are you a government official too?

hey

step back or we'll kill you

let's go

come on let's go

sir are you alright?sir

sir

i'm alright

find out what's going on

yes yes sir

let's go before the officials come

hurry up

come on

let's go before the officials come

who are you?

are you the officials of jeongju?

yes who are you?

i serve the lord of pungwon ryu seongryong

i'm shin myeongcheol

he's at the governement building

he was people plundering crops

what's going on?

dont even talk about it

when they heard wae occopied pyeongyang and his majesty took refuge the people all turned into rioters

it isnt just jeongju

a thousand sacks of military rations in gasan were taken

the military rations in sunsan sukcheon anju yeongyeon and bakcheon were all taken too

that's over 2000 sacks of military rations

how did it end up like this?

it's because the people think they have to hide in the mountatins for a long time

the problem is there arent any government officials to stop them

most of them were drafted for battle and over half of the ones who remained fled

there are only about fifteen of them outside

how will they stop hundreds of rioters?

we need to get those military rations back

it's rice that will save our country

there arent any soldiers

how are we to capture them and get the rice back?

it's a fight between hoodlums at the market we could just get to the leader and they would surrender

but they're hiding right now

oh boy

really

i'm good at going after one person

even if there are hundreds of rioters there must be a leader

he's a villager you must know him

yes he's a butcher named bau

chilseong and yeongchul serve him

three

is there a storage that still has crops?

do you think there would be?

fill rice sacks with straw

let's lure them and catch the leader

yes sir

tell them

if you dont i'll use my knife

everyone it's me bau

bring the rice back to the government building

they wont execute us if we go now

if we dont go now we'll all be killed

bring the rice right now

if you dont come i'll have to give them your names

government building in jeongju

if the country is in danger you should think of fighting for the country

how can you steal military rations?

dont you know it's the same thing as kiling our soldiers?

sir you said you would spare us

i said i would spare you did i say i wouldnt punish you?

you should be punished if you did wrong

you will be flogged a hundred times

sir that will kill us

how is that different from an execution?

please spare us

please spare us

there is one way

what is it?

we'll do anything

we dont have enough men

we cant move 2000 sacks of rice here from gwiseong

can you move them here?

we'll do it we'll do it sir

we'll do it

yeongbyeon bunjo(temporary court)

he's using the refugees to move rations?

yes crown prince

he is the lord of pungwon indeed

their crime wasnt light

if they are forgiven this easily i'm worried the people will take plundering of military rations lightly

the few leaders should be executed and their heads should be hung up for display

no it's the royal family and court that made them commit such acts

if anyone is to be punished we should be punished first

the people are being killed by wae soldiers and starving to death

do they have to be killed by us too?

we dont qualify to kill them

tell the lord to comfort them well

crown prince rioters are rebels

shouldnt we report this to his majesty?

this is the joseon court

we dont have to report it

do as i say

yes crown prince

seonjo insisted on dividing the court He left gwanghae in yeongbyeon

he passed through bakcheon jeongju ssoncheon and yongcheon and

arrived in uiju the nothern border area near amnokgang on lunar june 22

ryu seongryong secured 3000 sacks of military rations (Temporary quarters in uiju)

i heard rioters stole the rations

how did he secure 3000 sacks?

he suppressed the rioters and convinced them to return the military rations

were they executed?

they were forgiven and used to move the military rations in gwiseong to

jeongju and gasan

the rioters werent executed?

those military rations were food for the ming soldiers who will save this country

anyone who stole it is a traitor

who is he to spare their lives?

please calm down

its a serious crime to steal the military rations

but giving them a chance to make up for that and using them as resources was

a truly excellent solution

at least have the leaders executed

send a liaison officer now

your majesty

when the country is in chaos the weight of the national laws have to be shown

send a liaison officer

the crown prince already gave an order not to punish the rioters

what?he did that without asking me?

how bold of him

withdraw that order and relay my order

your majesty you left all national matters to the crown prince

if you give another order bunjo will lose authority

right i left national matters to him

i forgot

the king of this country is the crown prince

how can you say such a thing?

