The Jingbirok a memoir of imjin war

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!

send an envoy to appoint you as the crown prince?

what's the use of being a crown prince only in appearance?

is this your idea?

i'm only trying to solve this problem

you've grown a lot

councilor what do you think?

if we werent at war,an envoy should have already been sent

fine i will do that

thank you your majesty

then i will go

hon

do you think i hate you?

you are gongbin's son i lover her

dont misunderstand

his majesty really approved?

yes

i'm surprised

i thought it would take some time

do you think he has other intentions?

it didnt seem so

he seemed sorry

what? is this true?

i must have misunderstood him a lot

i dont know what you heard,but you cant relax

nobody can tell what his majesty is thinking

anyway he is sending an envoy

that is good

with ming's appointment,you will be the ruler of tomorrow

tell me what you want

first restore the statues of the northerners who were sacrificed during the prison incident

restore their statuses?

you could ask ryu seongryong

southerners and northerners share the same roots

we shared the same roots

but ryu seongryong and the southerners are opperssing us we cant stand them

they turned their backs on lee sanhae and were mean to northerners when making promotions

look around

there arent many northerners in high positions

we dont like their attitude regarding the war against wae

do they want to fight or not? we cant tell

with this being the situation how can northerners and southerners share the same roots?

ryu seongryong is our enemy

understood when i'm installed by ming i will deal with that matter first

thank you crown prince

his majesty wouldnt approve of an envoy

he really has no ill feelings toward the crown prince?

it seems like he never had any ill feelings toward the crown prince

he only put up his gaurd against the public sentiments that were inclining to the crown prince

all the more reason he wouldnt send an envoy

the people will welcome it even more

would his majesty send an envoy knowing that?

what? is this true?

he probably agreed since ming wont appoint him as the crown prince

the emperor is delaying the installment of a crown prince because he wants

lady zheng's son zhu changxun to become the crown prince instead of the eldest zhu changluo

he wont install the crown prince of joseon first?

ming also gives first priority to the eldest son

it wont be easy to receive approval

i feel sorry for the crown prince

he must have high expectations

shouldnt we tell him?

we cant do that

yu join's faction might plot something

just let it be

you know the court cant be divided over this

if the crown prince doesnt take responsibility the second state councilor will have to

that cant be helped either

it wont be bad to step down for a while in this situation

sir...

i was going to hold the crown prince responsible and keep you by my side

i dont know what to say

oh no

you cant compare him to me

it doesnt matter what happens to me,but the crown prince has to remain in his place

no matter what anyone says,you are a truly loyal servant

if yi sunsin fought properly,i would be rewarding you

what happened?

it's all because i'm lacking

your majesty watch yi sunsin carefully

what do you mean?

he is a great general

but he seems to be overconfident

understood

it isnt completely the second state councilor's fault

if gwon yul and yi sunsin carried out the order it could have been a huge victory

your majesty kim deokryeong was able to land because yi sunsin sunk two japanese vessels

how can you say he had no intention of fighting?

are you saying i'm making things up?

the vessels he sunk were empty

this is a report from won gyun

he saw and heard everything because he attacked from the side

councilor am i wrong?

won gyun did fight in battle

that report cant be totally wrong

if they went closer to land and shot cannons the righteous troops could have defeated

the wae soldiers with more ease

the wae army has cannons they seized from the ming army and our army

if they went close to land,our naval forces would have been annihilated

some damage has to be accepted when making an attack

why do you embrace yi sunsin so much?

your majesty

never mind i'm going to let it go since i didnt give the order this time but i wont let it go if it happens again

i know what your intentions were

but since the ministers appealed

you will have to take responsibility and step down for a while

since the crown prince has been cleared i could die now without any regrets

you can go now

yun dusu took responsibility for the battle and stepped down as the second state councilor

the jangmunpo battle was one that caused suspicion against yi sunsin

seonjo sent an envoy to ming to have the crown prince installed

but as he expected it was delayed since the installation of the crown prince in ming

was more of an urgent problem

you dont have to comfort me

i heard you knew this would be the result

if you gave me a hint,i wouldnt have had futile expectations

i'm upset

if i told you then would you have gone to convince the ministers to return?

