The Jingbirok a memoir of imjin war

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

crown prince

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

if you want to encourage the officials and people its very dangerous to stay in just one place

you should go to pyeongan-do hamgyeong-do and gangwon-do accroding to

the state of affairs

good idea

in addition you must not neglect the defense of bunjo (temporary court that is separate from the main court)

i will have kim ugo escort me

lee sieon will sweep the enemy when a new location for bunjo is decided

you should disperses reserve forces just in case

i will have lee ll take some soldiers and stay in seongcheon

lee ll is

i know but i'm going to give him another chance

i will go to maengsan and make an appeal in writing

then i'll go south to yangdeok to avoid the enemy

that's a good idea

you need to stay somewhere for a few days

and receive reports from the eight provinces

probably

where would be good?

icheon gangwon-do would be good

this is about the middle of the eight provinces and the wae army isnt there Jeong tak(fourth state councilor)

so it would be good to receive information from the eight provinces

what brings you here?

i thought you were in uiju

i was bored i asked to come here

if i knew you were here i wouldnt have had to come

no no i have to leave again to find military rations

i'm relieved that you are here

dont mention it

i came to die fighting against wae

use me all you can

thank you you will give me great strength

sir

sir i'm sorry

you're not being given another chance because you are capable

it's because we dont have enough people

if you flee again making excuses about future plans

it wont be the wae soldiers who kill you

i'll be the one to kill you

is that understood?

yes sir please trust me

i wont disappout you this time

dont just talk

show me with action

what?bunjo is being moved?

yes

understood

what?you want me to go and attend on prince gwanghae?

i was the assistant proctor of the palace treasury i cant be a servant

you are wanted to receiving bribes

do you want to be get caught in official clothes and be executed?

it wasnt just me

what's wrong with everyone?

you should be careful too

who knew i would end up in this pathetic situation just like that?

dont worry about me

infiltrate bunjo and report every move that prince gwanghae makes

i planted a court lady too

is there a need to go that far?

his majesty isnt going to yodong

the crown prince is just a puppet

what do you know?

its public sentiment that can change the king

in this situation where the court is divided if prince gwanghae fights in battle and

wins the hearts of the people

he will gain more power as the leader of bunjo

that will threaten his majesty's authority

you mean prince gawnghae could become the king?

then i shouldnt spy on him

i should form some ties and

listen even people of the low class have trust and loyalty

how can you say that?

i'm sorry

prince sinseong's life and my life depend on this

watch every move prince gwanghae makes and report to me

okay

my dear sister

prince gwanghae isnt going to ganggye

he is going to gangwon-do to fight against wae

unlike seonjo who took refuge in uiju prince gwanghae went to enemy territory

he sent letters to officials and righteous troops around the nation

telling them to carry out joint strategies

when merits were achieved he even gave servants ranks

in preparation for the winter battle he gave cloth to the servants and soldiers

for villages where the magistrates fled he dispatched new magistrates

the people bagan to follow bunjo but seonjo wasnt happy about that

the strategy was all planned

what are you thinking about?

i'm getting rid of my fear

do you get afraid too?

myriarch jeong

yes

we fought fierce battles

why do you think we were able to survive?

well...the conviction and courage of the generals and soldiers

that too but it isnt just because we are courageous

while we fight in battle someone is praying for us

like my mother

except for the sort time i stayed in jeongeup after passing the national examination

i always stayed in border areas

i couldnt take good care of my mother

i'm afraid of that

i'm afraid i wont be able to see her again

she's probably praying for me again right now

i'm afraid i wont be able to see her again

admiral

you and the soldiers must survive

for the sake of our mothers

dont worry admiral

hansando coast july 8 1592(fourth month of the war)

increase speed dont lose them

increase speed! increase speed

yi sunsin this will become your grave

sir the enemy boats are entring our firing range

yi sunsin

they must never enter our ocean again

dont let a single man leave alive

fleet charge charge

july 1592 the battle at hansando was a perfect victory for joseon

japan lost the control over the south coast

some historains claim this battle was the reason the japanaese soldiers in

pyeongyang couldnt head further north

this battle put a brake on japan's ambition to conquer joseon and ming

king's temporary quarters in uiju

he was told to encourage the officials and people but bunjo is serving

the ancestral tablets of the former kings

he entered enemy territory

that was truly rash

if that's true the problem is he didnt report it to me

your majesty

did you find out?

bunjo led by the crown prince left yeongbyeon

they are in icheon gangwon-do

how can this be?

call all the ministers right now

i said i would decide the important matters

the crown prince practically entered the enemy camp without discussing it with me

this is mutiny

your majesty how can you say it's mutiny?

when you divided the court you told the crown prince to encourage the officials and people and overcome this national crisis

you gave him the right to take on national affairs without your orders

even if it is a bit more dangerous than the border area the crown prince chose to

go to gangwon-do since its better for nationwide communication

that's right you cant say it's mutiny

it was a courageous act to abide by your wishes to overcome this crisis

you should reward him highly

what are you talking about?

