The Jingbirok a memoir of imjin war
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
you want to fight them with 12 vessels?
then do you want to let them pass us?
no but...
let all the soldiers know
have them ready to go when an order is given
understood
our battleground will be...
uldolmok (Narrow strait between haenam and jindo)
the current is fast there
there are a lot of sunken rocks too
that's why i chose that spot
the enemy vessels will suffer more than our vessels
that's right it's narrow,so all their vessels wont be able to pass at once
they'll have to come little by little
we can shoot with rifles then
still can we handle them with 12 vessels?
the enemy wont just be fighting 12 vessels
they'll have to fight the strongest current in joseon
there are about a hundred boats that belong to the refugees
how about placing them behind us to make the fleet look bigger?
that's a good idea
everyone listen
we are weaker in number,but a fight isnt with number alone
if you try to die you will live if you try to live you will die
if one man defends the entrance to the path,he could scare a thousand men
it's the same for us
is that understood?
yes sir
jeongeup jeolla-do / konishi yukinaga's camp
if we didnt lose in jiksan,we would already be in hanyang!
think of it as a step back to go 2 steps forward
once our naval forces land in the west coast we can join forces and head north again
the joseon-ming army is happy that they just stopped us from going north
when are the naval forces arriving?
they left busanpo
they should arrive tomorrow
good we will reorganize and make a full attack!
ukita
the naval forces retreated to busanpo
what?
what are you talking about?
why would they retreat?
yi sunsin sunk over 30 of the 133 vessels
about 2000 of our soldiers died
they couldnt advance any further
darn!
konishi wasnt yi sunsin eliminated?
what's going on?
i knew yi sunsin was restored to his position but they only have about 10 vessels
yoshitoshi are you mistaken about this?
no it's true
it doesnt make sense it just doesnt
ukita if our naval forces dont join us we will be in danger here
we should retreat to gyeongsang-do
yi sunsin!
is he a ghost?
konishi prepare to retreat
understood
in september 1597 after losing in jiksan the japanese army planned to join
their naval forces to advance north again but they were defeated by yi sunsin
joseon gained control of the ocean again
the japanese army that was isolated in jeolla-do retreated to the south coast again
the jiksan battle and the myeongryang battle turned the tables of the war
Kyoto
did you say they retreated south again?
yes your majesty
is it true that yi sunsin gained control again?
yes
jeolla-do and yi sunsin...
neither problem was solved?
i'm sorry
mitsuki
yes your majesty
my armor
your majesty
maeda dont try to stop me
how long am i supposed to wait for these fools?
i'll go and take care of everything myself
mitsuki!
getting excited like this wont solve anything
calm down for a minute
i'll go myself!
i'm going to kill the king of joseon and yi sunsin i'll kill them all!
your majesty!
i'm alright
i'll call the doctor please go inside
never mind it's no big deal
i wont die
take him to bed
yes sir
make sure nobody finds out about this
yes your majesty
yi sunsin...yi sunsin...
you want to attack dosanseong?
yes
the enemy has been dispirited after losing in the jiksan battle and myeongryang battle
if we regain control of dosanseong they will completely collapse
what does everyone think?
there's no need for a discussion
if it goes according to his plan the war will end with our victory
i think so too
the enemy's left army was reduced in number in jiksan but the right army led by kato kiyomasa
is still pretty strong
if we can defeat the right army too they will lose both wings
that's right your majesty
you shoul send all our forces to recover dosanseong
if we do that and fail,the capital will fall in danger
you dont trust me?
i defeated the enemy in jiksan
if i couldnt drive kato kiyomasa and the right army
i couldnt hold my head up
what do you think chief councilor?
i dont disagree
however this battle could end the war
i'm sure the enemy will defend against us with everything they have
i'm worried that this battle could last a long time if we hesitate or retreat
because there is strong resistance
if we attack dosanseong,we must not retreat no matter what
if we retreat without taking the fortress it would be better not to even try
look here!
do i look like someone who would retreat just because the enemy fights us?
it's not that he's only saying this because it is an important battle
still!
i'm very offended
he should wish me luck
then may i join you as the commander of four provinces?
councilor...
that's not a bad idea
send him to encourage our soldiers
is that alright with you?
it's not your intention to keep an eye on me is it?
of course not
i will do anything i can to help you achieve a victory
fine come with me and see how i take dosanseong
understood
if we receive word of a victory,this war will end
you must hurry
that's right
he said he would step down after the war,but that might not happen
he might not?
what if he says he will step down after he restores the country?
he is going to dosanseong because this battle could end this war
everyone is watching this situation
if he leads them to a victory,he will become a hero who saves this country
that must be his intention
he acts like a fine scholar but he's very sly
it will be hard to get rid of him if he receives a lot of public support
you need to find a weakness now
then it would be better if the joseon-ming army cant regain control of dosanseong?
i'm sorry but for us yes
what a sly fellow
how dare you!
we might be in a different party from seoae but how can you think about personal benefits
in a situation where the country's fate is on the line?
sir...
party strife can only exist if there is a country
gaining power through that is to achieve our ideals for the people
but you're only thinking of the sweet side
you're worse than a political enemy
leave!
