i also heard about your reputation

it's nice to have you here

seon geoi also received an order

rice cakes made with the first harvest of barley

i wanted you to be the first to eat it

we rowed diligently to get here i'm glad we're not too late

i cant eat the first harvest

you should eat it

oh no

we are very grateful to you

here take it

sir...

it's alright eat it

is it good?

i'm full too

thank you i'll eat it with the soldiers when i get back

go back and feed the children

sir...

thank you thank you very much

busanpo japanese army camp

why do the joseon soldiers keep attacking?

konishi is this the result we waited for?

ukita if this is how it was going to be why did we retreat from hanyang?

konishi what's going on?

they're attacking from land and sea

they're doing this because they're against a truce

it must be the joseon soldiers!

of course it is!

it's not the japanese soldiers

something is definitely wrong

ming is talking about a truce,but the joseon army keeps attacking

ming could bring a huge army and attack us all at once

the ming army already withdrew

they got you in pyeongyang

do you still trust them?

ukita ming could betray us

we said we would wait until our envoys returned so let's wait

just defend against the enemy

konishi stop the ones coming from goseong

kato stop yi sunsin

what?

are you afraid?

i'm not afraid

wait and see how i defend the coast

yi sunsin wont take a step on land

we should have drawn lots

we're ready

koichi listen carefully

yes sir!

we cant fight outside the fortress

what?

is it because of yi sunsin?

no!

we're holding peace talks

there's no need to fight outside

dont you get it?

understood

1594 jangmunpo geojedo

i only see two japanese vessels

i'm sure they saw us

i dont think they're coming out to sea

what should we do?

if they dont come we should attack them

the righteous troops will land

that's what they'll be waiting for

what?

they're at an advantage on land because they have matchlocks

they're waiting for us to land and attack

we'll be at a disadvantage since we'll be attacking a higher position

they wont want to come out,but we cant land and attack either

then what should we do?

we dont have to sacrifice our men

if they dont come out to sea we should return

we cant just return

the second state councilor gave an order to attack the enemy

let us land

i came this far

i have to bring back a few heads

general...

sir!

the joseon soldiers landed

they're headed this way

they fell for your plan

no...yi sunsin really landed?

if yi sunsin is among them and you kill him

you will remain in japanese history forever

is that how it's going to be?

no matter how much they attack,dont make a move until i give the order

yes sir!

prepare arrows!

yes sir!

shoot!

advance advance

shoot!

shoot!

sir!

how did it go?

seon geoi and kim deokryeong were all defeated by the enemy

what?!

what about yi sunsin?

he stayed at sea and burnt up two japanese vessels

he didnt even land because

the enemy didnt come out to sea?

naval forces cant fight on land

they should have gone to the inlet and shot cannons!

yi sunsin had no intention of fighting

i'm sure there was a reason

the wae army was probably set on defending the fortress

they should have been lured out

we really cant defeat them on our own?

the jangmunpo battle in 1594 was one on land and sea

because the japanese army focused on defending the fortress

kim deokryeong and seon geoi lost soldiers and retreated

yi sunsin only sunk two japanese vessels

because of this vague result,the court regretted the independent movement of the joseon army

ryu seongryong's opinion to wait received more weight

i almost got yi sunsin!

if he didnt flee like a coward i would have his head

kato you bluff better than using your sword

what?

yi sunsin didnt even land

what?who says so?

my spies confirmed it

you killed righteous troops

darn!

good job both of you

they saw how well we defend

they wont attack for a while

give the soldiers meat and wine and let them rest

yes sir

oh congratulations kato

for almost killing yi sunsin

the joseon army isnt strong enough yet

it's dangerous to carry out such an attack like the one at jangmunpo

so please be careful of that in the future

what? the second state councilor?

i told him not to take action outside his authority

you really didnt know about this?

what are you talking about?

are you suggesting i gave a secret order?

the second state councilor cant do something like this on his own

look here

i sent him and the minister of war to mugunsa as you wished

would i have done that if i was going to fight the wae army right now?

the ming army wont be happy about this if they find out

it isnt because i fear ming

our soldiers who didnt have to die died

i'm also worried the joseon soldiers will lose morale

you're right

i will abolish mugunsa and hold the crown prince responsible

it was ordered by yun dusu

why are you saying that?

you just said the second state councilor couldnt do something like this on his own

i'm sure the crown prince knew it

you cant abolish mugunsa

you should investigate first and...

what are you doing?

send the order!

yes your majesty

sir...an order was given to abolish mugunsa

what's going on?