i'm not saying he shouldnt fight

i'masking why such an important matter wasnt discussed with me

taking on national affairs without my orders?

i'm not in yodong i'm in uiju

he is looking down on me by not reporting to me

i cant let this go

your majesty if bunjo had to report and wait for an answer it would have taken a lot of time

i'm sure he was going to report it after he moved the location

please dont misunderstand

yes the crown prince only intends to defeat the wae army as you wish

please consider that

please consider that

bunjo serves the ancestral tablets

if wae gets a hold of those tablets it will be the fall of our country

bunjo shouldnt act rashly

this isnt just about taking on national affairs

he is going beyond royal authority

your majesty how can you say such a thing?

we didnt receive word that bunjo is in danger

if you punish the crown prince the soldiers and righteous troops that

gathered because of his appeal will all disperse again

that will benefit the wae army

remember what happened to shin gak

are you saying i'm getting in the way of overcoming a national crisis?

your majesty

how can you distort our loyalty like that?

fine i'm an incapable and foolish king

i should have let you just go with the crown prince

actually you can go now

defeat the wae with the wise crown prince

i will cheer for him here and die here

your majesty just kill us

kill us

your majesty kill us

fine let's say he made a reckless decision because he is young

i'll believe it was out of patriotism

but i cant forgive the ministers who didnt support him

chief royal secretary

yes your majesty

strip all the ministers of bunjo of their positions and remove them from office

his majestyreally gave such an order?

yes

how can he do such a thing?

he should encourage bunjo for fighting

how can he be so narrow-minded?

does that mean bunjo doesnt exist anymore?

his arms and legs were cut off

what can the crown prince do by himself?

his majesty can fight then

the problem is he wont

he's not doing anything himself

why did he cut off the arms and legs of the person who is willing to do the work?

how should i know?

cheonri i will write you a letter

go to icheon

yes sir

icheon gangwon-do temporary location of bunjo

you didnt do anything wrong

he should just say he's not happy with me

how can he do this?

i will step down

i will give up being the crown prince

that is what his majesty wants

you cant do that

we will just go

continue taking the path you took

what can i do without you?

i will step down

what about the people who follow you?

government soldiers and righteous troops are moving because of you

if you step down this country will fall

please dont abandon the people

if i refuse to obey his majesty

and push on with my intentions

will you join me?

crown prince

public sentiments arent in uiju

they are here with bunjo

can you trust public sentiments and consider bunjo to be the court and join me?

you cant do that

if you do that no matter what public sentiments are you will be a tratior

what am i supposed to do?

the lord of pungwon sent a letter

take a look

beg for forgiveness with the ministers and give all credit to his majesty

that is what his majesty wants

that is the only way to prevent the collapse of bunjo and fight against wae

your majesty please forgive me

please forgive us

please forgive me

please forgive us

your majesty please forgive me

please forgive us

please forgive me

please forgive us

your majesty i'm only your hands and feet

if you tell me to die i can die at any time

i just regret that i couldnt lessen your burden

please forgive the ministers of bunjo and punish me

your majesty please forgive the crown prince

the appeal he went nationwide said it was in accordance with your orders

that's right it was wrong of him to disobey your order

but it was to abide by your wishes

your digniy and authority were enhanced even more

the ministers are also repenting

they wont make a mistake like this again

showing generosity to one person in difficult times is the same as

gaining a hundred talented people

they are the crown prince and the ministers of this country

please consider that

please consider it

fine since the crown prince is repenting and the ministers are begging i will let it go

i'm ony fogiving them to avoid public sentiments from dividing

if anything like this ever happens again i will not forgive them

thank you your majesty

where are the righteous troops that received my appeal being raised?

welcome magistrate

dont call me that i was removed from office gwon yul's camp jeolla-do

that's why i'm even more grateful Gwon yul(provincial military commander)

the court abandoned you but you raised righteous troops

i'm only trying to be loyal as i was taught Ko gyeongmyeong

these are my sons inhu and jonghu

welcome

your entire family is fighting?

shouldnt you send one home?

thank you for your concern but what's the use of having a family if the country falls?

we are going to share our fate with our nation's fate

magistrate

how many righteous soldiers are there?

