can the joseon ocean no longer be defended?

hansando naval headquarters of the three provinces

what? 600 vessels?

yes they're newly made vessels

what about out fleet?

we have 200 vessels 10000 sacks of rations and 300 rifles

will we be going to battle?

this is a trap

even if it is,winning or losing is up to heaven

i'm not like yi sunsin

if an order is given i must fight with everything i have even if it's hell

it's too reckless

we might have firepower,but there are 600 enemy vessels!

they'll be prepared for our attack

we wont be able to handle it

yi sunsin nurtured a bunch of cowards

take him out and flog him!

he is in charge of our gunpowder

we'll be in trouble without him

then he should just make gunpowder

what is he doing here?

get him out of here!

yes sir

sir! sir!

sir

sir

is anyone else against going to battle?

fine we'll go to angoplo and gadeodo!

general

they fell for it

won gyun left hansando leading 200 vessels

ukita the joseon naval forces will be annihilated now

heaven is helping us

what happened?

won gyun has defeated

what? he was defeated?

he led 200 vessels to battle but an heungguk died

the gyeongsang commander raided ungcheon and was defeated

won gyun also retreated to hansando

oh...now what?

won gyun was so confident

what? he was defeated and he retreated?

order him to go to battle again right away!

yes your majesty

we didnt reorganize yet

we cant go to battle

what do you think?

why are you silent? talk!

are you saying it's my fault?

let the supreme field commander know

tell him our difficulties

make the trip yourself

be sure to tell them

unless our army or the ming army attacks from land

we cant attack the enemy on our own!

understood

what? he cant go to battle?

he really...

the enemy army is large in size and we suffered a lot of damage

we need time to reorganize

i know that!

but he's making an excuse that he lost because he didnt have support!

he didnt come himself what a coward!

he sent his subordinate to make excuses?

tell him to come here right away!

yes sir

officer song

sir!

sir...

dont bow

sir...

get up

you were defeated?

yes

how many were sacrificed?

about a hundred soldiers died

boseong magistrate An heungguk died

sir...we need you

won gyun doesnt qualify to...

serve him well!

sir

it's not for his sake

it's for our naval forces and this country

you have to support him well for a victory

sir...i'm more disappointed with heaven

than the current commander

i'm really disappointed with his majesty!

a crisis is an opportunity

hang i there

sir...

stop!

you still dont know what you did wrong?

commander it's not that i didnt want to go to battle

we just needed time to reorganize

i know that!

that's not the problem

you're making an excuse that you cant go to battle without an attack on land!

if the court could send a large army,why would they have asked you to stop the enemy at sea?

with our naval forces alone...

it's a royal order

you always said so yourself

you would jump into a fire if an order was given

why are you acting differently?

continue!

what is it?

i wanted to say something

go ahead

you cant have our naval forces attack

the enemy knows we will attack they have many more vessels

if an attack is made first...

stop it its a royal order

after everything you've been through...

you should send a report explaining the situation here and convince the court

we have more firepower than the wae army

only from a long distance

we cant beat them at close distance

just leave

you're a commoner now

if a reckless attack is made our naval forces...

stop it! i was given a royal order too

leave me

everyone knows this isnt the time to go to battle

but if a royal order isnt followed,we'll die anyway

we're going to die either way!

a victory depends on heaven

we'll go to battle!

do you want to die by my sword?

go out and get ready

yes sir

i'll jump into a fire if i have to

wakisaka the joseon naval forces are haeded this way

the size of their fleet?

there are 200 vessels

all the naval forces of jeolla-do and chungcheong-do are coming

won gyun wants revenge

he's just a moth

we'll continue to attack and retreat

we'll exhaust them and make them anxious

let's end them this time

prepare for battle

yes sir!

the chilcheonryang battle took place on july 15 and 16 of 1597

it ended with a tragic defeat for joseon

only 12 vessels under the commander of right gyeongsang were in tact since

they were away from the main fleet

about 200 vessels all sunk

commander of right jeolla le eokgi and chungcheong commander choi ho died

won gyun who retreated to chilcheondo also died

the joseon naval forces were annihilated

some blame won gyun for making a reckless attack but seonjo and the court were

largely at fault for not grasping the situation properly

you wanted to see me?

i hoped you would be wrong

the naval forces led by won gyun were annihilated

lee eokgi choi ho and won gyun

they all died in battle

only bae seolman survived with 12 vessels

annihilated...did you say annihilated?

yes your majesty

your majesty!

is heaven abandoning us?

