The Jingbirok a memoir of imjin war
your majesty yi sunsin is an extraordinary admiral
there must have been a reason
what are you talking about?
he was arrogant about his merits and disobeyed an order by his majesty!
this isnt the first time
he didnt 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!
yi sunsin will come out and receive a royal order!
what's going on?
its an order by his majesty to transport yi sunsin to the state tribunal
sir...
take him away!
you cant do this!
it will be the end for this country without him
are you really the state tribunal offcials?
are you pirates in disguise?
step back!
step back
sir...
sir!
protect our ocean with your lives even if i'm not here
is that understood?
yes sir...
let's go
remove his uniform an take him away
sir...
sir!
won gyun the commadner-in-chief of jeolla?
yes he is the only person to defene the ocean at a critical time like this
yi sunsin and won gyun are compared a lot
councilor what do you think?
yi sunsin is defintely a talented admiral
but won gyun is upright and has great courage
he achieved quite a bit of merit too
he is perfectly capable of defending the ocean
won gyun is loyal to command and discipline
unlike yi sunsin if you gave the order he would jump into hell's fire
put him in charge of the naval headquarters
fine i'll appoint him as the naval commander of the three provinces
sir!
sir the naval commander is being transported to hanyang
won gyun is going to be appointed as the new naval commander
are you just going to sit by and watch?
if you do he will die
it's true
they should kill wae soldiers not a hero of this country
kim deokryeong was killed if yi sunsin is killed too
is his majesty going to fight by himself?
let's go
let go of me!
i said let's go
you cant go!
admiral!
look who's here
it's the former naval commander
look here
he might be a criminal,but you shouldnt treat a former hero in this manner
release him and take him in a comfortable manner
i cant it's a royal order
oh dear
how did you end up like this?
i told you before
if a general is given an order,he has to obey it no matter what
i have a favor to ask
please take good care of my officers and soldiers and be sure to defend our ocean
i will do that
thank you good luck
goodbye
he's worrying about his soldiers?
busanpo japanese army camp
yi sunsin was eliminated yi sunsin!
good goood good it was a great plan
if feels like a fishbone stuck in my throat was finally removed
it's more than a fishbone
it feels like a tiger that was blocking our way was killed
right he's a tiger we eliminated a joseon tiger
now that the ocean is open it will be a piece of cake to take joseon
that's right
we should report to the retired regent
right
konishi!
what is it?
i heard how dare you use me as bait?
dont get excited
it all turned out well
you didnt get hurt and yi sunsin was eliminated
what?
konishi i'm asking you
i cant live under the same sky as you
let's settle this outside
whoever it is only one of us should live
kato!
what if the retired regent knew about this?
what? the retired regent?
stop talking nosense
he thinks of me as his son
he wouldnt use me as bait!
is that so? then ask him yourself
if he didnt know about this,i'll accept your challenge without a fuss
he wouldnt...
listen
he does think of you as his son
you're a son but one who was abandoned
no he wouldnt do that to me
he said i was like his own son
you cant go in
there was a royal order not to let anyone in
please it wont take long
you cant
stop being so mean
the chief state councilor is asking
sir he'll have my head cut off
i have no choice
i'll make sure your life is spared
crown prince...
let us talk to him
crown prince...
if you are reprimanded say i went in to give him a warm meal
i cant...
i know your face
will you do it?
i'm sorry
for what?
i asked for this
i knew this would happen
i know
what should i do?
you know the reason his majesty wants to kill me
you also know nothing will change even if you take action
gee...
i'm begging you
dont make any excuses to save me
you must not
am i to just watch you die?
whether i die or not isnt up to his majesty
it's up to won gyun
if he defends the ocean you will die
if he cant defend the ocean you will live?
even if i dont survive,if won gyun defends the ocean i could want nothing more
yeohae... (Yi sunsin's pen name)
i'm asking you
dont take any action
this country wont be able to rise again without you
jaejosanha...
you cant die before then (recreate the country)
dont forget
you should go now
it's going to be a tough torture
probably
i'm just worried about my mother
if i end up dying before her please take care of her for me
march 1597
i'm going to ask one more time
why didnt you obey the order to go to battle?
