cant you tell me?

you cant be an exception

you must promise that you will abide by the agreement i made with

the leader of the wae army

how can i promise you when i dont even know what it is?

that's an excessive demand

i was given the authority of the emperor

are you saying you wont obey the emperor?

that's not what i'm saying

then do as i say

joseon is a brother nation of ming

would i cause it harm?

it's all to help you and this country

just trust me

he's really arrogant

he's treating us like puppets

his majesty is being dragged along by ming

he cant do that

the crown prince wouldnt be like this

this wont do let's go

if something happens to our country

our sins wont be washed away even after we die

you still cant trust me?

no no i'll trust you

your majesty it's yun dusu

it's ryu seongryong

it's jeong cheol

come back later

we're coming in

i'm talking with an envoy

how can you be so rude?

it's alright i'm sure they were curious

of what we were talking about

i'll get going then

what did you talk about?

you cant decide important national matters in secret like this

what did you talk about?

nothing

what are you talking about?

you were just...

nothing nothing

we didnt talk about anything

if you didnt say anything are you saying you only listened?

what did you listen to?

your majesty

he said he would meet the enemy leader at pyeongyangseong and settle this

and we are to abide by the agreement that is made no matter what

how is he going to settle it?

i dont know

you dont know what shen weijing is going to say to the enemy leader?

that's right i dont know

you gave him all authority without knowing anything?

did you really give him all authority?

what was i supposed to do?

he came in place of the emperor

what could i do?

your majesty the country is facing a dire extremity

we might have to receive help from ming but we have to decide our own fate

how could you give all authority to a ming envoy without knowing anything?

how could you do this?

if shen weijing settles this matter and joseon to surrender to wae

we must surrender?

if joseon is give half its land to wae we must abide by that?

he wouldnt settle it like that

let's trust him

we are a brother nation

he wont cause us harm

tell me what your plan is

it's simple

reconcillation they can reconcile

reconcile?

things are chaotic right now

i have no time for joking around

get him out of...

i heard that's what you wanted too

am i wrong?

what?

li rusong is winning but bobai's insurrection hasnt been suppressed yet

and they were only 5000 in number but zu chengxun's army was annihilated

we're in no situation to send an army

fighting wont be the situation

what's important in war is a victory

the best way to achieve a victory is to do so without fighting

what could the grand nation of ming gain by fighting a small island nation?

it's only to restore joseon territory

we cant own wae territory

even if we send reinforcements the best way to minimize damage save the king of joseon and restore their territory is reconciliation

shen weijing he was from jiaxing of zhejiang province

he was neighbors with the family of shi xing's mistress

when he heard they were looking for someone to save joseon he volunteered

people who knew him said he was an eloquent speaker

but couldnt be trusted because he had dual personalities

shi xing chose him because he knew a lot about japan and spoke japanese well

shen weijing plotted with shi xing

they deceived the ming court and had peace talks with japan

later he is called an international con artist

he gave a ming envoy all authority without knowing what is going to happen?

yes

he cant do that

how can we leave the fate of our nation to the tongue of a ming envoy?

his majesty cant do this

no matter how desperate he is he cant do this

i will go to uiju

please calm down

did you forgot this is the court of joseon?

the government officials righteous troops and people are looking to you

even if daejo abides by the ming envoy you dont have to

without your consent the fate of this country is still in our hands

you are right

if his majesty makes a wrong decision

i will not abide by it

give a secert order to ryu seongryong and have him attend the talks

that's a good idea do so

is this true?

what?the crown prince?

yes i'm worried bunjo will ruin important national matters

gwanghae is trying to go over my head

i ought to

your majesty please calm down

you will know every move bunjo makes

just wait and see what happens

did you plant someone there?

my brother

kim gongryang is there?

i told him to watch bunjo to help you

i'm just supposed to wait?

it's better if more wrong is done

instead of pointing out his faults each time hold him responsible all at once after the war

you will get your way with more ease

what do you want?

are you headed to pyeongyang?

i am

i will go with you

what are you talking about?

this is an exclusive meeting

it's a meeting to decide the fate of joseon

someone from the joseon court should be there

i will represent the joseon court

look here your king give me full authority

stay out of this

you dont seem to know

the joseon court is bunjo led by the crown prince

he never approved of your talks

bunjo?

you came to carry our talks in joseon's place but you didnt even know that?

i know

your king wanted to flee to yodong so he established bunjo

it's a joke in the ming court

watch what you say

i received an order from bunjo

i will attend the talks

i knew it

wait a while

it's about time

there might be ministers who try to stop me

you are going to have to prevent that

send someone when i go to pyeongyang and confirm the order

how?

