The Jingbirok a memoir of imjin war

you must be tired

i'm sure the people are having a harder time

i'm a sinner

what did you talk about his majesty?

i told him my use was over

councilor

i have a final request to make to you

go ahead

his majesty cant endure this crisis

not to return the country to his majesty but to the people fight

if it wasnt for this national crisis his majesty could have been an alright ruler

but i'm not sure anymore

i had many thoughts while we got this far

there are only two powers that can help overcome this crisis

one is the help of ming and the other is the people who will rise with loyalty

the person to be by their side isnt his majesty

it is you

so dont fall in despair because of his majesty

please take good care of this country

why do you speak as if it's over for you?

you have to be there with me next to the people

we have to raise them together

sir

thank you

it is the lord of pungwon

he took off his uniform

is he demonstrating because he was removed from office?

he wouldnt do that

he is realizing his sins and intends to fight in battle as a common person

your majesty i have one last request

please dont abandon ryu seongryong

let's go around

we're already a day behind

if we keep going around them when will we relay the order?

let's just charge right through

are you afraid?

then go around

yes i'm afraid

i'm afraid you'll die before you get a chance to take the national exam

i'm afraid of that

you're thinking about that when the country is in this situation?

i'll open up a path

take that shortcut and race off

will you be alright?

i ride a horse better

still be careful

you be careful too

cheonri

this is the sword i used when i took the national exam

give it to me when i take the exam

see you alive

hanyang

japanese camp at royal shrine

military rations will arrive from the main land soon

the feudal lords will take the rations to the designated areas

distribute the rice to the refugees and have them return home

yes sir

i'll be in charge of gyeonggi-do including hanyang

the next choice should go to the general who occupied hanyang first konishi

thank you

you cant do that

the second division scouts occupied hanyang a day before them

there is a report bu them

you can check

kato

dont force it

arent you ashamed in front of your subordinates?

what did you say?

you removed the boats and interfered with the second division from advancing

stop it

what's more important is whose main army entered first

the first division did that so it is konishi's victory

ukita

kuroda mori

what do you think?

the first division won (Kuroda nagamasa)

i think so too (Mori yoshinari)

i will go to pyeongan-do

kato

it's obvious

hamyeong-do

fine

but i'll take the same route as konishi up to gaeseong

you want to after the joseon king together?

it's a waste of military power for the first and second divisions to move together

it's foolish to leave gangwon-do empty

stop

fine

do as kato wants

the fourth division will take gangwon-do

yes sir

konishi kato

it's nice to show a fighting spirit but if your fight for merit damages our army

i wont forgive you

the surveillants sent by the taehap are watching every move

so be particularly careful

understood?

yes sir

how did it go?

thanks to you i got the message to lee gwang without ant problems

he should be heading to where the royal carriage is about now

good job

that's good

cheonri

cheonri

cheonri cheonri cheonri

lee cheonri

government building in hangju Hwanghae-do

prepare a royal meal

what's going on?

a general of the army surrendered with 3000 soldiers

we received a report from kim su the governor of gyeongsang

kill sayaka and display his head

you have to do that right now

the wae army advanced without stopping but it hasnt moved for 3 days since

it occupied hanyang

they must be up to something

please dont be deceived

i agree with the councilor

there might be another plan

most of all if the leader of the enemy and his soldiers are killed and their heads are displayed

it could enhance the morale of our army

you have to be prudent

if they truly surrendered we could gain much information about the wae army

that makes sense too

it's important to undermine the enemy's morale but we dont know how many there are

in number or how they are organized

we dont know anything about the enemy

it would be of great help if we could lean more through the soldiers who surrendered

they threatened us and lied to us for a long time

how are we to trust them?

we can be prepared against enemies outside but we'll be helpless against enemies within

his majesty is right crown prince

besides why would wae soldiers surrender at a time like this?

your majesty dont trust them

execute them right away

did you hear that?

everyone wants them to be executed send a liason officer right away

and excute sayaka and the soldiers

you cant do that

ryu seongryong?