7000 including 100 on horses

thank you they will be of great help

go on in

let's go

i'm kim myeon

welcome the tiger of geochang is here

yi sunsin is defending the ocean well

the enemy's supply route has been cut off

they are using geumsan as an advance base to try to attack jeolla-do our grain belt

if they try to enter jeolla-do from geumsan they will attack ichi and ungchi

to occupy jeollla-do

right if jeonjuseong falls they'll get to jeolla-do right away

but we dont enough men to defend both ichi and ungchi

that is why i called you here

let's join forces and stop the wae army

if we join forces we could easily stop the war army

we must not let them have jeolla-do

of course not

july 1592

early july 1592

the japanese army was ordered to occupy jeolla-do

in order to occupy jeonju they attacked ungchi and ichi

the joseon army was annihilated at ungchi but gwon yul and hwang jin defended ichi

meanwhile the righteous troops led by ko gyeongmyeong attacked the enemy's rear

at geumsanseong and made them retreat

the ichi battle was the first victory by the allied forces of government soldiers and righteous troops

the japanese army didnt succeed in occupying jeolla-do

father

inhu

we defended jeolla-do thank to you

no we defended this country

i will be sure to overcome this so you and the righteous soldiers didnt die in vain

king's temporary quarters in uiju

yi sunsin and gwon yul achieved victories?

is this true?

yes your majesty on the same day

its a truly happy day

heaven in helping us

your majesty its a news of victory

what is wrong?

i'm not all happy

yi sunsin defeated many enemy soldiers

jeolla-do was defended too

why arent you happy?

many of our people were sacrificed to stop the wae army

how can i be happy?

i'm in pain

when i think of the people who died

it burns my heart

daejo and bunjo will refrain from wine and meat for three days

that is all i can do for the people who died

thank you your majesty

pyeongyangseong konishi yukinaga's camp

the ocean was cut off so was jeolla-do

the rear is a mess

how can we head north when the rear is so unstable?

it's also a problem the reinforcements fro ming are headed this way

thats right if the joseon army and righteous troops attack us from behind

when we fight against ming we will be isolated

darn

what about rations?

we still have enough

we have to make a decision before we run out of military rations

what are you doing?

you were brought here to negotiate since you know the situation of joseon well

what did you do so far?

i'm sorry i never expected the king of joseon to flee and didnt expect

such resistance from the naval forces and righteous troops

general

the soldiers are collapsing from dysentery

what?

the soldiers are getting weak from diarrhea and vomiting

it's an endemic

how many people are sick?

close to 3000

3000?

darn

over 2000 soldiers are sick hamgyeong-do kato kiyomasa's camp

are you alright?

it's not serious

but i'm not perfectly well

darn how am i supposed to say i'm leading the best army?

an appeal by the prince was discovered in this village

what?

joseon soldiers and people

get up and defeat wae prince imhae

what does this mean?

i asked a prisoner

it's a letter telling joseon soldiers and people to fight against us

nosense

they have no fear how dare they?

did you say prince?

koichi

put up a notice where this letter was

say this country has fallen and anyone who captures the prince will

be rewarded with high ranks and awards

understood

they entered my den huh?

if i get the prince of joseon the king will practically be mine

nagoya

your majesty

are you calm down?

what is the damage we suffered?

60 of wakisaka's 73 vessels sunk or were captured

wakisaka

it's a tragic defeat

you have to execute wakisaka

because of his defeat we cant advance to the west coast

and the south coast's supply route was cut off

he was eager for frame and fell for a trap by the enemy

what a fool

your majesty you cant forget his merit

what are you talking about?

he lost all my ships what merit?

did you forget about the yongin battle?

with 1600 soldiers he achieved a victory against over 50000 joseon soldiers

so?

if he was defeated the 50000 joseon soldiers would have

advanced to joseon and joinded forces with the army in the north

they would have surrounded our army

if that was the case our army couldnt have taken pyeongyang so easily

he isnt the best general but we dont have anyone else to lead

our naval forces

let him take this as a lesson and give him a chance to fight with his life

its not hard to give him another chance

but as long as yi sunsin isnt eliminated we wont be able to occupy the joseon ocean

there is only one way

i have to go to joseon

your majesty

if the marine route was cut off we can take jeolla-do by land

after occupying jeolla-do by land

we can attack from the north and south

the joseon naval forces will be isolated on the ocean

it doesnt matter how good yi sunsin is

he wont be able to last forever

prepare to go to joseon

yes your majesty

your majesty

maeda i know what your concerns are

if tokugawa starts a rebellion while i'm gone everything will go to waste?

why are you doing this when you know that?

tokugawa cant start a rebellion

what?

you're standing right here

how can he start a rebellion?

tokugawa doesnt let his emotions show much but he scares easily

even if he knows it's a secure stone bridge he wont cross it

but you never know

take my place and make him know he is being watched

if he makes the slightest move take the 30000 soldiers in kyoto and

the 100000 reserve soldiers in nagoya and kill them all

your majesty

i trust you and i trust tokugawa is a coward

your majesty

dont stop me i'm going to go

i will occupy joseon soon and call for you

dont fight while i'm gone

its not that your majesty

osaka

osaka?what about osaka?

dont cry tell me nene

o-mandokoro passed away Hideyoshi's mother

your majesty

that cant be

i was going to take tsurumatsu's ashes with me and show joseon to mother

she wouldnt die in vain like that

yodo she's lying to keep me from going to joseon right?

your majesty o-mandokoro passed away

your majesty

no that cant be

sir

oh what brings you here?

has it been revised?

yes the problem has been solved Lee jangson(chief artillery officer)
