The Jingbirok a memoir of imjin war
first i'm appointing toyotomi hideyoshi as the king of japan
second i will not accept tributary offerings
third the japanese army in joseon will withdraw from joseon
what? that's it? what about the land allotment?
there is nothing about that
maeda they're playing with me right?
do you think i'm crazy about being a king?
i can be the king without an installation by the emperor of ming
you
do you want another fight?!
konishi what's going on?
you said they promised land for me to rule!
well...that's what i heard
i'm not sure what happened
i stopped the war and waited for long
this is the result?
konishi take your own life!
your majesty this letter has nothing to do with the peace talks i was carrying out
there must have been a misunderstanding by my assistant
who are you trying to blame?
you plotted something with ming because you didnt want to fight
you! i ought to...
your majesty!
please calm down!
let go! let go of me!
please calm down
i'm going to kill them both! let go of me!
your majesty!
you! let go of me!
let go! let go of me
what are you going to do now?
what can i do?
if he tells me to take my life i'll have to
you might have to take that order,but i cant die here
you want to be a coward and live by yourself?
even if you return to ming,all that awaits you is death!
that's my problem
find me a boat
a boat? forget that
i'm under house arrest! how can i find a boat?
oh the joseon escorts who came with me have a boat
you did a good job
i will never forget all the efforts you made to achieve a truce
i hope nothing happens to yous
Ooh! Ooh!
ming didnt show any intention of meeting any conditions that i suggested
this is contempt!
am i supposed to be patient after being humiliated like this?
you shouldnt be patient
it isnt just contempt for you
japan shed a lot of war and used much silver for this war
if it ends without any fruits,the soldiers who return wont have
anything for their families and the landowners wont be rewarded
they wont be happy and it will lead to a rebellion
you have to invade joseon again and take possession
that is the only way to please everyone
probably
there are two problems though
one is military rations
another is yi sunsin who is defending the ocean
without solving these two problems,we will face difficulties again
right we couldnt possess the grain belt jeolla-do and yisunsin was a headache
find a way maeda!
understood
what should i do about konishi?
he knows joseon too well
it would be a waste to just kill him
give him a task
if he cant solve it kill him but if he can solve it give him another chance
a task...you mean eliminate yi sunsin?
yes
do you think konishi could do that?
yi sunsin?
yes
this is the last chance for you and your family to survive
you're not confident of doing that?
no no i will eliminate him
sir!
what's all the commotion?
it's a report that toyotomi hideyoshi might attack again
its a report by hwang shin who went with shen weijing as an escort
hideyoshi didnt accept the installation
he was in rage and tried to kill us and the ming envoys
he is definitely going to invade us again
we must be prepared
sir...
they're going to attack again?
how can this be?
when are they coming? how large is the army?
shouldnt we ask the ming army to come?
your majesty
i said we couldnt let the wae army just return
but i hoped the war would end
they're going to attack again...
dont be just disappointed
we expected it and made preparations
we wont be helpless like we were duting the last invasion
please be strong
i should be
i wont have to take royal refuge again will i?
your majesty
it's better this way
we can repay them for all the humiliation we suffered
send soldiers to hasamdo
we should take busanpo and make sure that wae soldiers never set foot
on our land again
do you think we dont want revenge?
the wae army will be better prepared too
we have to be cool-headed about this
that's right
if we send the central army and things go wrong
we wont have anyone to guard the capital
i'm just saying we should annihilate the enemy before they land and get into formation
that is the best way
that makes sense
sinking them at sea would be the best way
that's right we have yi sunsin
yi sunsin can stop them at sea
meanwhile the ming army and our soldiers can defend hasamdo
that's right we were invaded by surprise and you had to take royal refuge before
but we have enough military rations to feed our soldiers and the ming army
it's worth a fight!
you're all taking it too easy
what do you mean?
we need to have a will to annihilate them in the beginning
do you think the enmy wont think about our position?
the wae army suffered with two problems
they couldnt possess jeolla-do and yi sunsin defended the ocean well
if i was the head of the enemy's army without solving those two problems
i wouldnt make an invasion
yi sunsin wont be defeated easily,but if they come by land and a large army attacks jeolla-do
it wont be easy to defend against them
we have to harvest all the crops in the fields and defend the fortress with a sit-in
we'll have to do our best to stop the wae army from attacking jeolla-do
but if they do we will have to use that strategy
sit its won gyun
come in
you came a long way
i heard wae could attack again
i came to discuss that with you
what do you think?
do you think we could defeat them?
we didnt have our guard up when they invaded the last time
are we prepared this time?
yes we can defeat them
wouldnt it be best to stop them at sea before they land?
of course
but i'm worried about yi sunsin
why?
you know
he's so prudent he's almost passive
when he went to help right gyeongsang he went after some time passed
he waited during the jangmunpo battle too
i'm worried about that too
even if an order is given,he trusts his judgment and makes arbitrary decisions
can you put me in charge of the naval forces?