say anyone who stops me can be executed

what?

you cant do that?

then i have nothing to do i'll just have to return to ming

no no

i'll do that

this is an order that anyone who gets in the way can be executed

what?

his majesty knows you received an order from bunjo

he is even more in rage

continue on your way

lord i'm leaving

prepare food well for the ming army

his majesty should help how can he do this?

pyeongyangseong konishi yukinaga's camp

you are in enemy territory but your expression isnt even changing

this is common for generals and envoys of a powerful nation

why is this enemy territory?

this is the jurisdiction of the ming court

leave before the emperor shows rage

the jurisdiction of the ming court?

this is joseon territory

maybe but joseon received our emperor's grace for a long time

its our brother nation

brothers are one so you can say this is ming territory

leave right now

we just want to borrow a path to pay tribute to ming and be recognized

but joseon cut off our path and resisted with force

we had no choice

then retreat all the more

i will ask the emperor about your tribute and let you know

we shed blood to get this far

we wont be able to retreat

then will you have to greet our army

of 700000 which is on standby in yodong

after crushing zu chengxun the ming army is a bunch of misfits

i'm not afraid even if there are hundreds of thousands of them

do you want a fight?

i dont like shedding blood

there could be a way

you want the land south of daedonggang?

that's right

consider it the cost of an unexpected war

we wont advance further north then

fine but i cant decide such an important matter on my own

i will return and report to the emperor

i need some time

how long will it take?

i need 50 days to make the trip to bejing

i will give you his answer in 50 days

fine

for 50 days i will set up signs prohibiting entry and exit

the japanese soldiers arent to leave a radius of 40km from the capital

the joseon soldiers arent to enter that area either

military activities must be banned anywhere in joseon

that's what i want

a truce for 50 days?

yes i stopped them from heading north without a single soldier

you dont have to worry for a while

thank you that's very fortunate

there must have been a condition

what was it?

they want the japanese king to be installed and pay tribue to ming

i said i would ask the emperor

stop speaking nosense

there are many ways to achieve that

they didnt have to start a war

it's because you didnt lend them a path

i cant believe it

they wont stop the war just to be installed and pay tribute

what did you talk about?

stop it

i stopped them from advancing north

what is all the commotion about?

then i'll tell you the truth

i said joseon is a brother nation of ming

if they dont want to fight an army of 700000 standing by in yodong i told them to sit still

are you saying there is a large army in yodong?

of course not i lied

ming doesnt have soldiers to spare at this time

what are you talking about?

you know

do you think i came alone because i wanted to?

all the soldiers were sent to suppress bobai's insurrection

how can soldiers be sent to joseon?

i told them bobai's insurrection would be suppressed soon

i lied and said an army of 700000 was standing by in yodong to ear time

in 50 days the ming army will really sweep them away

oh that was your intention

you are like zhang liang and zhuge liang (strategist of han who had insight)

i didnt want the ministers of joseon to come along because

i thought they would get scared and my plans would be exposed

is that so?

did you head that?he had deep intentions

you shouldnt have been so suspicious

thank you

you are a hero who will save this country

you flatter me

i will go to bejing and bring a huge army

be sure to abide by the agreement with wae

understood i will give a royal order

your majesty you look comfortable

isnt it fortunate?

the enemy wont be headed this way and ming will send a large army

there is a ray of light for our country

we have to shine our own light

what now?

this is a chance to counterattack

the enemy wont be attacking

send an order to all government officials and righteous troops to attack the enemy

what are you talking about?

you want me to go against my word?

what is the meaning of a promise with wae?

they are enemies who plundered our land and people

they are worse than traitors

how can talks be held and promises be made with wae?

that's right

if they promised a truce they must be in a situation they cant advance

we should counterattack and the reinforcements from ming can destroy them further

you dont want me to sleep in comfort even for a one day do you?

how can you say that?

i know what you're saying but i dont want our soldiers and people

to shed blood

if a large army comes from ming wae will be defeated without their sacrifices

why do you want our soldiers to shed blood?

ming soldiers will shed blood too

they will want us to pay a price for that

even if we receive help from ming we have to be the ones to recover our country

please give an order to counterattack

yes your majesty

if we fail the wae army will head north and attack uiju

then everything will be over

dont provoke a beehive by acting rashly

just sit still

how can this be?

he doesnt want us to fight against wae?