your majesty its tragic that our naval forces were annihilated

but you cant give up

the wae army will attack jeolla-do soon and head north to hanyang

that's right fortunately the ming army left 3000 soldiers in namwon jeolla-do and

4000 soldiers in chungju chungcheong-do

we have to reassign our soldiers

yes we should

discuss it at the national border council

oh! shouldnt yi sunsin be reinstated to his position?

right councilor? i should do that right?

go ahead and do that

your majesty what's the use of reinstating him to his position?

he doesnt have any vessels to lead

oh right

there arent any ships to defend our ocean!

your majesty!

yang hao who was in pyeongyang just entered the capital

really?

welcome you came a long way

i had a lot things to take care of -Yang Hao(inspector general of ming)

i'm sorry i'm late -Yang Hao(inspector general of ming)

it's alright

the ming soldiers are defending namwon and chungju well

why would i worry?

i heard the joseon naval forces were annihilated

how did that happen?

i dont know what to say

but since you're here we can defeat the wae army without the naval forces

it cant be done on our own

we need full cooperation of the joseon court

of course whatever you need

i'll support you

i'll establish gyeongriamun first (institution where the inspector-general carries out military affairs)

(institution where the inspector-general carries out military affairs)

is there a need?

you can stay at the ming headquarters and discuss matters with the court ministers

are you worried the gyeongriamun might take over your national affairs?

dont worry i have no intention of doing that

nor do i have the power

i just want perfect order of military law through the gyeongriamun

of course do whatever is necessary

consider it an order from me and give him everything he needs

thank you your majesty

i have a question

what is it?

there wont be a truce will there?

did you just say a truce?

of course not

if anyone speaks of a truce,i will cut off his head right away!

really?

i'll bet my family name on that

as long as i'm here a single wae soldier wont leave alive

thank you thank you very much

i'll trust you

what did you think of yang hao?

it didnt seem like he would play us like song yingchang did

he didnt seem to want a truce either

he was so confident

the emperor punished shi xing and song yingchang for attempting a truce

someone like him wouldnt be sent again

is there something else that concerns you?

no he wouldnt play us

but he seems to be taking the wae army too lightly

i'm worried about our naval forces

you!

did you lose your country?

get up right now

sir...

commander

sir!

sir!

is this a dream?

sir...why did you come so late?

our naval forces were annihilated

the naval forces disappeared in the ocean

what are you talking about?

i'm here and you're here

why are you saying the naval forces disappeared?

we can build new vessels

as long as there is one person with a will to fight

our naval forces didnt disappear

everyone get up!

magistrate bae and officer song report the situation of each camp

yes sir!

officer lee and officer choi,report on the guns and gunpowder

yes sir!

except for those who are injured everyone prepare for training!

yes sir

it will take time to build new vessels

what's urgent are the guns and gunpowder

produce them night and day

yes yes sir

i'll make them until i drop!

sir! a liaison officer is here

hello

i have a message from his majesty

since the naval forces are gone he is ordering you to join the army

sir...

your majesty the wae army couldnt advance to honam and chungcheong because the naval forces stopped them

i still have 12 vessels

we can stop the enemy if we fight with everything we have

even if we dont have enough vessels,i'm not dead yet

the wae army cant look down on us

busanpo japanese army camp

good for you wakisaka!

you achieved great merit

oh no

it's because the retired regent gave me his full support

and it would have been easy if konishi didnt eliminate yi sunsin

thank you thank you very much

no no it's because you fought well

congratulations

thank you

let's make a toast to wakisaka for annihilating the joseon naval forces

to the retired regent and wakisaka!

cheers!

kato why do you look so down?

arent you glad we got rid of the joseon naval forces?

i'm happy i'm very happy

how can i not be happy when i was used as bait to annihilate them?

ukita shouldnt you stop celebrating and advance to hanyang?

what's the rush?

we should just enjoy and drink and...

shut that mouth!

the retired regent is waiting

if we party like this just because we annihilated the joseon naval forces

when will we conquer joseon?

right ukita?

kato i like that attitude

fine we'll go to battle right away!

konishi attack jeolla-do!

yes sir

kato attack gyeongsang-do and chungcheong-do

yes sir

everyone make full preparations understood?

yes sir

dont let anyone live!

kill them all!

august 1597

in august 1597 the wae army landed without resistance by the naval forces

they trampled all over jeolla-do gyeongsang-do and chungcheong-do and advanced

during that process,they cut off the noses of people

potters scholars and many other people were taken to japan

namwonseong hwangseoksanseong and jeonjuseong were all taken

i knew it

preparations? what preparations were made?