yes your majesty

open the door

why do you keep lingering here?

you should repent if you were removed from office

i know i should repent

i dared to listen because this was an imporatnt matter

why are you against executing them?

because of matchlocks

it's no exaggeration to say they advanced to hanyang so quickly because of

the matchlock unit

so?

sayaka brought dozens of matchlocks

we have to make such a weapon or fight them with the same matchlocks

if we can learn how to make them and use them through sayaka

it would be like gaining hundreds of thousands of soldiers

how can we know if they truly surrendered?

he surrendered to the gyeongsang governor

order the choyusa kim seongil to loock into the matter

if they truly surrendered you can put them in the lead when the wae soldiers in the area attack

that will clear up any suspicions

the crown prince has a good idea

you should do that

any other ideas?

councilor

they dont seem to have such a bad idea

you should try it

understood

like the lord of pungwon suggested have kim su and kim sengil accept sayaka

and look into the matter

thank you your majesty

left jeolla naval headquarters

we will have a final training at mijohang then dock at sobipo fro rest

we will join commander won gyun in dangpo

the next day and head to okpo

did you decide on a strategy? jeong un(myriarch of nokdo)

we will mainatin a formation and use a small boat to lore the enemy vessels

to within 1km

if we can just get them within 1 km we can destroy them with our jija chongtong

guns and hyeonja chongtong guns

750m

ignite

1km

ignite

i can see the enemies drowning

general

general the commander of the right district lee ekogi isnt joining us

did you send word?

yes but there is no reply

i think he only intends on defending the right district

there are fifty enemy vessels

we haev twenty-four ships

the enemy probably reached hanyang

we cant just sit around

we should go to battle

i didnt wait because i was afraid of the enemy

i wanted to give a chance to the commander of the right district to achieve merit too

let's go

the rations distribution route was cut off?

what are you talking about?

our vessels that went back and forth between okpo happo and jeokjinpo

were annihilated by an attack from the joseon naval forces

supply ships from the main land were among them

annihilated?

there are naval forces left in joseon?

the gyeongsang naval forces were almost all annihilated

but the jeolla naval forces attacked

who is the leader of the jeolla naval forces?

yi sunsin

yi sunsin?

have you heard of him?

well

according to a scout report there was no such name

he must be a newly appointed rookie

our forces must not have expected an attack from another area

they were attacked because they let down their guard

that will be a problem with military rations

how much do we have left?

we dont have plenty since we've been giving rice away

stop distributing the rice

yes sir

there is a more serious problem

what is it?

there is a report that an army of over 50000 soldiers is headed north

over 50000?

where did all those soldiers appear from?

they gathered 40000 soldiers in jeolla an area we havent occupied yet

you should have listened when i said we should advance to jeolla first

we would have occupied it by now and wouldnt have any problems with military rations

the problem is other soldiers are continuing to join them along the way

by the time they reach hanyang they could be 60000 in number

and

is there more?

there are over 10000 soldiers across imjingang

are we going to be surrendered?

konishi kato

what should we do?

what can we do?

i would just sit around and wait

we could be attacked from top and bottom

we should attack first

we should do that

divide our forces

one to attack the joseon army in the north and other to stop the joseon army

that is headed north

fine

send patrols to each area and check out their movement

be prepared to go to battle right away when the order is given

is that understood?

yes sir

choose about a hundred quick men and send them as patrols

check out the geography of the imjingang area and the situation of the joseon army?

that's the official reason

what's more important is to find out where the king of joseon is after

we occupy the imjingang area

we have to capture him first

understood

king's temporary quarters in pyeongyang

how far did the wae army get?

the man who seems to be the leader arrived in the capital

but there is no movement to head north yet

there is no movement

their army was damaged quite a bit while fighting against our army

they are probably reorganizing

how many do we have in number?