i only wanted to prevent division of the court

i told you before

no matter what anyone says,you will be the next ruler of this country

you cant divide the court by associating with narrow-minded people who only care for

their own personal benefits

is everyone who feels sorry for me narrow-minded

and everyone who works for his majesty wise men?

why are you saying that?

you can go

hansando naval headquarters of three provinces

as the naval commander of the three provinces you didnt show any intention of defeating

the enemy i'm very disappointed with that

if you continue to act like that how will our enemies be defeated?

dont lose your anger against wae

sharpen your sword and prepare

this is all because of won gyun's report

how can he do this to you?

you cant let him do this

he is dividing the naval forces

you should call him and reprimand him

forget it leave me

no

if you let this go it will become an obstacle in carrying out future strategies

we have to join all our forces

if we have internal problems like this how can we guarantee that our ocean be protected in the future?

that's right

you cant let this go

it isnt a matter that only concerns you

Did you want to see me? Won Gyun(commander of right gyeongsang)

hello

why are you drinking by yourself?

i should have brought a gisaeng

have a drink

are you upset about something?

i received a letter from his majesty

you did? regarding what?

he reprimanded me saying i had no intention of fighting against the wae army

is that so?

his majesty doesnt seem to know the situation here

dont stack it up inside

he knew the situation here too well

in a distorted manner

you should stop now

what? is this true? you can take all the heads of the enemies

you can make reports exaggerating your merits too

but dont do anything to divide the naval forces

what are you...

commander

we fought in battle all our lives

as long as the wae army is building fortresses and staying here in joseo

even a low-ranking official would know the naval forces alone cant attack them

sending a report that our camp showed no intention of fighting is

an act of humiliating the naval forces and diving them

i know you have ill feelings against me but you cant do this when

the wae army is right in front of us

llisten it's true that you didnt fight aggressively at jangmunpo

a general who receives an order should follow it even if it will lead to a wrong result

you didnt show any intention of fighting because you thought the order was wrong

the general on site knows the situation best

would you let your followers all die knowing the enemy set a trap?

how can you know if we will die or if the enemy will die?

only heaven knows the answer to that

dont use sophistry to me

if only heaven knows,why should generals study military strategy

and why should soldiers be trained?

i'm going to let it go this time

but if you ever do something like this again

i will consider you to be an enemy like the wae soldiers

are you threatening me?

i'm sure you're not afraid of anything since ryu seongryong is controlling the court

just to listen you.leave

it's serious

everyone knows yi sunsin and won gyun dont get along

if he is saying that its a really serious problem

we should all join forces

we cant have internal disputes

this is a tough problem

yes it is

i'd like to spilt them up

yi sunsin is the naval commander of the three provinces

he cant be removed

if we assign won gyun to another post the councilor will be criticized for favoring yi sunsin

that's true

i should ask his majesty to appoint

won gyun as the chungcheong military commander

that's a good idea

there wont be a misunderstanding then

thank you even if his majesty doesnt

the second minister-without-portfolio wont be happy with that

i followed my convictions when i abided by

his wishes last time i'm only doing the same now

i should go

this is why i like my son-in-law!

please appoint won gyun as the chungcheong military commander

the tables were turned because of yi sunsin's merits

there cant be trouble in the command structure for the sake of our army's morale

you should reassign won gyun

understood

won gyun had conflicts with yi sunsin

he was appointed as the chungcheong military commander

yun dusu was removed from office and easterners centering around ryu seongryong had control of the court

that probably influenced this decision

still even if seonjo had doubts about yi sunsin's will to fight

he believed in his skils and trusted them

busanpo japanese army camp

how long do we have to sit here?

the joseon army keeps attacking

we cant fight because of the truce

this is absurd

kato isnt wrong

i'm being patient since i said i'd wait

but if the truce isnt achieved and the ming army attacks

we'll end up being fools

ukita just wait a little while longer

there will be a good result

a good result?

what do you think a good result is?

never mind about receiving land to rule

you just want to get home safely

maybe you didnt request land

did you just sent envoys to surrender?

what are you talking about?

ming is putting us down too much and stalling too long with the talks

it would be better to make a deal with joseon

fool

dont you know joseon has no power?

you're overstimating ming

the people who live on the land are the owners

your head isnt just for waring a helmet

think a bit with it

if ming thought joseon was their land,shen weijing wouldnt have accepted our offer

he accepted it because they thought it was someone else's land

dont just eat with your head

study a bit

joseon was ruled by yuan and ming since the goryeo period

they recognize that

that's why even the king has to get approval from the ming emperor!

