shen weijing and konishi yukinaga demanded?
yes
it's not even worth a discussion
it's a good thing that konishi yukinaga and kato kiyomasa became hostile
good job
i cant believe land was the condition for the truce with ming
dont worry too much
we know their secret agreement now
we can take preventive measures
the ming court wont be able to accept this
no no they want us to divide the country and have separate rules
we dont know how will they answer
what will we do?
how about ordering yi sunsin to attack again?
you already expreienced the result
if the ming armty doesnt attack on land the naval forces cant defeat the enemy
yi sunsin is a great general
tell him to use cannons or land
just tell him to fight
please calm down
if we do that the ming army will pressure our court again
the emperor wont allow allotment of our land
buddha will look over us
dont worry too much
your majesty shen weijing arrived in the capital
shen weijing?
wasnt he sent to prison?
he was released he's here as an envoy
then the emperor approved?
did you say the emperor accepted the surrender?
that's rights
he accepted the surrender and decided to end the war with japan
you mean he approved of giving away our land?
what are you talking about?
give away what land?
Look here! do you think we dont know that you sought a truce with
our land as a condition?
you are truly wicked
you said they were envoys who were going to surrender
but they went offering land
How did you...
you're going to enter the enemy camp with that proposal?
if you do you will die the moment you leave this place
no traces of you will be found
what on earth are you talking about?
i dont know how you found out about that
it's true that we discussed it
but it was only to deceive toyotomi hideyoshi
the japanese envoys only surrendered
can you swear on your life?
i will swear on the emperor's order
then why would the emperor and the ming court accept surrender?
toyotomi hideyoshi is going to be appointed as the king of japan
the emperor is going to accept wae as a feudal nation?
that's right but for the sake of joseon he wont accept tributary offerings
what are you talking about?
appointing toyotomi hideyoshi as a king means he will treat wae equal to joseon
that's absurd!
are you criticizing the emperor?
that's not what i'm saying
we're fighting wae in place of ming
i cant believe he would appoint the head of our enemy as a king
you wont recognize the truce?
let me give you some advice for the sake of joseon
due to war and famine the people of joseon have nothing to eat
they'll have to eat human flesh
is it right to continue a war in a situation like this?
i can understand you want enemy
but if you are a ruler who cares for his people you should take care of the people first
and seek revenge later
one more thing
ming is in no situation to provide more soldiers and military rations
joseon has no power
but expects the ming army to continue fighting
it's so pathetic
if you're blinded by revenge and dont make plans to enhance your power
the country will fall
look here!
are you showing contempt to his majesty?
i told you it's advice
the emperor made his decision
you should send an envoy to thank him
for ending the war
i will head to the south coast to have the rest of the wae army withdraw
how did it go?
what shen weijing said was true
lee jongseong and yang banghyeong already left beijing
we have to let the wae army leave without getting revenge?
the truce might not be achieved
what do you mean?
shen weijing said the land deal was only to deceive toyotomi hideyoshi
toyotomi hideyoshi told his army to go south because of that deal
shen weijing probably had them just surrender knowing the emperor
wouldnt accept the land deal
the emperor is going to appoint him as king without knowing about the land deal?
it was just a means to end the war?
that's the only way i see it
that makes sense
if toyotomi hideyoshi rejects the envoys who dont bring back a land deal
he could start another war?
it will be one of two things
the wae army's situation isnt good so he could just accept being king
or he could make another invasion
1595 nagoya
mitsuki
yes your majesty
why did i say i liked flowers more than people?
because flowers know when they look bad and wither on their own
that's right
mitsuki is better than all of you
your majesty it's not fair
Dont doubt my loyalty Toyotomi Hidetsugu
i want to trust you i did trust you
that's why i left all the decisions to you
i was going to have hiroimaru marry your daughter
but the situation tells everything
you plotted a rebellion
your majesty it's a conspiracy
a conspiracy?
ishida he's saying it's a conspiracy
what do you think?
this is a letter hidetsugu sent to those landowners
it's full of complaints about this war and about you
it's not true i didnt write this
you didnt write it?
can you swear?
i swear!
then it's really a conspiracy
maeda who is conspiring against him?
you know dont you?
if there is anyone who would conspire against him there is only one person
who is it?
it would be you!
me?
right you're so smart
who else would dare to conspire against him?
hidetsugu it was me
i conspired against you
your majesty...
what will i do?
am i to die for conspiring against you?
should i take my life?
no
you wouldnt conspire against me
i was wrong
hidetsugu you did everything you should,return to mt.koya
reflect on your sins and take your life
are you going to kill my entire family?
i have no choice
i have one last request
please spare my daughter
you loved her a lot
okay
flowers,people...everything is in vain
goodbye hidetsugu
are you saying there could be another war if toyotomi hideyoshi rejects the envoys?
there is a possibility
wouldnt it be better that he's appointed as king?
there cant be another war
we can go through that again
it would be better to achieve a truce
a truce? what are you talking about?
they dug up the graves of our former kings and slaughtered our people
there will never be a truce
your majesty most of the ming army returned to yodong
we cant defeat the enemy on our own
i'm going to get revenge
i will get revenge no matter what
i'm glad you came
did you discuss any means?s
yes we discussed it with the chief state councilor
we found 2 ways
one way to save the starving people is to nurturea powerful army
so we should produce salt and rice in mass
that's a matter of course
but how are we to do that on land that became barren due to war?
this is the solution to that
understood what is the other way?
it's a practical way to supplement the army
the central army is nurturing talented soldiers through the military training command
but the regional areas have armies consisting of weak and poor common people
to have a truly powerful army,we will have to establish sogogun
for anyone with potential to become a soldier regardless of their social statues
Sogogun:Mixed army of high and low class people
all grown men must be allowed to serve regardless of their social statues