50000 soldiers from the three provinces led by lee gwang kim su and yun seongak are headed north

the 7000 soldiers led by the supreme field commander

who defended hanyang and the 5000 soldiers led by the yudodaejang are also headed to pyeongyang

there are 1000 soldiers of pyeongan-do and 2000 soldiers of hwanghae-do

right here in pyeongyang so we have at least 70000

70000

that's not a small number

yes your majesty

we have enough military power to fight

what about military rations?

we have about 40000 sacks

did you say 40000 sacks?

yes

after receiving your order to have the royal carriage greeted we had all the crops nearby moved here

we sent word to the distant regions to send rations to pyeongyang

they should be arriving soon

good good

what do you think councilor?

isnt it worth a fight?

yes your majesty

pyeongyangseong is like a steel fortress

we should be able to stop the enemy

have everyone gather

i didnt know the country was in danger

i left the capital because of a sudden attack by wae

public sentiments were lost and the country is at the edge of a cliff

i have to pay for that with death

pyeongyangseong will be the last line of defense

i will bury my bones here

you made a courageous decision

your majesty you are this counyry

we are still in danger

you cant take action yourself

please take care of yourself

i installed a crown prince

why should i worry about anything?

we didnt have a chance until now

let the entire country know that a crown prince has been installed

that being done i will fight in battle myself

release all criminals except for traitors and exempt crop taxes

we have to comfort the people

thank you your majesty

remove my eulogistic posthmous title

that is a title to commemorate your great merits

why do you want to remove that?

i allowed wae to trample us

how could i dare to have a title?

remove it

i will not return to the capital until i defeat the enemy and get revenge for our people

thank you your majesty

your majesty please be strong

he will call you again

please be safe

an old man like me shouldn't return

young people like you should lead the country now

we need experienced people for restoration after the war

restoration

sure

the war will end some day

this country has to be restored

do you know what is most necessary for restoration?

this is what the court ministers will say

military power has to be enchanced to prevent another attack

someone else will want to increase food supplies since the country has to be abundant

someone else will want policy reform

all that depends on having the right person for the job

everyone knows the right answer but there arent many who can solve

problems in a wise manner

talented people who wont harm the livelihoods of the people and

lead the court in harmony

talented people who will enhance military power increase food supplies and

lead in policy reform

they are the treasures of this country and the founation of restoration

dont be tied down by social status and look carefully

i will remember that

i know you were hurt that i followed seoae once in a while

please forgive me

listen

do you know why i wanted you as my son-in-law?

because you were like that

i would have abandoned you if you just followed me because i was your father-in-law

i'm very proud that lee deokhyeong is my son-in-law

father

i dont want to show my back to you so dont come out

father

lee sanhae was the leader of the easterners and lived admist political turmoil

but he know how to keep public and private affairs separate and

was good at discovering talent

he was removed from office during war and left the court

regarding lee sanhae seonjo said a lump of true qi was in his heart and he felt respect for him

your majesty kim myeongwon and his soldiers will arrive in pyeongyang soon

tell him he doesnt have to come to pyeongyang

have him set up a defense line at imjingang and defeat the enemies that head north

wait

i cant let a general who failed in defending hangang defend imjingang

right?

he probably has no choice but to retreat since our army was too small to fight

the large wae army

it wasnt because he was afraid?

let's do this

han eungin went to ming as an envoy

give him control of the army and have him defend imjingang

he is younger than kim myeongwon so he will make better judgments

the order of command wont be unified

then have han eungin take over in emergency situations

yes your majesty

what?

i'm supposed to take orders from han eungin? Kim myeongwon(supreme field commander)

in emergency situations

i dont care

i cant take orders from someone who is much younger

it is to take responsibility for not being able to defend hangang

it's all because of shin gak

if he obeyed my order we could have made a counterattack

did you send a message telling him to return to camp?

yes

Ooh

shin gak's camp yangju gyeonggi-do

general

this is a letter from general kim myeongwon

he wants me to return

what will you do?

