The Jingbirok a memoir of imjin war

i'm a sinner dont do this

the main army of wae is crossing the ocean
konishi yukinaga gave us this information
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?
hansando naval headquarters of the three provinces
what? 600 vessels?
yes they're newly made vessels
what about out fleet?
we have 200 vessels 10000 sacks of rations and 300 rifles
will we be going to battle?
this is a trap
even if it is,winning or losing is up to heaven
i'm not like yi sunsin
if an order is given i must fight with everything i have even if it's hell
it's too reckless
we might have firepower,but there are 600 enemy vessels!
they'll be prepared for our attack
we wont be able to handle it
yi sunsin nurtured a bunch of cowards
take him out and flog him!
he is in charge of our gunpowder
we'll be in trouble without him
then he should just make gunpowder
what is he doing here?
get him out of here!
yes sir
sir! sir!
sir
is anyone else against going to battle?
fine we'll go to angoplo and gadeodo!
general
they fell for it
won gyun left hansando leading 200 vessels
ukita the joseon naval forces will be annihilated now
heaven is helping us
what happened?
won gyun has defeated
what? he was defeated?
he led 200 vessels to battle but an heungguk died
the gyeongsang commander raided ungcheon and was defeated
won gyun also retreated to hansando
oh...now what?
won gyun was so confident
what? he was defeated and he retreated?
order him to go to battle again right away!
yes your majesty
we didnt reorganize yet
we cant go to battle
what do you think?
why are you silent? talk!
are you saying it's my fault?
let the supreme field commander know
tell him our difficulties
make the trip yourself
be sure to tell them
unless our army or the ming army attacks from land
we cant attack the enemy on our own!
understood
what? he cant go to battle?
he really...
the enemy army is large in size and we suffered a lot of damage
we need time to reorganize
i know that!
but he's making an excuse that he lost because he didnt have support!
he didnt come himself what a coward!
he sent his subordinate to make excuses?
tell him to come here right away!
yes sir
officer song
sir!
sir...
dont bow
sir...
get up
you were defeated?
yes
how many were sacrificed?
about a hundred soldiers died
boseong magistrate An heungguk died
sir...we need you
won gyun doesnt qualify to...
serve him well!
sir
it's not for his sake
it's for our naval forces and this country
you have to support him well for a victory
sir...i'm more disappointed with heaven
than the current commander
i'm really disappointed with his majesty!
a crisis is an opportunity
hang i there
sir...
stop!
you still dont know what you did wrong?
commander it's not that i didnt want to go to battle
we just needed time to reorganize
i know that!
that's not the problem
you're making an excuse that you cant go to battle without an attack on land!
if the court could send a large army,why would they have asked you to stop the enemy at sea?
with our naval forces alone...
it's a royal order
you always said so yourself
you would jump into a fire if an order was given
why are you acting differently?
continue!
what is it?
i wanted to say something
go ahead
you cant have our naval forces attack
the enemy knows we will attack they have many more vessels
if an attack is made first...
stop it its a royal order
after everything you've been through...
you should send a report explaining the situation here and convince the court
we have more firepower than the wae army
only from a long distance
we cant beat them at close distance
just leave
you're a commoner now
if a reckless attack is made our naval forces...
stop it! i was given a royal order too
leave me
everyone knows this isnt the time to go to battle
but if a royal order isnt followed,we'll die anyway
we're going to die either way!
a victory depends on heaven
we'll go to battle!
do you want to die by my sword?
go out and get ready
yes sir
i'll jump into a fire if i have to
wakisaka the joseon naval forces are haeded this way
the size of their fleet?
there are 200 vessels
all the naval forces of jeolla-do and chungcheong-do are coming
won gyun wants revenge
he's just a moth
we'll continue to attack and retreat
we'll exhaust them and make them anxious
let's end them this time
prepare for battle
yes sir!
the chilcheonryang battle took place on july 15 and 16 of 1597
it ended with a tragic defeat for joseon
only 12 vessels under the commander of right gyeongsang were in tact since
they were away from the main fleet
about 200 vessels all sunk
commander of right jeolla le eokgi and chungcheong commander choi ho died
won gyun who retreated to chilcheondo also died
the joseon naval forces were annihilated
some blame won gyun for making a reckless attack but seonjo and the court were
largely at fault for not grasping the situation properly
you wanted to see me?
i hoped you would be wrong
the naval forces led by won gyun were annihilated
lee eokgi choi ho and won gyun
they all died in battle
only bae seolman survived with 12 vessels
annihilated...did you say annihilated?
yes your majesty
your majesty!