yi sunsin and the righteous troops are achieving victories

we should reverse the situation

there cant be truce

his majesty seems to be relying on the reinforcements from ming too much

its truly frustrating

no i cant follow this order

i cant take this

crown prince ryu seongryong is here

send him in

will you go out with me for some fresh air?

is there something you cant say inside?

his majesty seems to be hearing everything

he knows everything that's happening here

are you saying he planted someone here?

yes

should i find this person?

his majesty wont be pleased with that

just know and be careful

understood

you received an order not to fight against wae for 50 days right?

yes it's really frustrating

isnt this a great chance to counterattack?

the wae army could attack us since we'll have our guards down too

we should attack first

the first production of bigyeokjincheolloe is complete

is this true?

yes we'll check the effects at gyeongjuseong first and then

send them to the camps around joseon

that's a good idea

but his majesty will find out

this was planned before the talks between shen weijing and konishi yukinaga

you can say the royal order was relayed to gyeongju after this fight

lord

the surface might be calm but we have to keep moving under the surface

angang gyeongsang-do park jin's camp

park jin(commader in chief of left gyeongsang)

this is bigyeokjincheolloe?

that's right

gyeongjuseong

here goes

throw it away

let's go

let's go

let's go

what?gyeongjuseong was taken?

did they break the truce?

the truce is over

prepare for battle

sir gyeongju is far from here

it could happened before the king's order was relayed

be prudent about this

shen weijing could say we broke the truce

that's a possibility

konishi you should check out the situation

before making a move

what's strange is that new bombs were used at gyeongjuseong

new bombs?

according to the soldiers the steel ball exploded and scattered

steel pieces into their bodies

did the steel ball explode after a little while?

how did you know that?

oh

it's bigyeokjincheolloe

what?

you mean the bomb we tried to get the design for before the war?

that's right

we're not fighting well at sea because of the joseon naval forces

they have a new weapon on land now?

konishi

ukita what brings you here?

what are you doing?

a truce for 50 days?

who said you could make such a decision?

as you know the supply route was blocked off by yi sunsin

our army lacks military rations

we have to occupy jeolla-do the grain belt but we're having difficulty doing that

because of the righteous troops in each area

there is an endemic too

despite that you annihilated the ming army

the enemy had their guard down and we got lucky

they completed a new weapon called bigyeokincheolloe

our army was defeated at gyeongjuseong because of that

gunpowder and bullets are problem too

we need to get them from the main land but the ocean is cut off

it will be winter soon

pyeongyangseong is much colder than japan

our goal is ming

in order to conquer ming we need to take a break

we have to secure our rear for a supply route and military rations

and reorganize the army

that way joseon can become a sure advance base for us

that's not completely wrong

i will let his majesty know and wait for an order

reorganize during the 50 days of truce

yes sir

thank you

anju pyeongan-do

i'm back

good

we swept away the wae army at gyeongjuseong and recovered the fortress

the bigyeokjincheolloe is really amazing

thank you thank you so much

i'm glad i could repay your trust

oh no

the court and people should repay you

thank you thank you so much

sir

sir sir

sir

oh?the double spy is here

what brings you here?

the top commander of the wae army ukita hideie is at pyeongyangseong

is this true?

i saw him with my own eyes

are you trying to deceive us again?

no i deserve to die

i'm alive because of him

i wouldnt betray him again

please trust me

you came running your bare feet to tell this to me?

i was in such a hurry

i didnt know my shoes fell off

i'll trust you

you came running with bloody feet

i have to believe you thank you

sir

seongcheon pyeongan-do

is this true?

yes it's certain information

he doesnt have a lot of soldiers escorting him either

this is a golden opportunity

we can reverse the situation if we capture the top commander

are you worried about the truce?

we can say the order was relayed at for gyeongjuseong

but his majesty wont let this go

he came with a few soldiers because there is a truce

you'll regret it if you miss this chance

take decisive action

if his majesty punishes me with poison i will gladly drink a hundred bowls

so will i

fine

let's capture ukita hideie

you dont know where the crown prince is?

no i dont see the fourth state councilor either

did they sense something?

be careful we'll both be dead if we're found

yes

wangseongtan daedonggang

are you sure they're coming this way?

of course they dont have boats

they entered pyeongyangseong this way too

can you do a good job this time?

hey my life depends on this

if i flee you can kill me

they showed up

archers get ready

now

shoot the machine arrow

yes sir

shoot

matchlock unit forward

attack

why isnt there any word?

crown prince

general lee ll is returning with the heads of the enemies