you saw what he did at hangang Shin gak(deputy supreme field commander)

i will not fight with a cowardly general who shows his back to the enemy

shin gak will not return to a camp led by someone who has (Kim myeongwon's camp imjingang)

no intention of fighting

i will die here fighting against the wae army

he really

it's insubrodination

he should be punished

send a message

if he doesnt return right away he will be excuted for insubrodination

yes sir

i was appointed as the supreme mobile inspector Han eungin(supreme mobile inspector)

i'm to take command in emergency situations

i heard

but i've been in command for a long time

i'm still the supreme field commander

why am i to receive orders from a mobile inspector?

that cant be

if you want to ask why ask his majesty

did shin gak return?

you cant even control the deputy commander

you call yourself the supreme commander?

no wonder his majesty doesnt trust you

look here

shin gak

general soldiers who look like patrols are headed this way

how many?

it looked like there are about a hundred

wait in ambush

yes sir

attack

collect their heads and send them to his majesty

yes sir

this is kim myeongwon reporting

the deputy commander shin gak should return to my camp after failing to defend hangang

but he is refusing to do so

i insisted that he return since it was your order but he has no intention of fighting

and he is in hiding

there is nothing i can do about that

shin gak is acting in a arrogant manner

show him how strict military law is

set military discipline straight and overcome this national crisis

shin gak

did you know about shin gak?

yes but kim myeongwon and lee yangwon are giving different reports

according to lee yangwon shin gak considers kim myeongwon's order to be unjust

that is the problem

we are at war

whether an order is right or not a superior's order should be followed

what will happen to the order if people dont obey orders just because they're not happu with them?

we're losing all the time because there is no discipline

i will cut off shin gak's head and use him as an example so nobody disobeys an order again

your majesty

shin gak?

as far as i know he is a man of loyalty

if he didnt obey an order there must have been a reason

his majesty gave an order to execute him

what are you talking about?

he cant do that

he is an able general

besides the matter hasnt even been investigated

i tried to stop him

let's go and see his majesty

the liaison officer already left

we have to stop him

lord

we have news of a victory

it's the first news of a victory

where?

shin gak annihilated the enemy at haeyuryeong yangju

he sent the heads of the enemy soldiers

what's wrong?

hurry send another liaison officer

send one right now

do not execute shin gak

i am going to execute shin gak for military discipline

the soldiers will all return to kim myeongwon's camp

did his majesty see the heads of the enemy soldiers?

i dont know

he must have seen them by now

please wait a little while

it's an order to execute him right away

i said wait a little while

it is a sin to leave a coward and kill the enemy soldiers?

if you kill him we will kill you too

step back

general

forget it this is my fate

i died in battle fighting against the wae army

sir

go ahead and kill me

i'm sorry

nagoya

maeda can i take back that move?

baduk is a battle too

are you going to return joseon land after you occupy it?

come on just one move

then have the soldiers in joseon take back a move

i wont play

your majesty

our naval forces in okpo happo and jeokjinpo were annihilated by the joseon naval forces

what?

what fools

the military rations headed to hanyang were also lost

is there a general left in joseon to fight against us?

who is it?

someone named yi sunsin

yi sunsin?

ishida

yes

go to joseon right away and bring me yi sunsin's head

if we cant kill him and stop the joseon naval forces our supply route will be cut off

then it will be over

over

your majesty forget about shin gak

it's truly unfortunate but you cant linger over that

i know

i'm trying to calm myself

i will defeat the enemy to repay shin gak

yes your majesty

the people trust you

let them know your intention and comfort the people

dongdong i'm going to need more pine cones and pine needles

gee

hungry people picked everything that was left

there arent even any traces of pine needles

i'm sorry

i wont let you suffer again

i promise you

you will be able to return home when we achieve a virtory at imjingang

do you mean that?

yes your can believe that

i will defeat the wae army and return to the capital with you

hurray for his majesty

hurray hurray hurray

your majesty you can give the people false hope

why are you so sure of a victory at imjingang?

a battle isnt just fought with numbers

if you fight in this condition you will lose the battle at imjingang

are you trying to lecture me again?