i only said this out of loyalty to you
loyalty? am i the head of market hoodlums?!
loyalty is served to the country and people,not to an individual
you're no good!
i told you to leave
he's a talented northerner
dont abandon him so easily
i could understand if an old man said that
it's pathetic that a young man thinks like that
i'm worried someone like him will gain power
then ryu seongryong...
why do you know one thing but not the other?
a victory would be nice since it could end this ar
it wouldnt be bad if seoae becomes a hero
what?
dont you know his majesty?
dont you know why he killed kim deokryeong an innocent man?
oh i'm sorry
lee icheom and i didnt think that far
we must win the donsanseong battle
we must take this fortress! (December 1597 Donsanseong Ulsan)
attack!
fire!
hang in there! reinforcements are coming!
hold your positions!
what about reinforcements?
there's no word yet
darn what about rations?
we ran out we dont even have enough water
we cant...
dont be weak!
there is no retreat
be prepared to die in honor here!
kill the horses for food and water
yes sir
we took a break we should attack again
they ran out of water and food
we have to attack now
they're fish in a net!
we fought for 13 days
the soldiers are exhausted
let them rest
we have to hurry
it will be harder if reinforcements arrive
let them come!
i'll annihilate them all!
sir
their reinforcements are in yangsan
what? what is the size?
about 70000-80000
70000-80000?
we have to make a full attack
we have to gain control of dosanseong to defend against the reinforcements
that's right let's go
if a large enemy attacks us from behind while we attack the fortress
we will be surrounded by the enemy
let's retreat to gyeongju
you said you wouldnt retreat until the fortress was taken!
we practically have the fortress
we won this battle
we never killed this many enemies
the wae army was damaged
they wont be able to come out and attack us
they've been damaged
that's why we have to kill them
please consider that
i'm going to send news of a victory
there's no need to fight anymore
if you want to fight stay and fight!
on december 23 1597 the joseon-ming army attacked dosanseong for 13 days
but resistance by the japanese army was strong
when they received word that reinforcements were coming the inspector-general of ming
retreated to gyeongju
the joseon army attacked again but failed and lost an opportunity to end the war
the war let up again like it did before
i killed 10 wae soldiers and looked up
my eyes met kato kiyomasa's eyes!
i never saw him but i knew it was him
i said come down and fight
he avoided my eyes and fled
if i head south again,he'll pee in his pants just hearing about me!
congratulations
let's go
yes sir
end the banquet right away
who are you?
i'm here with an order by the emperor
yang hao will receive the emperor's order!
yang hao retreated from dosanseong with great damage
but deceived me by reporting false merit
he will be interrogated and punished
he will return to the main land now!
your majesty!
sir
he deserved that
what? yang hao?
what happened?
from what i found ding yingtai,the junior secretary the war ministry
sent a report to the emperor
he said yang hao lied about being defeated and deceived the emperor
we cant say we lost the battle
yang hao is saying we didnt lose but since we didnt regain control of
the fortress we cant say it was a victory either
from the wae army's point of view,it was a victory since they defended the fortress
he deceived the emperor
whether it was a victory or a defeat what happens now is important
yang hao want like song yingchang or shen weijing
he understood our position and didnt hesitate to attack the wae army
if another inspector-general comes and tries to achieve another truce
it wont be easy for us
i'm worried about that too
we need an inspector-general who wont compromise with the wae amry
please send an envoy who can prove yang hao's innocence
an envoy? that's a good idea
who should i send?
oh what about the chief state councilor?! he went to battle himself
councilor go to ming and ask them to send yang hao back to joseon
make a request to the emperor
why dont you answer?
i cant go your majesty
sir!
what are you talking about?
why cant you go?
are you saying we dont need an inspector-general to fight against wae?
i know you dont like yang hao but this isnt the time for that
there arent many people who will fight like him
we have to save him and have him come back
your majesty it's true that i wasnt happy with yang hao
but that isnt the only reason
then what is it?
the conflict between yang hao and ding yingtai isnt just between them
it's a conflict between the hawks and doves
ding yingtai's factions are trying to eliminate yang hao's factions
if we side with them do you think they will leave us in peace?
it's too late to save yang hao anyway
a new inspector-general will come it would be wise to convince him to
fight against wae
that makes sense
please think about it a bit more
if what you're saying it true,ding yingtai's factions are trying to
get rid of yang hao's factions
then the ming court will send someone who isnt like yang hao at all
it will be someone who wants a truce
that's right
the emperor punished shi xing and song yingchang for seeking a truce
he couldnt send someone who wanted a truce
that wont happen
please dont take any action
the emperor doesnt care about national matters
there's no guarantee that ding yingtai's factions will send someone who doesnt want a truce
this is an order
prepare a party of envoys
your majesty...
sir do as he says
if you really want to send someone,send someone else!
i cant handle this matter
what?
are you refusing a royal order?
that's excessive
why are you doing this?
change your mind
really his majesty is very mad
dont you know how i feel?