his majesty knew everything

what?

he's just pretending not to know

his intention was to abolish mugunsa and hold the crown prince responsible

he wouldnt...

of course he would

he cant abolish mugunsa

why did you do that?

his majesty begged you

i will take full responsibility

you dont know anything about this

do you understand?

how can i say i didnt know anything about this?

i will take full reponsibility

crown prince!

even if the result wasnt good,we dont have to be embarrassed with the attempt

this is for the best

mugunsa will be abolished and...

i want to be deposed as the crown prince

why are you saying that?

pack up and get ready

yoshitoshi no matter what happens,they cant find out about this

whether we return alive or all die here

depends on you now

japan wanted to become the empeor's people by going through joseon

that was the only intention but joseon ignored that

so we had to raise an army and this was the result

we offer this document of surrender

please appoint toyotomi hideyoshi as the king of a feudal nation and allow tributary offerings to be made

japan will return joseon's land and withdraw

wait!

you will return joseon territory?

look at you you're setting conditions when you are surrendering?

you!

are you trying to deceive me with a false surrender?

it's not a false surrender

how can you try to make a deal with me when you are here to surredner?

if you are surrendering,you should withdraw your army first

you will return joseon's land if you are allowed to make tributary offerings?

if i dont allow that

you will go to war again?

of course not

when i think about you attacking my feudal nation

i want to take an army of a milion and attack your main land!

please calm down

they arent trying to make a deal

they wanted to become people of ming

that's why their army made a move

from their position they need your approval to justify withdrawing from joseon

please allow it so the wae army can return to their main land

is that so?

fine i'll accept your surrender

but i wont allow tributary offerings

we blocked the ocean with policies regarding maritime traffic commerce and fishing

but pirates wont stop plundering the coast

it's all because of the wae army

if i allow tributary offerings you will use that as an excuse

to enter the ports and plunder even more!

you dont have to worry about that

if you appoint toyotomi hideyoshi as king he will control the pirates

he couldnt control them before

no! i hate headaches

they're bring a few specialty products and receive a bunch of velvet and silver from us

it's a loss for us forget it

we cant be a feudal nation if we dont make tributary offerings

please approve of tributary offerings

instead i'll appoint toyotomi hideyoshi as king

we cant take care of joseon right now

we cant recruit more soldiers and we dont have enough funds for military expenses

accept the surrender and approve of them making tributary offerings

is that so? joseon will be upset

they will be grateful that their nation didnt fall

if they are upset about a truce they are ingrates

i was against a truce all this time

you have too much affection

only think of ming

then i'll just appoint a king and deny tributary offerings

joseon will be less upset

thank you very much

go and tell toyotomi hideyoshi

wae is now a feudal nation of ming

tell him to withdraw the wae army and get along with joseon understood?

yes your majesty

i will send an envoy to wae soon

before you do that,order shen weijing to have the wae army withdraw from joseon first

shen weijing? didnt i kill him yet?

he's in prison

go ahead then

and stop fighting

fighting isnt good

nagoya

hiroimaru

look at him look at him smile

hiroimaru dont be sick

you cant leave me like tsurumatsu

is that understood?

your majesty...

your majesty he's a newborn baby

dont talk about a dead baby

forget about tsurumatsu now

oh right i'm sorry

i should forget now

you are everything to me now

i'm going to conquer joseon and take you to ming with me

you will follow in my footsteps and establish a great empire

your majesty your successor is hidetsugu

he will be upset if he hears that

watch what you say yodo

hidetsugu isnt like that

if his majesty chooses hiroimaru as his successor he would give everything he has to help

do you think so?

ishida i told you to seek wedlock between hidetsugu's daughter and hiroimaru

how is that coming along?

it's almost done with

if hiroimaru becomes his son-in-law hidetsugu will love him a lot too

right maeda?

right a son-in-law is a son too

what is it?

see for yourself

hidetsugu is planning a rebellion!

the truce hasnt been achieved

the landowners who sent soldiers to joseon are joining forces with hidetsugu

do you think i like stalling like this?

what about the envoys who went to ming?

they just left beijing

why are they so slow?

it will take forever

there isnt clear proof of a rebellion

it could be a conspiracy against hidetsugu

you have to be careful

i can understand hidetsugu

he knows me well

if yodo had a daughter it would be alright

but since she had a son,he knows hiroimaru will be my successor

he's taking action by joining forces with people who are against war

hidetsugu fears you even more

he would never do that

ishida go to kyoto and get me proof that he's planning a rebellion

yes but they must be prepared for that

it wont be easy

make something up if you have to

understood

your majesty do you have to kill him?