is heaven abandoning us?
your majesty its tragic that our naval forces were annihilated
but you cant give up
the wae army will attack jeolla-do soon and head north to hanyang
that's right fortunately the ming army left 3000 soldiers in namwon jeolla-do and
4000 soldiers in chungju chungcheong-do
we have to reassign our soldiers
yes we should
discuss it at the national border council
oh! shouldnt yi sunsin be reinstated to his position?
right councilor? i should do that right?
go ahead and do that
your majesty what's the use of reinstating him to his position?
he doesnt have any vessels to lead
oh right
there arent any ships to defend our ocean!
your majesty!
yang hao who was in pyeongyang just entered the capital
really?
welcome you came a long way
i had a lot things to take care of -Yang Hao(inspector general of ming)
i'm sorry i'm late -Yang Hao(inspector general of ming)
it's alright
the ming soldiers are defending namwon and chungju well
why would i worry?
i heard the joseon naval forces were annihilated
how did that happen?
i dont know what to say
but since you're here we can defeat the wae army without the naval forces
it cant be done on our own
we need full cooperation of the joseon court
of course whatever you need
i'll support you
i'll establish gyeongriamun first (institution where the inspector-general carries out military affairs)
is there a need?
you can stay at the ming headquarters and discuss matters with the court ministers
are you worried the gyeongriamun might take over your national affairs?
dont worry i have no intention of doing that
nor do i have the power
i just want perfect order of military law through the gyeongriamun
of course do whatever is necessary
consider it an order from me and give him everything he needs
thank you your majesty
i have a question
what is it?
there wont be a truce will there?
did you just say a truce?
of course not
if anyone speaks of a truce,i will cut off his head right away!
really?
i'll bet my family name on that
as long as i'm here a single wae soldier wont leave alive
thank you thank you very much
i'll trust you
what did you think of yang hao?
it didnt seem like he would play us like song yingchang did
he didnt seem to want a truce either
he was so confident
the emperor punished shi xing and song yingchang for attempting a truce
someone like him wouldnt be sent again
is there something else that concerns you?
no he wouldnt play us
but he seems to be taking the wae army too lightly
i'm worried about our naval forces
you!
did you lose your country?
get up right now
sir...
commander
sir!
is this a dream?
sir...why did you come so late?
our naval forces were annihilated
the naval forces disappeared in the ocean
what are you talking about?
i'm here and you're here
why are you saying the naval forces disappeared?
we can build new vessels
as long as there is one person with a will to fight
our naval forces didnt disappear
everyone get up!
magistrate bae and officer song report the situation of each camp
yes sir!
officer lee and officer choi,report on the guns and gunpowder
yes sir!
except for those who are injured everyone prepare for training!
yes sir
it will take time to build new vessels
what's urgent are the guns and gunpowder
produce them night and day
yes yes sir
i'll make them until i drop!
sir! a liaison officer is here
hello
i have a message from his majesty
since the naval forces are gone he is ordering you to join the army
sir...
your majesty the wae army couldnt advance to honam and chungcheong because the naval forces stopped them
i still have 12 vessels
we can stop the enemy if we fight with everything we have
even if we dont have enough vessels,i'm not dead yet
the wae army cant look down on us
busanpo japanese army camp
good for you wakisaka!
you achieved great merit
oh no
it's because the retired regent gave me his full support
and it would have been easy if konishi didnt eliminate yi sunsin
thank you thank you very much
no no it's because you fought well
congratulations
thank you
let's make a toast to wakisaka for annihilating the joseon naval forces
to the retired regent and wakisaka!
cheers!
kato why do you look so down?
arent you glad we got rid of the joseon naval forces?
i'm happy i'm very happy
how can i not be happy when i was used as bait to annihilate them?
ukita shouldnt you stop celebrating and advance to hanyang?
what's the rush?
we should just enjoy and drink and...
shut that mouth!
the retired regent is waiting
if we party like this just because we annihilated the joseon naval forces
when will we conquer joseon?
right ukita?
kato i like that attitude
fine we'll go to battle right away!
konishi attack jeolla-do!
yes sir
kato attack gyeongsang-do and chungcheong-do
yes sir
everyone make full preparations understood?
yes sir
dont let anyone live!
kill them all!
august 1597
in august 1597 the wae army landed without resistance by the naval forces
they trampled all over jeolla-do gyeongsang-do and chungcheong-do and advanced
during that process,they cut off the noses of people
potters scholars and many other people were taken to japan
namwonseong hwangseoksanseong and jeonjuseong were all taken
i knew it
preparations? what preparations were made?
