who's there?

me?

i'm from uiyeong i'm gwak jaeu

you

collect all their heads

yes sir

provincial office of gyeongsang

we were looking for gong hwigyeom

where did you

what?are you surprised that we brought the head of someone even governemnt officials couldnt find?

you should have told us if you found out where he was

are you saying we stole your chance to achieve merit?

it's not that

anyway good job

i'll the tell the governor and

i dont need any recognition

we dont have enough weapons

give us some weapons

i cant do that

the weapons here are only given to governement soldiers

look here

dont you see the heads of the wae soldiers?

the country is a candle in the wind

this is no time to disinguish private and government soldiers

anyone who fights against the wae army is a righteous soldiers of joseon

give us weapons right now

it's outside my authority

i cant give you any until the governor approves

then call the governor now

he is away at this time

come back later

we have to fight the wae army

we cant come back here

go and get the weapons

yes sir

sir there are gwak jaeu's righteous troops

what are you doing?

stop right now

i'm glad you're back

i'm from uiryeong i'm gwak jaeu

i heard about you

bot you cant take weapons without approval

you werent here it's an urgent situation

you can approve now

i wont approve

these weapons are only for government soldiers

stealing them makes you thieves

put them all back

did you just call us thieves?

what else can i call people who steal governement weapons?

we're fighting against the wae army if we're thieves what should we call people

like you who run when the wae army appears?

what?

that's right you're busy fleeing

all you need is your two legs

what do you need weapons for?

hunting rabbits?

how dare you talk to us like that?

put the weapons back and leave

government soldiers arent protecting the people

these weapons are needed by the righteous troops who fight against wae

if you dont give us the weapons you are just like gong hwigyeom

who surrendered to wae

are you done?

you should draw your sword to wae soldiers not righteous troops

if you really want a fight i wont refuse

i'm going to report to the court that you're a thief who stole governement weapons

i cant stand to watch this anymore

you're so narrow-minded

what?

report to the court or to the wae army

do what you want

lets go

yes sir

how dare you?

temporary quarters in uiju

even if gwak jaeu achieved merit how could he do such a thing?

looking down on a provincial governor is the same is showing contempt to me

according to the report by kim seongil kim su was also wrong to accuse

righteous troops as thieves

you should give gwak jaeu a rank and recognize his merits

seek unity between governement officials and the righteous troops

yes your majesty

we will overcome this crisis faster if they join forces

it's not unity

how can they unite when the righteous troops look down on government officials like that?

what will happen to the morale of our soldiers if someone like gwak jaeu us given a rank?

you shouldnt give him a rank

you should use him as an example to show the authority of government officials

if you dont other righteous troops with merit and power will try to go over our heads

listen

we should be joining forces at this time

why are you trying to divide public sentiments?

he's not completely wrong

if righteous troops treat the governement in a reckless matter

what makes them different from the powerful families of goryeo that threatened

the royal family with private armies?

when the war is over there is a high possibility they will become private soldiers

that means they can become traitors like jeong yeorip

your majesty that's huge leap

the righteous troops were raised voluntarily

you cant call them traitors

it's always better to be careful

how about giving him a low rank and having the righteous troops come under

the government army to carry out military service?

the government officials will have morep power and the righteous troops wont

be able to ignore them

righteous soldiers should carry out military service too

but these troops werent raised to be part of the government army

they wont listen if you force them

there is a lesson ryu seongryong taught me at the imjingang battle

han eungin and kim myeongwon were both in command

he said we would be defeated

i realized why now

i'm trying to have one command structure

what is wrong with that?

your majesty the imjingang battle was a matter of tactics

but wae is about strategy

tactics and strategy cant be the same

i wont watch righteous troops ignore and mock government soldiers

no matter how right they are its the same as showing contempt to me

bunjo wrote an appeal for righteous troops so tell bunjo

a royal order should be given for righteous troops to reorganize under

the government army for military service

anju pyeongan-do

there are 10000 sacks of rice and millets at changseongchang

there are 4999 sacks of millets 750 sacks of baekjomi and 120 sacks of jeungmi at sakjuchang

we are gathering military rations with difficulty

when will the ming army come?