stop it

i'm tired of your fighting

kato if you dont have a better idea,just be quiet and wait

why do you always side with konishi?

leave

konishi dares to lecture me just because he studied a bit?

koichi

yes

this wont do i should show the retired regent and ukita that i can do this

hm...do what?

peace talks

kato kiyomasa really sent this letter?

yes

he wants to hold peace talks

he must think shen weijing and konishi yukinaga are stalling too much

what do you think?

achieve a truce with wae?

it makes me mad that shen weijing wants to achieve a truce there's no way

just ignore him

i should meet him

you want to achieve a truce?

i'm not saying we should seek a truce

i'm saying we should break the truce negotiation

break the truce?

yes he wanted to meet us in secret

that's going behind konishi yukinaga's back

he doesnt want him to achieve merits

pretend to hold peace talks and distance kato kiyomasa and konishi yukinaga?

that's right

we can also find out the conditions of the truce they are trying to achieve

fine

who should we send from our court?

buddhist priest samyeong met him in hamgyeong-do

how about sending him?

that's a good idea do that

ulsanseong

hello

it's been a while

i didnt think joseon would agree so easily

i'm surprised

the court wasnt happy that talks were being held without the owner of the land

they accepte your proposal and sent me here

is that so?

konishi is so wishy-washy

i cant trust him

joseon should talk with me from now on

i'm a general who represents japan

understood

konishi is the one who provoked

our retired regent and caused this invasion

i'm not like him

i dont like war

you know that since we had talks in hamgyeong-do right?

sure go ahead and tell me your conditions

these are the conditions our retired regent

demanded to konishi and shen weijing

send a prince to our main land and allot a fourth of the land south of hangang

for us to rule

listen that's absurd

how its absurd?

we withdrew from hanyang and returned the land north of hangang

we shed much blood in joseon

shouldnt something come out of that?

fine i will relay this to the court

thank you

if the truce is achieved,i will give much silver as an offering

if you just leave i will pray for your next life

what?

kato!

did you drink in the middle of the day?

are you crazy?

what?

i'm holding peace talks with ming

how can you talk with joseon?

oh that? you werent showing any progress

that's why i took action

does it matter who achieves the truce?

do you think i dont know what your intentions are?

you're interfering with my work and trying to steal my merits

dont misunderstand

i only wanted to help you get back home

if my talks succeed before yours,you'll have to thank me

right koichi?

let's settle this today

we cant fight together

my sentiments exactly

come on!

stop it right now!

lower your swords

if you dont

i will kill you both

what? allot land to rule?

that is the condition that shen weijing and konishi yukinaga demanded?

yes

it's not even worth a discussion

it's a good thing that konishi yukinaga and kato kiyomasa became hostile

good job

i cant believe land was the condition for the truce with ming

dont worry too much

we know their secret agreement now

we can take preventive measures

the ming court wont be able to accept this

no no they want us to divide the country and have separate rules

we dont know how will they answer

what will we do?

how about ordering yi sunsin to attack again?

you already expreienced the result

if the ming armty doesnt attack on land the naval forces cant defeat the enemy

yi sunsin is a great general

tell him to use cannons or land

just tell him to fight

please calm down

if we do that the ming army will pressure our court again

the emperor wont allow allotment of our land

buddha will look over us

dont worry too much

your majesty shen weijing arrived in the capital

shen weijing?

wasnt he sent to prison?

he was released he's here as an envoy

then the emperor approved?

did you say the emperor accepted the surrender?

that's rights

he accepted the surrender and decided to end the war with japan

you mean he approved of giving away our land?

what are you talking about?

give away what land?