jeolla-do was defended before
i cant believe it's been taken
this is the result of all the reform and preparation?
the defeat at chilcheonryang had a huge effect
the ming soldiers fled from namwonseong,but our soldiers fought fiercely
despite being weaker in number
we still have the main army led by gwon yul
if we join forces with ming the tables could be turned
please be strong
dont just talk make me feel strong!
the wae army is coming
i'm going to send the queen north
what are you talking about?
the people and soldiers will think you are taking royal refuge again
that's right
you cant confuse them like before
who said anything about royal refuge?
i said i'd send the queen
cant i even do that?
even if that's your intention the people wont understand
please dont do that
fine
go to the gyeongriamun and discuss ways to stop the wae army from heading north
gyeongriamun
what?
yang yuan was the first to flee from namwonseong and chen yuzhong fled from jeonjuseong?
yes,how embarrassing
the joseon generals all fought to the end and died in battle
how pathetic!
they call themselves ming soldiers?
dont blame yourself too much
there are many reasons for a victory or a defeat
hello have a seat
i told them not to retreat
i wont forgive them
chen yuzhong fled without saving namwonseong
i will have his head
your military order is fine
we will defeat the wae army
of course
where should we set the line of defense?
i think jiksan would be good
it has access in every direction
i'm sure the enemy will gather there
if we attack them there we could turn the tables
that's not a bad idea
the enemy is advancing separately
i was worried we would have to scatter our forces too
if we could defeat them all in one place nothing would be better
we will send our main army to jiksan
the main army will consists of 1130 men led by song eonsin
the ming army has 2000 in the cavalry unit and a powerful artillery unit
if you attack the enemy camp with cannons and then attack with the cavalry unit before
they reorganize there's a good chance
what about rations and food for the horses?
we're not lacking at this time
we will have to worry in the future though
if it lasts long,it will be difficult to procure rations
jeolla-do was taken
we wouldnt have had to worry about rations if jeolla-do want taken
you should take responsibility
sir...
hello
it's been a while councilor
agye how have you been? (Lee sanhae's pen name)
with the country in this situation how do you think?
what brings you here?
his majesty was frustrated
he called me
you expected another invasion and made preparations did you really prepare?
the naval forces were annihilated and jeolla-do was taken
the annihilation of the naval forces wasnt the councilor's fault
are you saying it was his majesty's fault?
the head of the court has to take full responsibility for all results!
i had high expectations for you and stayed away
i was upset about everything i heard
you sought reform and caused hostility
people were disappointed that you acted arbitrarily with all matters
i really trusted you but i'm disappointed
i know the nobility and landowners are disappointed with me
i also know it's my fault
even if i step down,i'll have to do so when this war is over
you're being arrogant
do you think you're the only person who can settle this?
minister that's a bit excessive
he is doing his best to stop the wae army
he is? i'm not sure his best efforts will lead to a good result
what will you do if you cant stop the wae army in jiksan?
if the wae army shows up,will you avoid responsibility and stop his majesty from taking royal refuge?
i'll stop them
is that so? okay i'll see
your majesty lee sanhae reporting
welcome
i'm glad you came
i called you because i was nervous just to trust the court ministers
i'm grateful that you think this old man is still useful
no no
support me well with your experience and knowledge
i will do that
what should i do?
i left the war to yang hao
i'm sure he'll take care of it
are you worried about the court after the war is over?
preparations have to be made
someone always has to be held responsible
sure
i will do my best dont worry
agye is back?
yes
there is going to be a huge wave
probably with agye back,the northerners will raise their voices
the wave wasnt created by northerners
what?
it was by his majesty
the person who gave them power is his majesty
he's targeting the chief state councilor and the southerners?
he's a scary man!
he called agye because he's concerned about what will happen after the war
the chief state councilor is going to be in danger
i served his majesty for a long time
but i could never know what he was thinking
there are 200 guns
we have about 3000kg of gunpowder
you made all that is such a short time?
it must be because the commander returned
i told them to get some sleep,but they're hammering away all night
thank you be careful nobody collapses
yes sir
what about the vessels?
we didnt build one yet
it's hard to find wood it will take more time
sir!
the joseon army and ming army annihilated the wae army in jiksan
is this true?
that's really fortunate
if jiksan was taken hanyang wouldnt be safe
they did a great job
but...
heo naeman sent word from busanpo,the wae army is going to land in the west coast
with hundreds of vessels soon
they're going to join their army in jeolla-do and make another attack?
sir they'll be passing our camp
what should we do?
we dont have vessels to fight them
what are you talking about?
we still have 12 vessels
