The Jingbirok a memoir of imjin war

Your majesty

Get the doctor

Your majesty

Councilor i'm in great pain

Be sure to stop the attack

Your majesty

Your majesty

Your majesty they took dongnaeseong

They took gijang yangsan and milyang

They will cross joryeong soon

What?

Your majesty this isnt a invasion

it's war

Your majesty

Your majesty

How is he?

His breathing is back to normal but his pulse isnt regluar

it must have been a huge shock for him

is his condition worse that before?

Yes

Water

Your majesty

Have all the ministers come

Your majesty not now

You have to remain stable

Yes your majesty

i'm worried you'll get worse

There's a war

How can i lie in bed?

Go right now

Yes your majesty

He said wae wouldnt invade

Kim seongil said wae wouldnt invade

But this isnt an invasion its war

You all speak so well

Why are you silent?

How did this happen?tell me

Your majesty please kill us

Kim seongil he's the cause

if the reports werent different this wouldnt have happened

if they said wae would incade i would have made preparations

Have kim seongil arrested

i will hold him responsible for this

Your majesty please calm down

How can i be calm?

You're sinners too

How can they be taken in three days?

Why is our army so weak?

Your majesty lee ll led an army there

Soldiers from other camps are gathering in daegu right now

lee ll will lead them and make a sharp attack against the enemy

Please dont worry

What if he cant defeat them?

Chungju will be next

After that is hanyang right here

i will lead an army and go

Kim yeomul and other able offcials are on standby

i will support lee ll and supress the advancement of the enemy

Move the soldiers in the north and have all the soldiers gather in chungju

if we fight them in joryeong we could defeat them (Today's mungyeongsaejae)

That makes sense

But it will be too much for the supreme commander since he has no expreience in battle

i will go

You?

Yes your majesty

i will go and defeat them

Can you do that?

i will die in battle if i cant wash away your concerns

You are a loyal servant who could save our country

Fine

i'll appoint you as the border inspector of three provinces

i will give you all authority over the army

The order of the border inspector is the same as an order from me

You may kill anyone who disobeys an order

Thank you your majesty

General the existence of this country is in your hands

Good luck

Be sure to defeat the wae army

i will send news of a victory

Dont worry

i will trust you

When the enemy is large in number and strong youi should avoid a head on fight

The roads in joryeong are narrow and rough

They're good for ambushes

Be sure to have a line of defense

How can you be so sure the enemy is stronger than us?

They are infantrymen and we have a cavalry unit

i will keep what you said in mind but i will decide when i see what the situation is there

i'll get going then

Proud soldiers of joseon

Soldiers from wae dare to take the joseon army lightly

They are trying to take our land

We killed the 10000 jurchen soldiers who trespassed in the north

We have to head in the opposite direction Kim yeomul

and defeat the wae army

Proud warriors of joseon lets go

Lets sweep away the wae soldiers who are violating our parents and families

Lets sweep them away

Did you want to see me?

Did ship rip leave?

Yes your majesty

Could he win?

The soldiers of gyeongsang-do are gathering in ulsan and changwon

the left and right headquarters of gyeongsang

if they support lee ll and ship rip from each side i think there could be a good chance

All the happened because i was foolish and lacking

i should have listened to your advice

Dont say that your majesty

it's our fault

We should have made preparations no matter what

i let down my guard a bit too

if

if

Yes your majesty

Never mind

if a report comes let me know right away

Yes your majesty

Your majesty

Please be strong

if there are peaceful times there are crises

After crises there are peaceful times

the soldiers and citizens will unite and defeat the wae army

Peace will come

You dont have to comfort me go on

Yes your majesty

Were the magistrates notified?

Yes

the magistrates and generals of the villages in the west were told to

gather in daegu and wait for the capital forces

But

What?is something wrong? Kim su(Gyeongsang procincial governor)

The wae soldiers blocked up the path to the villages in the east

They didnt receive the notice yet

The second line of defense connecting the right and left fell

Did the capital forces arrive in daegu?

Not yet

Not yet?

What will they do?

the government soldiers fled

The government building is empty

What a pain

why is it so hard to find an official sho can connect us to the court?

There's no time

We will continue to advance

When are the capital forces coming? (daegu joseon army camp)

How should i know?

We should fight or flee

We're just sitting around

What are the cooks doing?

You should coock when it's time to eat

How?there's no rice

There's no rice?

We ran out a quite a while ago

What?

When are the capital forces arriving?

Sir sir

The wae army in near cheongdo

Cheongdo?

The wae army is here?

Everyone listen

Anyone who goes AWOL will be killed

Understand?

it will take less than half a day to reach here from cheongdo

How can we fight without the soldiers from hanyang?

The centeral army will arrive soon

What if the wae army attacks first?

Do you want to die?