if we side with yang hao our court will become involved in a fight in the ming court
no we cant take action
this is insubordination
he must be punished like yi sunsin
it doesnt matter if he thinks he is right
this isnt right
he is showing contempt to his majesty
he went too far with his arrogance
i dont understand why he is upsetting his majesty like that
i told you not to come here
i wasnt thinking properly
i will study more please forgive me
is that so? i'll see about that
his majesty is in rage?
yes sir
he sent lee wonik instead of ryu seongryong
i heard about the situation in the ming court
the chief state councilor isnt wrong
what is your idea to drive out the chief councilor?
he didnt want to save yang hao
how about making him pro-truce?
pro-truce?
yes sir
that's not a bad idea
your majesty remove ryu seongryong from office
remove him
he didnt obey your order to go to ming as an envoy because he wants a truce with japan
there is a rumor that he sought a truce with shen weijing in the past
that's worse than treason
ryu seongryongn was in charge of national matters for 6-7 years
he acted arbitrarily and affected our political affairs
he created sogogun and jangmibeop and confused the people (Army Including Commoners-Paying Tax With Rice)
he made the people be disappointed with you and only sought his personal benefits
he isnt a good servant
your majesty remove ryu seongryong from office
remove him
the ministers are trying to impeach ryu seongryong
ryu seongryong ruined the country...
what do you think about that?
what would i know about that?!
but when the country ended up like this there must have been someone
who ruined it like this
ruining the country...ryu seongryong...
why are you just sitting here?
you should protest
the northerners are after you
they'll blame you for everything
you have to do something
it's going to be hard to get out of this trap
it's too deep
sir
it isnt just the northerners
you know that
still you cant be blamed for something you didnt even do!
you said we should overcome this country and rebuild it
you cant be this irresponsible!
that's right
this isnt just about you
you should meet my father-in-law
the house is safe because of that one move
i should have cut if off
you're good but you're lucky too
is that so?
the enemy was stopped in jiksan
and yi sunsin achieved a victory when nobody expected it
it isnt my luck it's the country's luck
you made that happen
let's see
how about a head-on fight now?
block this
you're giving up your move? without a fight?
i lost this game
that's not like you
i'll let it go make another move
you scare me
councilor
i came to beg you not to make any moves that call for blood like the one you just made
i have no idea what you're talking about
you hold all the power in court
you came to beg me?
an old man without any power?
you must be kidding
i mean it
when this war is over,i'm not going back to the court no matter who tries to stop me
please stop party strife only until this war is over
are you saying i'm causing party strife to gain power?
didnt you come to be his majesty's sword?
isnt that sword pointed at me and other people who followed me?
you know politics well now
the war isnt over yet
i will keep my promise to step down
please help me
it's not up to me
i'm just one stone in the game
if i'm placed to be abandoned i'll be abandoned
if i'm placed to guard the house i'll guard it
if i'm placed to make an attack i cant let the opponent live
it all depends on where his majesty places me
you can refuse to be that stone
someone will be that stone even if it's not me
i want to be that stone
dont you know that yet?
i want to be his majesty's sword to prevent hostility and conflict after the war
reform was necessary...
his majesty is thinking about after the war
you should go
it's too early to talk about after the war
if it's too early you'll stay longer
i enjoyed our conversation today
i wont give up my move this easily next time
i cant wait
what are you talking about?
we planned to attack ming with wae?
why did ding yingtai make such a report?
it's as the chief state councilor expected
ding yingtai is mad because we sided with yang hao
we have to send another envoy proving that we're innocent?
from to smoke to smother...
ryu seongryong is a wise man
you cant abandon him
sure i'm always wrong and ryu seongryong is always right
i'm worried ryu seongryong will abandon me
how can you say such a thing?
august 1598 kyoto
your majesty get your strength back
think about hiroimaru
if you leave like this...
how dare you say such a thing?
he is a strong man
he will get back on his feet soon
maeda
yes your majesty
i should withdraw the army right?
yes your majesty
you should have them protect hiroimaru
okay do that
maeda
was i too greedy?
no
you are a hero who tried to achieve a grand dream
yes
my life wasnt so bad
take good care of hiroimaru
withdraw the army
dont worry
i wanted to step on joseon land too bad
in my next life i will definitely do that
yes do that
mother,tsurumatsu...
let's go to see cherry blossoms
your majesty!
no your majesty!
you cant go like this!
no way all this in vain?
after starting such a tragic war? how could he?
the joseon court probably heard
we have to hurry up and withdraw
yi sunsin wont let us just leave
will we be able to leave safely?
prepare to withdraw
yoshitoshi ask for reinforcements
yes sir
is this war finally over?
is this long and tragic war finally over?
your majesty you have been blessed
you overcame a tragic crisis
you will rulee in peace now
congratulations your majesty
congratulations
there is still something left to do
we cant let them just go
that's right
order the army to annihilate the wae soldiers who try to flee
yes of course
the first priority is to rebuild the country that has been damaged from war
yes i have so much to do
there might be more to do than during war
right chief councilor?
sir go outside
the refugees came with food
they want to have a party with you
send them away
what?
the war isnt over yet
sir...
it's not over until i end it!