sir a letter came from lee hangbok

the righteous troops are to reoragnize under the governement army?

prepare to go to icheon

yes sir

what is this?

righteous troops are to join the government army and carry out military service?

gwak jaeu's confrontation against kim su seems to be the problem

the righteous troops dont trust the government

they will not follow this order

that concerns me too

crown prince it's ryu seongryong

lord did you hear?

yes

i dont understand why his majesty gave such an order

you dont know?

it's the same reason he treats you

what do you mean?

he is concerned that you will gain public sentiments if you achieve merit

his majesty will feel burdened if the righteous troops gain power

righteous troops werent raised by his majesty

they were voluntary

even if they achieve merit it wont be his majesty's merit

his majesty wants righteous troops to be government soldiers ad follow his orders

what does that matter in this situation?

you still dont know?

his majesty wants all accomplishments to be in his name

if not public sentiments wont be on his side after the war

according to the letter lee hangbok sent me

its out of concern that the righteous troops will become private soldiers after the war

but that's just an excuse with a low possibility

what should i do?

if i dont relay this order i will be disobeying a royal order

if i relay this order there will be resistance

relay this order to the righteous troops

and relay it with force

what are you talking about?

righteous soldiers think the government is incapable

they will not follow this order and carry out military service

if you force them to do that they will disperse

that's what i think too

that is why his majesty's order should be relayed

you and the court ministers cant change his majesty's mind right now

only the righteous troops can do that

the righteous troops would rather dissolve and go into hiding than join the government army

report that as is to his majesty

his majesty will be surprised but he will decide

whether its better to have righteous soldiers or not

understood

i will realy the order right away

this is absurd

we are to take orders from someone like kim su?

right we're practically being told to die

i'd rather die than take orders from kim su

i cant do that either

we're not doing this to achieve merit and receive ranks

being submissive to kim su is self-destruction of the righteous troops

i'd rather go to jirisan than follow such a royal order

uiryeong gyeongsang-do

will you folloe the royal order or follow me?

i will follow you

the confrontation between gwak jaeu and kim su became a headache for seonjo

the righteous troops took rice and weapons from the government and

seonjo saw them as hoodlums

he thought they would become private soldiers that could threaten

him and the foundation of the nation and put up his guard against them

the righteous troops didnt trust the court and governement army because

they were always busy fleeing

such distrust was the limit to uniting government and private soldiers

we will not serve kim su he is incapable

the righteous groups will dissolve and go to jirisan

are they really citizens of this country?

please calm down

how can i be calm?

how did the crown prince convince the righteous troops for them to

refuse my order like this?

are they all on one side?

how else could they show such contempt?

an order by a king who flees isnt a royal order is that it?

your majesty that's excessive

the righteous troops just dont trust the government officials

they arent trying to show contempt

they were raised out of loyalty for this country please dont doubt that

no they are just hoodlums who want to be private soldiers

they're ignoring a royal order

they will draw a sword to me if they achieve merit and gain public sentiments

gwak jaeu and the righteous soldiers should be arrested

your majesty

what will we do?

what can we do?if we arrest righteous troops that were raised out of loyalty

we will practically be chocking ourselves

the ministers should all write appeals

it is temporary rage

he'll calm down soon

we dont have enough soldiers to fight against wae

we cant arrest the righteous troops

i'm afraid he will take out his rage on the crown prince

he thinks they are all the same

your majesty

are you really going to arrest the righteous troops

because they wont perform military service?

do you really think they are hoodlums?

if you really think so give me the order right now

i will bring their heads

you know they are not hoodlums

like your concern they could become hoodlums and traitors

that isnt up to them

its up to you

what?

are you saying i'm turning them into traitors?