he would give up his position if you asked him to

maeda

do you think i want to kill my nephew?

then the landowners?

right hidetsugu doesnt have any power

he doesnt even have the courage

i want to get rid of the landowners who are against war

i didnt possess joseon yet

how can this war end?

i wont forgive anyone who goes against my will!

it was ordered by me

the crown prince didnt know anything

please punish me

i know you are a loyal servant

be honest

did the crown prince really not know?

he didnt...

i knew

crown prince!

i knew it

but didnt you know too?

what? what are you talking about?

are you trying to blame me for this?

crown prince! how can you say that?

his majesty didnt know

your majesty he must have misunderstood

forgive him and kill me

the crown prince is in charge of mugunsa

you are at no fault!

go and wait for my order!

this is a chance you waited for

hold the crown prince responsible and depose him as the crown prince

i'm not sure ming is watching

he went against ming's order not to attack

you have the justification

why do you take all the blame?

i didnt i only stated the facts

he could depose you as the crown prince

let him

crown prince!

i really dont want to be the crown prince

you cant do that

you have to lead the future of joseon

why are you being so weak?

no

tell his majesty to lead joseon today and tomorrow

arent you mad?

you worked hard for this country and its people

you want to give up being the crown prince?

i will if i'm told to

what power do i have?

we will be your power

instead promise one thing

if you take the throne get us revenge for what the southerners and westerners did to us

can you promise that?

oh the large fortress is in danger

you were greedy

right i shouldnt have done that

what should i do?

i want to hold the crown prince responsible

what should i do?

you're a truly scary person

why are you saying that?

you already decided what to do

why are you asking me?

what do you think i will do?

you will depose him

should i do that?

do you hate him that much?

do you like him?

its such a burden that so many people follow the crown prince?

let's just play baduk

you're the one who has to place the stones

the stones only fulfill their roles in the positions you place them

if they protect your fortress,you should be grateful

the glory of a victory doesnt go to the stones

it goes to the person who placed them

the crown prince is just a stone...

that's right

dont focus on one stone

look at the entire board

and dont abandon stones that help you

that makes sense

but that's just baduk

people arent stones

a stone stays in place,but people want to break away

i should save the fortress now

listen!

yes your majesty

bring the seal the crown prince has

your majesty

why are you so surprised?

i'm not going to depose him

i just want his seal

it's your turn

crown prince...

it didnt suit me anyway

crown prince...

you wont give it back will you?

well...let's see

your majesty the ministers are saying they will resign if you depose the crown prince

what?

the crown prince didnt do anything wrong

how is it a sin to embrace yun dusu's faults?

yun dusu gave the order and

gwon yul and yi sunsin recklessly followed it

punish them

dont depose the crown prince

please reconsider

if you depose the crown prince we will all resign and leave this court

please reconsider

please reconsider

didnt they hear it was the crown prince who gave the order?

this is why i hate the crown prince!

your majesty...

go ahead and do what you want

please reconsider

everyone leave

his majesty is very upset

if you keep this up you will be removed from office

did you say he'll remove us from office?

yes

we'll go

give this to his majesty

many of the ministers are officials of the office of special advisers and the office of royal decree

if they leave there wont be anyone to write your orders

even the officials at royal secretariat are joining the ministers

who will relay your orders?

i didnt give a order to depose the crown prince

why are they doing this?!

it's the next step after taking the seal

what else could it mean?

what will you do now?

if the ministers of the censors' office and inspector-general's office dont return

the court will be paralyzed

bring them back

tell them i'll forgive them if they return now

what about the seal?

i'll think about that if they return

we wont return

he said he would reconsider

return to the court first and...

you know his majesty

do you trust him?

we wont return even if he returns the seal to the crown prince

listen the war isnt over yet

you cant divide the court

that's what i want to say

you and his majesty are dividing the court

myeoncheonbeop and jangmibeop

they were all carried out with his majesty's knowledge

what?

leave we wont return to a court that is so rotten

they wont return even if i return the seal?

i think they have another condition

what is it?

i dont know that yet

i ought to...

i will go and see

i will make them return to the court

you?

yes

it seems wisest to have the crown prince comfort them

fine this happened because of you

settle this matter

i will be sure to bring them back

there is one condition

the seal? i will give it back to you

it isnt the seal

then what do you want?

send an envoy to ming and have

the emperor appoint me as the crown prince!