a general should have the courage to jump into a fire if an order is given
yi sunsin doesnt have that courage but i do
i know that
it seems like you have too many ill feelings toward yi sunsin
a desire to achieve merit and a will to win makes a general stronger
restore me the naval forces
if you do,i will sink the wae soldier before they set foot on our land
we're in trouble
preparations were made but we cant stop them?
i'll send a letter to the righteous troops to help the government army
it might not be that helpful
it could have a reverse effect
it would be better if you dont send it
what do you mean?
his majesty killed kim deokryeong
if you were in the righteous groups how would you feel about a letter from
such a king and the crown prince?
the righteous troops will rise to protect their hometowns so dont worry
you should worry more about westerners like yun dusu
what is that supposed to mean?
when this war is over,his majesty will hold the court leaders responsible
then ryu seongryong and easterners...
who will you use when that happens?
you have to make preparations
listen we're at war do i have to go that far?
war already took place
use it
i'm going to forget i heard that
what's going on?
shen weijing is saying that toyotomi hideyoshi was happy about the installation
joseon is saying he refused and he is going to attack again
who is telling me the truth?
welll...wouldnt the report from an envoy that we sent be the truth?
is that so?
minister
yes your majesty
shen weijing is from your mistress's hometown?
yes...
this happened because you embrace him for being from the same hometown
come in!
you saw everything
which report is right?
joseon's report is right
your majesty something has to be wrong!
there is no way toyotomi hideyoshi wouldnt accept the installation
minister
yes your majesty
i'm not interested in national affairs
that doesnt mean you can play me!
your majesty!
look here!
put them in prison right now!
yes your majesty!
your majesty! your majesty!
toyotomi hideyoshi wants a fight huh?
konishi
did you find a way to spare your life?
yes there's a solution
there is?
i'll be the one to judge whether it's a solution or not
fine let's hear it
i'll use an estrangement strategy
to eliminate yi sunsin
an estrangment strategy?
i got to know many joseon officials while i was in joseon
so?
i will tel one of them that one of our generals will go to seosanegpo on a certain date
you'll lure yi sunsin to battle and then attack?
no he wouldnt appear just from hearing this information
he is a very cautious person
so why use such bait?
if he doesnt show up,the king and court wont be happy
the joseon king wont be happy if
he misses an opportunity to attack us?
that's right
he will be removed from his position in the least
what do you think?
you have a long life!
fine it's a good plan
thank you your majesty
who will you use as bait?
let me use kato!
kato?
if yi sunsin shows up kato will be killed
he wont show up
i can guarantee it
i know the two of you dont get along but this is too much
but it's a gamble with a person's life
it will be tense and fun
kato's life depends on yi sunsin!
maeda gather all the generals
yes your majesty
your swords are rusty arent they?
i'm sure you know,but i didnt want this war to last longer
too many soldiers were sacrificed and our people are suffering because of this war
but we shed a lot of blood in joseon over the past 5 years
if it has to end without gaining any land all the blood that was shed would be meaningless!
i made a decision
i'm going to reward you for everything you suffered until now
there is no truce we will attack joseon again!
is anyone against that?
there's no need to be afraid
i'm going to listen to your opinions
i'm touched that you made such a decision for us landowners
we will abide by your decision!
we will abide it!
good
reorganize the army
the leader of division 1 will be kato
be the first to land at seosaengpo of ulsanseong!
your majesty...
did you think i abandoned you?
yes i did
you've known me since you were little
once i give my affection,i trust that person to the end
you were the first to worry about me during the last earthquake
you're like my son
your majesty! i will,no,i swear that even my descendants will be loyal to you!
ishida
yes
announce the leaders
division 2 konishi yukinaga
division 3 kuroda nagamasa
division 4 nabeshima naoshige
division 8 mori hidemoto
ukita hideie will be in charge of the left and right forces
it will be an army of 140000
there is one other thing
there will be no truce no matter what
the people to be killed arent just the joseon soldiers and ming soldiers
include all the people of joseon!
it will be difficult to send the heads of our enemy
cut off their noses and send them by preserving them in salt and lime
there is one exception
capture potters alive
weavers too
capture anyone who has skills that would be useful in japan understood?
yes!
make preparations and be ready to go when my order is given!
busanpo japanese army camp
when will there be a full attack?
after yi sunsin is eliminated
who will you use?
what about yoshira and kim eungseo the commander-in-chief of right gyeongsang-do
yes they have a good relationship
if yoshira tells kim eungseo that kato is coming he will tell gwon yul
the king of joseon will find out too
that's right
harvest the crops and defend with a sit-in...
it's not a new strategy but...
it's the most appropriate strategy
i think so too
but the best way is to guard jeolla -do without using that strategy
sure
i'll go and check out the camp in jeolla-do
you should do that
sir!
kim eungseo sent a message
kato kiyomasa is going to come to seosaengpo with a large army soon
what? already?
where did he get this information?
konishi yukinaga gave this information?
yes your majesty
why would he?