yes your majesty

the righteous troops leaders consider cause and justification to be

more important than their lives

they raised the troops out of pure loyalty

if you treat them as hoodlums and traitors how do you think they will express

their unfair treatment and rage?

give them positions instead

i should punish them but you want me to give them positions?

a general dies for a master who recognizes him

if you praised their spirit and loyalty they would be truly touched

there wont be any discussion of merits so they wont become hoodlums or traitors

your majesty that is an intelligent solution

recognize the righteous troops as a separate body?

that would be better in driving out the wae army

the wae army sees the righteous troops to be separate

the government army should fight the wae army where they are visible and

the righteous troops that make unexpected attacks in unseen places can confuse

the reat of the enemy

there couldnt be better tactics

if you eliminate them it would be a bad move for our army

please make a wise decision

give the righteous troops positions and use their strengths

that's a way

understood do that

thank you your majesty

is that what you want or what the crown prince wants?

if you consider what we both want it is what you want

is that so?

i see you know how to speak sweet words too

i'll add one thing

bunjo seems to be defended better

i'd like defense here to be strengthened

i'm nervous because reinforcements from ming arent here yet

i'd like kim ugo who is guarding the crown prince to be in charge of defense in hamgyeong-do and

lee sieon to be in charge of defense in hwanghae-do

lee ll is dispatched in seongcheon

have him come near uiju to defend the wae army

your majesty they are fulfilling

their bunjo duties fully

you should said what i want is what you and the crown prince want

the generals here were given duties fit for the conditions here

what are we to do if they have to be moved to daejo?

the order has been given

say you cant do that

his majesty is testing our loyalty

who knows what he will do if you refuse to obey the order?

you have to be wise about this

understood

i cant cause an internal dispute when we are fighting against wae

i'll have kim ugo go to hamgyeong-do after he escorts me to the next destination

i'll send lee sieon to hwanghae-do after he suppresses the wae army

i am heading to seongcheon so i will ask his majesty to let him stay there until i arrive

please be strong

i have to be

hamgyeong-do kato kiyomasa's camp

why did you send a letter to gwanghae instead of to his majesty?

do you think his majesty will save us?

we'll be lucky he doesnt scold us for being captured

at least gwanghae and i have the same mother

he is leading the court

he will save us

what?the oldest prince didnt send a letter to his father the king

but to his younger brother?why?

he said the court was divided right now

the one representing joseon is the one led by the second prince

is this true?

it's not wrong

are you saying there are two kings?

no the king took refuge so the crown prince is in command of the war

so who is the king?

the one taking refuge or the crown prince in his place?

the king took refuge but the crown prince is carrying out the duties of the king

who am i supposed to get to surrender?

who?

i'm not sure about that

do you think they divided the court to confuse us like this?

would a king who is busy fleeing think that far?

public sentiments are with the crown prince

you should get him to surrender

fine send the letter to the crown prince

yes sir

according to heo naeman 500 new wae vessels arrived at busanjin Yeosu left jeolla naval district

we received the same infromation from the right gyeongsang district

if we annihilate the 500 vessels at busanpo we wont be seeing enemy vessels for a while

that is over ten times our fleet

the way to busanjin is very rough

the enemy will be wating for us at all the inlets on the way

that's right we can fight at sea but if we enter the inlets

we will be in danger

we have to lure them out

that's what we did so far

they were destroyed like that everytime so they might just focus on defense

trust me

was there a time i couldnt lure the enemy?

that's right

the myriarch is an expert at luring the enemy

myriarch

yes admiral

they fell for that strategy many times

it might not be so easy this time

if they dont come i'll go closer

and make them come out

i'm confident trust me

prepare for battle

what are you worried about?

nothing

i know

are you still worried the enemy will come by land and attack us?

there will be an enemy leader who plans to do that

we should train horses and prepare for a fight on land

an order hasnt been given

you shouldnt expect anything

from what we've seen his majesty wont give away his property

admiral an order arrived

his majesty gave the order to use the horses at dolsando and

the nearby ranches for military training

is this true?