Where are you going?

Sh

if you dont want to die run

Hey hey

Hey stop right there

Anyone who flees will be killed

What will you do?

There arent any soldiers to fight

What can i do?

Sir

oh boy

it's completely empty

Sir

i'm back

How is the situation in the south?

Well...it's really serious

The soldiers in daegu fled because the capital forces didnt arrive

They let the wae army have daegu?

There wasnt any rice left in the camp

How can soldiers fight without eating?

What about the wae army?

They probably occupied daegu by now

How far did the capital forces get?

i ran into them on the way

They should be in sangju by now

General lee has to defend well

Did you say daegu was taken?

i'm sorry your majesty

What was general lee doing?

it's taking time because he's gathering soldiers in the rural areas

We have to gather the soldiers who are dispersed hare and there

How can we do that?

Dispatch a choyusa and anjipsa to settle public sentiments and (officials dispatched for the stability of the people)

reorganize the army

A choyusa

Who would be good?

Jim reuk is from yeongcheon

He knows the situation of the people in gyeongsang-do well

Appoint him as the anjipsa of left gyeongsang-do

Do it

For right gyeongsang-do appoint kim seongil former commander-in-chief of that region as a choyusa

Not kim seongil

He caused all this

i'm sorry to say this but the citizens of gyeongsang-do trust kim seongil a lot

Nobody could be better for the job

Please consider it your majesty

No recommend someone else

Kim seongil is in gyeongsang-do

He knows how the wae army will move

He is reflecting on his wrongdoings

if you give him a chance he would gladly give his life

Please approve

How far did konishi get?

He's heading to sangju from daegu

To sangju from daegu

He'll reach chungju soon

Yes

We have to take shortcut to reach chungju before konishi does

Sayaka

Yes

Did you find out?

The fastest way from gyeongju is through gunwi and joryeong

Fine

We'll head north to chungju through gunwi and joryeong

We'll leave right now

Listen carefully

We have to take hanyang before konishi no matter what

Understand?

Yes sir

April 29 1592

The second division of 22800 soldiers led by kato kiyomasa landed in busan

The third division of 11000 landed in gimhae

So yoshitoshi secured a beachhead in busan

He headed to chungju by going through daegu

Kato kiyomasa had matchlocks and arrows in the front line

He made raids and headed north through ulsan gyeongju and yeongcheon

The third division that landed in gimhae joined the fourth divison of 14000

They headed to hanyang by taking gimhae and seongju in the west

There were nine units of joseon

They only had 158800 soldiers

The naval forces of gyeongsang-do were defeated early on

The japanese soldiers headed north without any resistance

Good good

Kill them all

Good

Kill them all good

What's going on? Kim su(gyeongsang provincial governor)

i committed a huge sin

i was biased and i was sure the enemy wouldnt attack

That resulted in this tragedy

i deserve to die 10000 times but even death couldnt wash it all away

Be sure to defeat the wae army

Sir

what is it?

it's an order to release kim seongil and appoint him as a choyusa

Sir

Your majesty

How could i beg for my life?

i'm a sinner i'm a dead man

i will fight with everything i had against the wae enemy

i will be buried in battle your majesty

Your majesty

Sangju lee ll's camp

i know they were gathered in a hurry but they're a bunch of misfits

We should be grateful that they came to fight against the wae army

Gyeongsang-do konishi yukinaga's camp

Kato's soldiers took gyeongju

They're heading north to chungju

He's faster than expected

Kato could be faster than us

i wont let him

Did you take a look?

yes

They're training the soldiers in a field near the government building

A field?

They must now know we're close

Yoshitoshi

Yes

The general must be taken alive

He has to let konishi's intentions known to the king of joseon

Yes sir

Sangju lee ll's camp

We captured him

You

You're a spy who is spreading false rumors?

i'm not a spy that's absurd

How did the wae army reach sangju in ten days?

Do they have wings?

it's ture they're a day away

A false report results in death

Please believe me

Just give me one day to see if i'm telling the truth

Fine

if they dont appear after today i will cut off your head

Lock him up

Yes sir

A day passed

it's not fair

i was just trying to help you

He's a spy kill him

General

The soldiers are stirring because of him

Kill him right now

General general

Did you see them?

Yes are they wae soldiers?

Well i didnt see for sure

We should report it though

Didnt you see them kill a soldier?

What if we're mistaken?

Thats true

Let's eat

Dont run

Dont run

Nice

Good good

Go on

This is it

Your majesty

What?

Konishi took daegu

He's advancing to chungju

Already?

He's pretty good

Kato might lose

There werent any real battles

Konishi was lucky

i didnt know the joseon army was that pathetic

We'll be able to go to ming sooner

Thats right

Good very good

Keep playing

We'll arrive in hanyang faster than expected

if joseon asks ming to send reinforcements the fight will last long

i will go to hanyang and try to negotiate with the king of joseon

Do well back at home

Even lee ll was defeated?