Look here! do you think we dont know that you sought a truce with

our land as a condition?

you are truly wicked

you said they were envoys who were going to surrender

but they went offering land

How did you...

you're going to enter the enemy camp with that proposal?

if you do you will die the moment you leave this place

no traces of you will be found

what on earth are you talking about?

i dont know how you found out about that

it's true that we discussed it

but it was only to deceive toyotomi hideyoshi

the japanese envoys only surrendered

can you swear on your life?

i will swear on the emperor's order

then why would the emperor and the ming court accept surrender?

toyotomi hideyoshi is going to be appointed as the king of japan

the emperor is going to accept wae as a feudal nation?

that's right but for the sake of joseon he wont accept tributary offerings

what are you talking about?

appointing toyotomi hideyoshi as a king means he will treat wae equal to joseon

that's absurd!

are you criticizing the emperor?

that's not what i'm saying

we're fighting wae in place of ming

i cant believe he would appoint the head of our enemy as a king

you wont recognize the truce?

let me give you some advice for the sake of joseon

due to war and famine the people of joseon have nothing to eat

they'll have to eat human flesh

is it right to continue a war in a situation like this?

i can understand you want enemy

but if you are a ruler who cares for his people you should take care of the people first

and seek revenge later

one more thing

ming is in no situation to provide more soldiers and military rations

joseon has no power

but expects the ming army to continue fighting

it's so pathetic

if you're blinded by revenge and dont make plans to enhance your power

the country will fall

look here!

are you showing contempt to his majesty?

i told you it's advice

the emperor made his decision

you should send an envoy to thank him

for ending the war

i will head to the south coast to have the rest of the wae army withdraw

how did it go?

what shen weijing said was true

lee jongseong and yang banghyeong already left beijing

we have to let the wae army leave without getting revenge?

the truce might not be achieved

what do you mean?

shen weijing said the land deal was only to deceive toyotomi hideyoshi

toyotomi hideyoshi told his army to go south because of that deal

shen weijing probably had them just surrender knowing the emperor

wouldnt accept the land deal

the emperor is going to appoint him as king without knowing about the land deal?

it was just a means to end the war?

that's the only way i see it

that makes sense

if toyotomi hideyoshi rejects the envoys who dont bring back a land deal

he could start another war?

it will be one of two things

the wae army's situation isnt good so he could just accept being king

or he could make another invasion

1595 nagoya

mitsuki

yes your majesty

why did i say i liked flowers more than people?

because flowers know when they look bad and wither on their own

that's right

mitsuki is better than all of you

your majesty it's not fair

Dont doubt my loyalty Toyotomi Hidetsugu

i want to trust you i did trust you

that's why i left all the decisions to you

i was going to have hiroimaru marry your daughter

but the situation tells everything

you plotted a rebellion

your majesty it's a conspiracy

a conspiracy?

ishida he's saying it's a conspiracy

what do you think?

this is a letter hidetsugu sent to those landowners

it's full of complaints about this war and about you

it's not true i didnt write this

you didnt write it?

can you swear?

i swear!

then it's really a conspiracy

maeda who is conspiring against him?

you know dont you?

if there is anyone who would conspire against him there is only one person

who is it?

it would be you!

me?

right you're so smart

who else would dare to conspire against him?

hidetsugu it was me

i conspired against you

your majesty...

what will i do?

am i to die for conspiring against you?

should i take my life?

no

you wouldnt conspire against me

i was wrong

hidetsugu you did everything you should,return to mt.koya

reflect on your sins and take your life

are you going to kill my entire family?

i have no choice

i have one last request

please spare my daughter

you loved her a lot

okay

flowers,people...everything is in vain

goodbye hidetsugu

are you saying there could be another war if toyotomi hideyoshi rejects the envoys?

there is a possibility

wouldnt it be better that he's appointed as king?

there cant be another war

we can go through that again

it would be better to achieve a truce

a truce? what are you talking about?

they dug up the graves of our former kings and slaughtered our people

there will never be a truce

your majesty most of the ming army returned to yodong

we cant defeat the enemy on our own

i'm going to get revenge

i will get revenge no matter what

i'm glad you came

did you discuss any means?s

yes we discussed it with the chief state councilor

we found 2 ways

one way to save the starving people is to nurturea powerful army

so we should produce salt and rice in mass

that's a matter of course

but how are we to do that on land that became barren due to war?

this is the solution to that

understood what is the other way?

it's a practical way to supplement the army

the central army is nurturing talented soldiers through the military training command

but the regional areas have armies consisting of weak and poor common people

to have a truly powerful army,we will have to establish sogogun

for anyone with potential to become a soldier regardless of their social statues

Sogogun:Mixed army of high and low class people

all grown men must be allowed to serve regardless of their social statues