this is why i said you shouldnt divide the court

no no no

i ruined the country

i dont qualify to be the king

the crown prince will do a good job

your majesty

your majesty the vice commander of yodong zu chengxun just arrived in uiju with

5000 soldiers for reinforcement

is this true?

hurray for joseon

june 19 1592

5000 soldiers led by the vice commander of yodong zu chengxun crossed amnokgang

that was 70 days after war broke out

there was civil war in ming but the fact they only sent 5000 soldiers

as an elite army meant they didnt know how powerful the wae army was

ming joining the war became a turning point

the war turned into one of the three countries of northeast asia

i'm the vice commander of yodong zu chengxun

the emperor ordered me to come here and save joseon

welcome general i waited for you for a long time

heaven hasnt abandoned this country yet

the emperor hasnt forgotten our country

the wae army will fun when they see the army you brought

how will i repay you for this?

no need

ming and joseon are like brothers

its natural that we help each other

thank you thank you very much

bring it

bring it now

what is this?

the emperor gave 20000 nyangs of silver

hang in there

open it

your majesty

i will head to pyeongyangseong right away

no no you came a long way

you should rest a bit i will prepare a banquet

get some rest with your soldiers

no i'm not thirsty for wine

i'm thirsty for the heads of wae soldiers

i will go and recover the fortress

hold a banquet for me at pyeongyangseong

general

let's go to war

yes sir

general

did you hear any other news?

what news?

i...no never mind

you should go

i wish you luck

i would like to reward you with silver cups for escorting the royal carriage this far

100 nynags to the ministers and 50 nyangs to the officials eunchs

and royal guards

5 nynags to the servants too

thank you your majesty

thank you very much

but we cant accept the silver

keep it well and reward it to the soldiers who achieve merit in this war

yes your majesty everything is lacking

if you give to the soldiers it will help enhance morale

there is plenty of silver

i will reward the generals and soldiers who achieve merit later on

if you want to give it to us send it to bunjo to settle public sentiments and encourage soldiers

yes your majesty

bunjo is serving the ancestral tablets

give the crown prince some support

how can we accept silver when we turned the country into this state?

i think it should be sent to the crown prince to be used an national expenses

it isnt time yet

bunjo doesnt have any activities or merits

they could become lax if i reward silver first

i will decide after i see what merits are achieved by bunjo

your majesty you left all the national matters to the crown prince

it is bunjo that needs fiancing not us

please send them some silver

listen

i might have left national affairs to the crown prince but until i reach yodong

this place with me and the queens is the court

i didnt say anything but people like ryu seongryong are aleady ignoring me

he only reported to bunjo about the military rations

are you ignoring me too?

is bunju the only court?

that's not what we mean

bunjo needs power and authority to overcome the national crisis

forget it dont accept it then

governement building in jeongju pyeongan-do

sir

the reinforcements from ming left uiju and are headed this way

they're finally here

how many?

5000

5000...5000

we're in trouble

we only have enough rations for 3 days

sir

asanchang sent 1200 sacks of rice as tax

tax?heaven is helping us

it's a good thing the enemy didint occupy chungheong-do and jeolla-do

divide up the rice

move 200 sacks to jeongju 200 to gasan and 800 to anju

they cant run out of military rations where there are reinforcements

yes sir

the rioters will suffer quite a bit

they're paying a lot for what they did

i thought it would be hard to secure military rations

i'm surprised at how well you prepared

you came a long way to help us

we shouldnt neglect you

we only have 3-4 days worth of ration

we're seeking measures

dont worry

we have 100000 sacks of rations

where?

at pyeongyangseong

general

we'll recover pyeongyangseong soon

those rations will be ours

i'm sure you heard

the matchlocks used by the wae army are very powerful

you shouldnt take them lightly

he is right

i experienced them myself

the matchlocks only have a firing distance of a hundred strides but we have cannos that can destroy

the enemy from a thousand strides

the matchlock is nothing compared to our cannons

what?

the king of joseon wants to take refuge in yodong?

yes your majesty

i sent zu chengxun and soldiers

i even sent plenty of silver

why is he so afraid?

zu chengxun only has an army of 5000 compared to the large army of wae

he might be nervous because of that

what are you talking about?