i already told you it was a plot by the enemy
konishi yukinaga said kato kiyomasa would be coming on the 11th
but he already arrived in seosaengpo on the 10th
just from that even a child would know that it's a plot
that's merely the result
a difference of one day isnt important
you disobeyed a royal order because you are arrogant and think that
you dont have to obey a royal order
let me ask one thing
did you and his majesty see a wae soldier even once?
i'm sure you saw their heads,but did you see how cunning and cruel they are?
the actual situation at a battleground is very different from what you hear in court
one wrong decision by general could get thousands and tens of thousands of soldiers dead
that is why an incapable general is scarier than the enemy
i didnt disobey a royal order
i was merely concerned that our soldiers would die in vain
if that's a crime i will gladly die
you! how dare you say that his majesty tried to get all our soldies killed!
question him until he confesses properly!
yes sir!
did he confess?
he isnt admitting to his crime
hansando naval headquarters of three provines
have a drink
why does everyone look so dark?
are you unhappy that i'm the commander?
no sir
how could i be unhappy with your appointment?
as a person who served the former commander i just dont think it's appropriate to drink when
he is being tortured
what? it's not appropriate?
was i yi sunsin's subordinate?
i passed the national exam before him
he only achieved success first because he had the chief state councilor's support
that's not what he meant
forget it!
get out!
listen carefully forget about yi sunsin
from now on you are my subordinates
understood?
yes sir...
have the ministers of the two offices take action?
the ministers in court are in conflict over the matter of yi sunsin
if the ministers made appeals it would be truly helpful
you know what a loyal servant yi sunsin is he is a hero who defended this country
you said so yourself he's a truly loyal servant
he must not die
i have no power
his majesty already set his mind
it's too late to change his mind
you should just leave
i know you're not happy with me
if you help me with this matter,i will owe my life to you
i will repay you no matter what you ask
how can you say that?
is yi sunsin more important than your life?
yi sunsin is the life of this country!
i'm sorry i dont have such power
just leave
the chief state councilor is really brazen
he ignored us when we asked for help with restroring social statuses
now he wants your help?
i want to help him
what? you cant do that
ryu seongryong has no loyalty
it's not because of him
i know yi sunsin well he has no personal intentions
he is a loyal servant and a hero
he may be a loyal servant and hero to the people but not to his majesty
that's why it became a problem
no matter how loyal he is,if he isnt loyal to his majesty
it means he only cares about his country and the people
that is why his majesty wants to have yi sunsin killed
if you had to choose between me and the people who could you choose?
i would choose you even if i was stoned by the people
you have great support
forget about yi sunsin
your majesty if this torture continues,yi sunsin will die
there are many generals,but there arent many
who can save the country in critical times
you cant kill yi sunsin
it has been proven that the date konishi yukinaga told us was
different from the day kato arrived
that shows it was a plot please forgive him
how can you only talk about yi sunsin not killing kato kiyomasa?
he deserves to die because of all his arbitrary actions at his camp
that's right even if yi sunsin brings me kato kiyomasa's head i wont forgive him
your majesty that is too cruel
if it wasnt for yi sunsin,who could have defended our ocean?
if you kill him like this,the people will be truly disappointed
he is a great admiral who hasnt been defeated once
if you kill him our soldiers will losr morale and the enemy will be high in spirit
the enemy invaded us again
why do you want to benefit them?
why do you speak as if he is the only general in this country?
if generals ignore his majesty's authority because they achieved merit
there would be no discipline in this country
yi sunsin achieved merit,but he must be punished for proper discipline in our army
your majesty i'm putting my life on the line to beg you
if you must punish him do so but please dont kill him
he is a loyal servant who will give his life for our country and you some day
stop it and leave
leave!
if you ask me to step down,i will do so
you still cant help?
if i was a person who made deals,i would have used the preliminary report from lee monghak's rebellion
it might be frustrating for you,but i dont believe politics are about deals
it's about conviction
this isnt to target you and the easterners
yi sunsin went beyond his majesty's authority
sure he achieved much merit
but his majesty is this country and the law
yi sunsin was wrong
you should leave now
yeohae...
are you alright?
it hurts
yaehae...it must be hard
i begged you
why did you take action?
you would have done the same in my position
i'm not confident
i dont think i can keep the promise
i made to you
you cant do that
i'm sorry
oh...
your majesty it's time for me to step down
i'm the one who recommended yi sunsin
if he committed a crime,it's the same as me committing a crime
i would like to step down from the court
please approve of that
slow down your majesty
what's the bird cage for?