Only general shin remains?

if he fails will a sword be held at my neck?

Your majesty dont say that

General ship will stop the wae army in joryeong

i believed kim seongil when he said there wouldnt be an invasion

i believed all of you

i trusted lee ll

But this is the result

general ship might be able but who can be sure he will win?

Your majesty it's a tragic situation but we cant lose hope yet

The soldiers in the north are coming

Please be strong

When are the soldiers coming?

After the wae army arrives in the capital?

After i die?

Your majesty

What soldiers and citizens would fight for this foolish king?

i deserve to die

Your majesty please kill us

Your majesty install a crown prince

install a crown prince to show the royal famliy is strong

Renew public sentiments

Have the people and soldiers unite under the crown prince and fight the wae army

i agree with the supreme commander

Cheif councilor

When the country is in danger a crown prince should be installed

i think this is the right time

Well we dont know what will happen to me

Your majesty it is for your safety

Fine

Discuss who would be good

This isnt an order from ming

its a temporary measure to prepare for war

We'll dicuss who will inherit the throne at a later time

is that understood?

Yes your majesty

Are you just going to sit here?

Most of the ministers like prince gwanghae

You should go to his majesty and

Stop causing a commotion

What?

His majesty said it's temporary

The crown prince can become a hostage during war

Thats true

its better that prince gwanghae becomes the crown prince right now

i dont want that

if i become the crown prince during war i could die in place of his majesty

That is what being a crown prince is about

it is part of being a crown prince

i dont want to be the crown prince like that

Tell them to install prince sinseong

When will he grow up?

i'm sorry

his majesty loves prince sinseong

He'll probably make me the crown prince since i'm distant

if he makes you the crown prince it wont be because you're distant

it will be because you're the most reliable prince to support him in these difficult times

Do you think so?

So what if that's not why?

You were born as a man

its not bad to give up your life for your country and its people

i will be with you

Dont be too upset

Your highness

Sangju konishi yukinaga's camp

There is a prisoner who speaks japanese

So?

When i came as an envoy there was someone name lee deokhyeong

His father-in-law is the current chief state councilor lee sanhae

The chief state councilor?

Yes

Call lee deokhyeong so we can have a conversation with the king of joseon?

Yes

Fine

Send the prisoner to lee deokhyeong and have him come here

Understood

Peace talks?

Yes

if you have intentions for peace they want you to send me to chungju

it could be a trap

We could reorganize the army during the peace talks

They continued to ask us for help so they can pay tribute to ming

They might really want peace

Your majesty i will go

You might not be able to return

it could be a trap but it will stop the enemy from advancing

What we need right now is time to reorganize the army

if we can earn some time i could go a thousand times

Please approve

Minister

Serve him well

Yes sir dont worry

i'll get going

i'll be going

i'm already old but you still have a lot to do

be sure to return

You said he was a gem

He truly is

i'm sending my young son-in-law to death becuase i was wrong

Chungju ship rip's camp

Genreal

Look who is here

inspector

Genreal

i thought you were dead

a loser cant make any excuses

i came because i wanted to die in battle

i'm glad you came

We should join forces to defeat the wae army

Lets sit

How many are there and what is their fire power?

There's something i want to ask first

What is it?

Why did you set up camp here out in the open when joryeong is an impregnable fortress?

We set up camp in joryeong

i heard they took sangju and decided we'll have to fight the last battle

We're the cavalry unit and they're infantrymen

The mountains are rough in joryeong

We'll be at an advantage here

They are infantrymen but they all have matchlocks

They can kill people who are 150 steps away

Did you say 150 steps?

An arrow can kill someone who is a thousand steps away

Once a matcklock is fired it takes a long time to reload

You must know now

They shoot the matchlocks consecutively

They dont know there is such a weakness

Dont take what i say lightly

We should move the camp to joryeong

Our soldiers were gathered on the way

Dont you know they cant carry out complicated strategies like ambushes and raids?

The enemy passed sangju and could already be in joryeong

When will we set up the ambushes?

And what is the enemy goes around joryeong?

This place tangeumdae is the only place they cant avoid us

With namhangang behind us we have to fight them head on

is there a chance of winning?

if we lose here they'll head right to hanyang

The cavalry unit outside is the best in the whole world

They have mobility that the enemy couldnt follow with matchlocks and swords

Wait and see

The enemy will be trampled by those horses

Joryeong (Today's mungyeongsaejae)

We would have been killed if they were waiting in ambush here

They're such fools

We're very lucky

May buddha have mercy on us

Let's go

Everyone prepare for battle

Everyone prepare to charge

Prepare for battle prepare for battle