we have cannons and the soldiers of yodong can fight one against a hundred

once bobai's insurrection is suppressed i will send li rusong

he's probably worried he might be captured before that

he's so weak

he's busy fleeing from the wae army

he's the king of a country but he has no guts

i dont like him

people get weak in times of great trouble

please understand

were you a joseon person in your former life?

you're always siding with joseon

what's wrong with you?

what is it?

when your concubine was sold a joseon inspector saved her right?

if it wasnt for joseon you wouldnt have met her

your majesty

fine fine tell him to come

thank you your majesty

but have him stay in an empty government complex in kuandian bastion (Kuandianxian of manchuria)

what?that's pretty shabby place

it's also dangerous because of the jurchens

he will feel humiliated

you should just tell him not to come

i'm telling him not to come

he wouldnt if he had the least pride

tell him what i said

your majesty

a person should feel humilated and overcome it to become stronger

your majesty thank you for the silver (temporary quarters in uiju)

i feel sorry that i'm making the queens suffer

oh no you showed consideration for me in this difficult situation

i dont know what to say

i will use it well

well?how will you spend it?

will you buy rice for the refugees?

or will you buy salt and medicinal herbs for them?

that's good use of the silver in the current situation

what did you do with your silver?

i sent it to the crown prince

what?the crown prince?

it's not a lot but i sent it so he could use it for military expenses

that's the good use i found for it

listen

why are you so indifferent to him?

you loved gongbin at one time

he is her son

he is the crown prince who you left national affairs to

he is serving the former kings and this country

you should help him

stop it

i'm waiting to see how he does

i'm not being indifferent

dont interfere with my politics

your majesty

i'm sorry it's my fault

i wasnt thinking

i will give the silver i received to the refugees

what's wrong with you?

no her highness is right

please give your approval

do what you want

your majesty the inspector-general returned from yodong

he did?

i'm glad you're back

what was the answer from ming?

i'm sorry but

go ahead and tell me

the emperor approved of you coming but he said you should stay in

an empty government building in

did you say an empty governement building in kuandian bastion?

yes your majesty

that's the front line of defense against the jurchens

you must have heard wrong

check again

i checked several times

i'm really supposed to stay in kuandian bastion?

yes your majesty

how can ming do this to us?

we served ming with etiquette and all our hearts

we might be in a tough situation but he wants me to stay in

a governement building where barbarians might attack at any time?

they cant do this

they cant

your majesty they are showing contempt

this is better

dont leave the country

fight for your life here

rather than being choked with sorrow as someone seeking asylum

wouldnt it be better to fight with our governement officials?

that's right your majesty

reinforcements are here from ming

according to a report from the national defense council

in jeolla-do gwon yul is reorganizing the army and joining forces with the righteous troops

yi sunsin is rulling the ocean

in gyeongsang-do gwak jaeu defeated wae soldiers headed to jeolla-do

you have nothing to fear

dont be too disappointed

i didnt know ming would be so cold

forget about it

i was worried

if you went to yodong and stayed there for a long time the servants and people would have

followed the crown prince as the king

this could be a sign from heaven for you to maintain your power

abolish bunjo and get back all authority for national affairs

i wont go to yodong

thank you your majesty

i wasnt comfortable about going there

i will take the lead in overcoming this national crisis

i'm going to unite the court again

your majesty that isnt a wise decision

that's right your majesty

since i'm not going to yodong isnt it a matter of course to unite the court?

of course

it's only been 10 days since the court was split up

if you unite it again the soldiers and people will fall into great confusion

keep it divided and encourage the officials and people with both courts

the councilor is right

we are facing a dangerous situation

it isnt wise for both of you to be together

even if one side faces difficulty the other can take on national affairs

having separate royal orders can cause confusion in national affairs

the court was divided with a premise that i go to yodong

it should be united again

it is a matter of course for you to take on national affairs but you already gave the crown prince

the task of settling public sentiments and driving out the wae army

it wont be helpful at all in overcoming this crisis to call the crown prince here

that's right your majesty

you gave him a task see how he does

if he doesnt do a good job you can unite the court then

the court will naturally be united when you return to the capital

you should wait until then

i agree

i agree too

fine

but i will decide the important national matters

yes your majesty

nagoya

the maritime supply route was cut off

they didnt occupy jeolla-do the grain belt

what are they doing over there?