your majesty even if the enemy comes by land i have nothing to worry about now

the wae army wont be able to return on land or at sea

i wont forget what you did for the left jeolla naval district

seongcheon government building pyeongan-do

a letter came from kato kiyomasa who is in hamgyeong-do

what does it say?

he is holding imahae and sunhwa hostage

this a letter from imhae suggesting that we surrender

what?

we cant surrender to save prince imhae and prince sunhwa

it isnt even worth a discussion

that's right i heard prince imhae was captured because he was infringing on

the people in that area

he is being punished

we cant just sit by

we have to negotiate

what will we negotiate with?

silver or rice

we dont have silver or rice

even if we had silver and rice we should use it to fight against wae

not give it to wae

you want to just leave the princes like that?

shouldnt we save them?

how many soldiers do we have to send to the enemy camp to save them?

hundreds?thousands?

we dont have such soldiers but even if we did it will be a huge sacrifice

crown prince you should go to bed

its late

do you think i'm a cold person who wont even save his own brother?

why are you saying that?

there is nothing you can do right now

no

if i set my mind on saving them i would have attempted to negotiate

but i dont want to

crown prince

if a prince was killed by the enemy it might be helpful for the people to

want to fight that was my first thought

how did i become like this?

it's not your fault

do you know who made me like this?

his majesty

i hate his majesty

i'm truly disappointed with him

let daejo know and leave it up to his majesty

daejo doesnt have silver or rice either

his majesty wont have a solution

what will you do?

i will have to ask

my mother for forgiveness after i die

for not saving my brother

i'm going to think that imhae and sunhwa died righteously in battle fighting against wae

crown prince

myriarch

dont cry

the myriarch achieved a huge victory

we will follow him defending this ocean

september 1 1592

in the battle to cut off the waterway between busan and the main land of japan

the joseon naval forces destroyed about a hundred japanese vessels and

achieved the greatest result

yi sunsin lost his dear follower myriarch jeong un

jeong un myriarch of nokdo

he couldnt stand to see injustice at all

he was a true soldiers who always took the lead in battle

when wae broke out the first person to insist to yi sunsin that they go to war

was jeong un

the busanpo battle caused huge damage to the japanese base

as a result the japanese army couldnt do much at sea

dont even mention it

when i was luring the enemy vessels bullets came flying

its harder to wait for the admiral's order fi fire then its to wait for my wife

to have a baby

give it a bit faster next time

temporary quarters in uiju

isnt there any word yet from the envoy sent to ming?

no your majesty

your majesty an envoy is coming from ming

is that so?

prepare to greet the envoy and army

yes your majesty

you wanted to see me?

i heard you are looking for someone to recover joseon

yes 10000 nyangs of silver will be rewarded to anyone who solves this problem

he will also be given the title of baijue (Honorary title similar to a feudal lord)

i'm the perfect person for the job

tell me your plan

Shen weijing(general of guerilla warfare)

im the general of guerilla warfare shen weijing

welcome

the emperor must have been upset when he heard vice commander zu was defeated

despite that he sent an envoy

ming and joseon are truly brother nations

i'm deeeply touched

when is the army arriving?

i will prepare military rations if you let me know when

there isnt an army coming yet

what are you talking about? an army isnt coming?

are you saying the emperor didnt send reinforcements?

he did

i'm an army of a million

what?

i will go to pyeongyang and scold them

joseon in a country of etiquette

i will scold them for invading a country without justification

this is no time for joking

it wont be solved like that

call a large army and defeat wae

i'm in place of the emperor

are you giving me an order?

you made the country end up like this and wanted to flee to yodong

you should be begging me to save your country

not give orders

your majesty your majesty

your majesty your majesty

look here

it doesnt matter if you are in place of the emperor

how can you mock the tragic situation of a brother country?

who are you?

i'm ryu seongryong