jeolla-do was defended before

i cant believe it's been taken

this is the result of all the reform and preparation?

the defeat at chilcheonryang had a huge effect

the ming soldiers fled from namwonseong,but our soldiers fought fiercely

despite being weaker in number

we still have the main army led by gwon yul

if we join forces with ming the tables could be turned

please be strong

dont just talk make me feel strong!

the wae army is coming

i'm going to send the queen north

what are you talking about?

the people and soldiers will think you are taking royal refuge again

that's right

you cant confuse them like before

who said anything about royal refuge?

i said i'd send the queen

cant i even do that?

even if that's your intention the people wont understand

please dont do that

fine

go to the gyeongriamun and discuss ways to stop the wae army from heading north

gyeongriamun

what?

yang yuan was the first to flee from namwonseong and chen yuzhong fled from jeonjuseong?

yes,how embarrassing

the joseon generals all fought to the end and died in battle

how pathetic!

they call themselves ming soldiers?

dont blame yourself too much

there are many reasons for a victory or a defeat

hello have a seat

i told them not to retreat

i wont forgive them

chen yuzhong fled without saving namwonseong

i will have his head

your military order is fine

we will defeat the wae army

of course

where should we set the line of defense?

i think jiksan would be good

it has access in every direction

i'm sure the enemy will gather there

if we attack them there we could turn the tables

that's not a bad idea

the enemy is advancing separately

i was worried we would have to scatter our forces too

if we could defeat them all in one place nothing would be better

we will send our main army to jiksan

the main army will consists of 1130 men led by song eonsin

the ming army has 2000 in the cavalry unit and a powerful artillery unit

if you attack the enemy camp with cannons and then attack with the cavalry unit before

they reorganize there's a good chance

what about rations and food for the horses?

we're not lacking at this time

we will have to worry in the future though

if it lasts long,it will be difficult to procure rations

jeolla-do was taken

we wouldnt have had to worry about rations if jeolla-do want taken

you should take responsibility

sir...

hello

it's been a while councilor

agye how have you been? (Lee sanhae's pen name)

with the country in this situation how do you think?

what brings you here?

his majesty was frustrated

he called me

you expected another invasion and made preparations did you really prepare?

the naval forces were annihilated and jeolla-do was taken

the annihilation of the naval forces wasnt the councilor's fault

are you saying it was his majesty's fault?

the head of the court has to take full responsibility for all results!

i had high expectations for you and stayed away

i was upset about everything i heard

you sought reform and caused hostility

people were disappointed that you acted arbitrarily with all matters

i really trusted you but i'm disappointed

i know the nobility and landowners are disappointed with me

i also know it's my fault

even if i step down,i'll have to do so when this war is over

you're being arrogant

do you think you're the only person who can settle this?

minister that's a bit excessive

he is doing his best to stop the wae army

he is? i'm not sure his best efforts will lead to a good result

what will you do if you cant stop the wae army in jiksan?

if the wae army shows up,will you avoid responsibility and stop his majesty from taking royal refuge?

i'll stop them

is that so? okay i'll see

your majesty lee sanhae reporting

welcome

i'm glad you came

i called you because i was nervous just to trust the court ministers

i'm grateful that you think this old man is still useful

no no

support me well with your experience and knowledge

i will do that

what should i do?

i left the war to yang hao

i'm sure he'll take care of it

are you worried about the court after the war is over?

preparations have to be made

someone always has to be held responsible

sure

i will do my best dont worry

agye is back?

yes

there is going to be a huge wave

probably with agye back,the northerners will raise their voices

the wave wasnt created by northerners

what?

it was by his majesty

the person who gave them power is his majesty

he's targeting the chief state councilor and the southerners?

he's a scary man!

he called agye because he's concerned about what will happen after the war

the chief state councilor is going to be in danger

i served his majesty for a long time

but i could never know what he was thinking

there are 200 guns

we have about 3000kg of gunpowder

you made all that is such a short time?

it must be because the commander returned

i told them to get some sleep,but they're hammering away all night

thank you be careful nobody collapses

yes sir

what about the vessels?

we didnt build one yet

it's hard to find wood it will take more time

sir!

the joseon army and ming army annihilated the wae army in jiksan

is this true?

that's really fortunate

if jiksan was taken hanyang wouldnt be safe

they did a great job

but...

heo naeman sent word from busanpo,the wae army is going to land in the west coast

with hundreds of vessels soon

they're going to join their army in jeolla-do and make another attack?

sir they'll be passing our camp

what should we do?

we dont have vessels to fight them

what are you talking about?

we still have 12 vessels