surprises always exist

did you send the vessels in tsushima to wakisaka?

yes they should have arrived in busan about now

wakisaka will have a total of seventy vessels

he'll settle this for sure

why do you trust him so much?

i know him

he is one of the seven generals who achieved merit at the battle of shizugatake

but he knows that kato and fukushima dont recognize him much

maeda you dont recognize him as one of the seven generals either right?

he doesnt have a high a reputation or skills as kato or fukushima

that's why he'll fight even harder

wakisaka will definitely bring me yi sunsin's head

wait and see

we will go to gyeonnaeryang and reorganize (south sea headquarters of the japanese naval forces)

we will go through the south sea and go the west sea

take a scout ship and two vessels tomorrow (Wakisaka yasuharu)

go to thsis island

annihilate any joseon soldiers that are left and have our fleet dock there

yes sir

his majesty sent a large fleet of vessels

he ordered that we annihilate the joseon naval forces and bring the head of yi sunsin

dont retreat or flee

if you retreat from this battle you wont be killed by joseon soldiers

i will kill you myself

is that understood?

yes sir

asanchang sent 1200 sacks of rice in this difficult situation

it's because you defended the ocean and protected jeolla-do and chungcheong-do

what's regrettable is that his majesty is thinking of going to yodong

but this country doesnt just belong to the king alone

dont be in depair

fight for the people who have to return home

i'm always praying for your safety

thank you

i didnt do anythign what else could i do?

get some rest i will write a reply soon

yes sir

general it's an urgent message from heo naeman in busan

gather the officers

yes sir

the officers of the wae naval forces joined the fleet in busanpo

they're receiving support from the main land and looking for a chance to make a counterattack

stay focused

they must be angry they were defeated last time

did you check the information we received from kim cheonson?

yes he was right

about 70 vessels have been docked at gyeonnaeryang since two this afternoon

gyeonnaeryang (cost of geojedo)

it's narrow and there are many rocks

their vessels are smaller than our panokseons

they will have an advantge

gyeonnaeryang is close to land

if they are defeated and go on land the people who live on the coast will suffer much damage

we will lure the enemy ships to hansando

and annihilate them

dont stall hurry up

hamgyeong-do kato kiyomasa's camp

catch him

please spare me please spare me

you're trembling

i might look rough but i have a soft heart

dont be afraid fill my glass

please

i have a husband

what?you have a husband?

i have a wife

it's alright come here

you wretch

kill her husband right now

give her to the hungry soldiers

yes sir

let's go

please how dare you?

please spare me

general

what is it?

what?

what is it?

general konishi occupied pyeongyangseong

what?what about the king of joseon?

he fled he wasnt there

poor konishi he always ends up like that

that's not how a hunt is done

he should have cut off his path

wait and see

the king of joseon will come to hamyeong-do

yeongbyeon bunjo(temporary court)

hello lord

i got military rations to the reinforcements

the soldiers are resting so i came to see you

i'm glad you came

i have something to discuss with the ministers

i'd like your opinion too

what do you need?

i thought about it

i will not go to gangye

it was a royal order by his majesty

i know but gangye is a border area

going there is taking refuge

how can i encourage the soldiers and righteous troops to save the country?

i plan to go to gangwon-do an area the enemy occupied

i will go to maengsan from there

it connects to many villages

it will be convenient to encourage the people and the righteous troops

it's dangerous

it's dangerous

this place is dangerous too

if zu chengxun's army is defeated it will be just be a matter of time before the wae army comes here

wouldnt it be better to enter the enemy camp and confuse them?

i can encourage our soldiers and righteous troops after that

you cant do that crown prince

go to gangye as his majesty ordered

his majesty left all national affairs to me

i dont have to follow his orders

you cant cancel bunjo right away but you cant leave it for a long time

i know i cant let the people follow the crown prince more than me

what do you think lord?

crown prince i'm very proud of you

do as you wish

thank you

i will take his majesty's place and take the lead in overcoming this crisis