i was lonely
you were? the country was invaded again
you're so full of leisure
the bird cries clear my mind
dont reprimand me too much
the bird doesnt always make me happy
if it wakes me up,i want to kill it at times
that's cruel
you shouldnt have gotten it then
it's the same for you isnt it?
what are you talking about?
if you were going to kill him,why did you give yi sunsin such
a huge responsibility in the first place?
sometimes it gives me pleasure,but other times i wan to kill it because
it wakes me up
but i cant kill it easily because i will truly regret it when
i want to hear i sing again
that's what i'm afraid of
are you comparing that to me and yi sunsin?
did ryu seongryong tell you to ask me to save yi sunsin's life?
it's not that stop it!
your majesty
your advice was good at times but i will not forgive yi sunsin!
your majesty! your majesty!
she said to tell you she was sorry
he wont even listen to her?
will yi sunsin really have to die like this?
did you want to see me?
you want to resign?
are you saying there's no reason to stay by my side if i kill yi sunsin?
how could i dare side with a criminal?
i just dont think i qualify to serve you because all this is my fault
the war isnt over yet!
you made me carry out all sorts of reform and you want to leave in such an irresponsible manner?
i wont allow it
take full responsibility until the war is over
your majesty do you trust me?
i'm telling you to stay because i trust you
then why dont you trust yi sunsin?
if he started a rebellion like lee monghak,i will be the first to kill him
you dont trust me or yi sunsin
you only keep or abandon people according to your needs
i will be a traitor for recommending a traitor
that is why i want to leave
jeong tak submitted an appeal that puts his life on the line
your majesty i'm begging you
as mentioned before,yi sunsin committed a serious crime
a general can be killed,but this concerns the safety of our country
it truly concerns me
please be generous like a father scolding his child with a cane
if you give him a chance to achieve merit,he will be truly grateful
he will repay you with his life some day
please show mercy on yi sunsin
i'll spare you
your majesty
i could have killed you several times
go go and serve under gwon yul
you must never see me again alive
you will have to die fighting against wae
is that understood?
why dont you answer?
i will die
i will die fighting against wae
sir! sir!
the naval commander is being released
a royal order was given for him to fight as a commoner
yeohae we wont be able to meet again until the war is over right?
if i'm still alive then
let's meet again alive
good luck
april 1597
on april 1 1597 yi sunsin was released and went to serve under gwon yul as
a common soldier.during that time his mother who was on
her way to see her son in asan died
yi sunsin prepared a wake away from home,but had to head to hapcheon
without holding a proper funeral
the naval headquarters led by won gyun gradually fell
good
what are you doing?
have a drink
nagoya
yi sunsin was eliminated huh?
yes
i wonder what the king of joseon is thinking
why did he cut off his arm?
he is a very suspicious person
he cant stand to see heroes revered by people or people who seem to be better off than him
he is truly loyal to me!
i should reward him after conquering joseon!
of course!
your majesty
600 vessels are ready
the main army is ready to be dispatched
good we dont have to worry about the general who took yi sunsin's place?
if he's another general like yi sunsin,we could suffer again
you dont have to worry about won gyun
konishi already has a plan to kill him
konishi wake up after overcoming a crisis
good go to battle right away
yes your majesty
maeda
yes
i had a strange dream last night
you did?
mother was holding tsurumatsu
she pulled my hand and wanted to go
to see cherry blossoms
what did you do?
i said it was too far so i'd take her later
i woke up
i think she wants me to bring her to joseon
your majesty
Dodo Takatora
Wakisaka Yasuharu
what? another wae fleet?
yes your majesty we received a report that hundreds of vessels are coming to busanpo
did this also come from konishi yukinaga?
yes if we miss this chance,we wont get another opportunity like this
understood
order won gyun to stop the enemy
yse your majesty
your majesty punish the officials of the bureau of royal attire
never mind
hapcheon gyeongsang-do
boil it and drink it
it will relieve the pain
i'm a sinner dont do this
everyone is a sinner in this situation
the main army of wae is crossing the ocean
konishi yukinaga gaves us this informatio
do you think it's another trap?
what's the use of answering that?
did his majesty gave another order?
yes
i just hope i'm wrong
i hope you're wrong too
is this it for our naval forces?
can the joseon ocean no longer be defended?