i cant believe it
your majesty everyone knows that konishi yukinaga and kato kiyomasa hate each other
konishi wanted to end this war with a truce
he seems sure there wont be a war if we can defeat kato at sea
he doesnt seem to be wrong
if we can sink the advance party at sea...
victory will be ours
that's right your majesty
your majesty we have to be careful
if it's a strategy to lure us our naval forces will suffer much damage
a strategy to lure us?
yes
the first obstacle for them will be yi sunsin
we know that and so does our enemy
we cant just trust the information sent by the leader of our enemies
but if it's true,we could miss a great opportunity just because we're suspicious
i know that
i'm just saying we should be careful since it's such an important matter
it's a chance given by heaven
our formers kings are watching over us
what are you doing?
go to the border defense council and discuss it
we have to attack kato kiyomasa
if we miss the timing our land will be filled with corpses again
if this is a trap,our naval forces will suffer great damage
even if it's a trap,the answer is simple
is it better that only the naval forces suffer or should the entire country suffer damage?
that's not right
if our naval forces fall,a firm defense line will fall
i agree
it wouldnt be an exaggeration to say that the naval forces led by yi sunsin is half our army
we have to be careful
people will think yi sunsin is the only protector of this country
how about this?
tell kim eungseo to send a spy to the wae camp and check things out
meanwhile send an order to yi sunsin and have him stand by to go to battle
if konishi's information is true he can attack kato right away
that sounds like a good idea
even so i'm worried
if they planned this in detail we wont be able to find out if it's true or not
hansando naval headquarters of three provinces
no way!
no matter how much they hate each other he wouldnt kill friendly forces to end the war
even a 3-year-old would know this is a trap
that's right
it's a plan to eliminate you and our naval forces
whatever it is we can just crush them
even if they set a trap for us they wont be able to beat our firepower
how frustrating
they were defeated by us a lot
would they carry out such a plan without making any preparations?
just ignore it
i can ignore the information but i cant ignore an order by his majesty and the court
it's an order to stand by,not an order to go to battle
i'm sure kato will cross the ocean
they're giving up an arm to win this war
his majesty and the court are already inclined in believing this is a chance
to end this war
then his majesty will order an attack
what will we do?
that's what konishi is aiming for
me
kato left nagoya
right on time
yoshitoshi do you want to make a bet?
do you think yi sunsin will appear?
dont you think he'll show up this time?
yeah? well...
i'll bet that he doesnt come
how can you be so sure?
do you know what his fault is?
i'll tell you
he doesnt go to battle unless he is sure of a victory
there's one more thing
he fears unnecessary sacrifices of his men
read it
i'm the commander-in-chief of right gyeongsang-do kim eungseo
i checked out the enemy camp
as of january 4 kato kiyomasa was in tsushima with an army of 7000
he will arrive in seosaengpo soon
the information we received has been confirmed
you should give yi sunsin the order
order yi sunsin to sink the advance party that crosses the ocean
tell him not to spare a single vessel!
sir!
an order has been given to go to battle
year 1597
koichi
yes
when i return to the main land on this boat
i will be holding the head of the king of joseon
i hope that happenes
for sure!
sir...
we cant wait any longer
sir
i know it's a trap
i cant sacrifice our soldiers
we wont go to battle
sir! it's an order by his majesty
ukita i'm back as the leader of the first division
i'm glad you're back!
kato congratulations on your return
dont say things you dont mean!
no no i'm very happy that you crossed the ocean safely
kato! i'm glad you're back
yi sunsin...
is he crazy?
this was a perfect chance
did you relay the order?
yes your majesty
yi sunsin is way too arrogant
it ruined the fate of our nation
remove him from his position and have him transferred to the capital
yes your majesty
disobeying your order like this is a crime of betraying the king and a crime of letting the enemy go
he must not be forgiven
your majesty yi sunsin is an extraordinary admiral
there must have been a reason
you can send someone to investigate then discuss this matter again
that's right
if you punish him now our naval forces will fall
eliminating yi sunsin will benefit the wae army
your majesty please calm down and find out why he didnt obey the order
there isnt a general who achieved as much merit as yi sunsin
he will achieve as much merit in the future too
please consider that
what are you talking about?
he was arrogant about his merits and disobeyed an order by his majesty!
this isnt the first time
he didint go to mugunsa when the crown prince called
he held a national exam at his camp
now he is receiving tolls from boats with an excuse it's to distinguish enemy vessels
i dont care how many lives he has
this time he wont be able to avoid punishment
minister we let all that go because of the situations at his camp
that's why things ended up like this
if we punished him then,he wouldnt have disobeyed his majesty's order!
chief councilor why arent you saying anything?
you recommended yi sunsin
say something
your majesty i know yi sunsin well
he wouldnt act with arrogance just because he achieved much merit
he knows that his life couldnt be spared if he disobeyed your order
disobeying your order despite that must mean there was an unavoidable reason
please look into it before punishing him
is that so?
i know him as well as you too
he doesnt consider me as a king
the people consider him to be a hero
he considers himself to be a king!
transport him to the capital right away!
