The Jingbirok a memoir of imjin war

sir

i was headed to pyeongyang with 50 elite soldiers

thank you

the vice commander of yodong zu chengxun will arrive with soldiers soon

thank you very much

we can defend pyeongyangseong now

let's go

where are you coming from?

i'm from pyeongyangseong

i'm headed to his majesty

what's going on?

pyeongyangseong has been taken

pyeongyangseong was taken?

how did the wae army cross daedonggang?

we crossed the wangseongtan rapids for a raid and received a counterattack

the enemy crossed it

wangseongtan rapids are a stream below neungnado of daedonggang

the depth is low so it can be crossed on foot

the wae army didnt know this but found out about it when pursuing the joseon army after a raid

a large army crossed daedonggang through wangseongtan that evening

government building in pyeongan-do

i knew it what was i to expect?

your majesty please be strong

be strong be strong be strong

how am i supposed to be strong?

could you be strong?

defend the fortress

gather public sentiments

dont leave home

you tied me down all the time

what did you show me?

hanyang gaeseong pyeongyang

if i listened to you and stayed

i wouldnt be breathing right now

your majesty her highness was on the way to hamheung but she turned back

there are wae soldiers near hamgyeong-do

what?hamgyeong-do too?

where are we to go now?

pyeongyangseong june 16 1592

60 days after war broke out pyeongyangseong was taken

konishi yukinaga entered hanyang and pyeongyangseong without bloodshed

he even took possession of the 100000 sacks of military rations at pyeongyangseong

seonjo left pyeongyang and continued to move toward uiju pyeongan-do

konishi yukinaga's first division stayed in pyeongyang

kato kiyomasa's second division headed to hamgyeong-do

the third division headed to hwanghae-do and the fourth divison to gangwon-do

the rear units in gyeongsang-do faced difficulties heading to chungheong-do and

jeolla-do because of the righteous troops led by gwak jaeu and others in each region

in the south coast the naval forces led by yi sunsin continued to achieve victories

your majesty kill us for not being able to defend pyeongyangseong

it isnt that you couldnt defend it

heaven is abandoning me heaven

your majesty why are you saying that?

we are sinners

please kill us

please kill us

did you want to see me?

could this be how xiang yu felt? (Warlord of qin who took his life after being defeated by liu bang of han)

(Warlord of qin who took his life after being defeated by liu bang of han)

the wae army took possession of pyeongyang and hamyeong-do

they will chase me as if i am prey

will i have to jump in the river like xiang yu did?

why are you being so weak?

the ming soldiers stationed in yodong are coming soon

we will turn the tables

when will they come and how many?

i dont know if i'll be safe until then

you must endure no matter what

you have to overcome this

you are the life of this country and its people

sure if i didnt think so i would have already jumped in the river

i know my body isnt just mine

that's why i endured despite al this humiliation and

i have to continue to endure

that's right your majesty

i thought about it

what if i stay in yodong until the tables turn?

your majesty

the wae army wouldnt cross the border and go to yodong since there are ming soldiers there

when the tables turn with ming's help i can return and fight

you are the new minister of war and the others trust you a lot

i would like you to settle this problem

i'm asking you

i will do that your majesty

i made an important decision today

if i was a general i'd like to go to battle with a sword and die in battle

but as the father of this country and its people i cant be reckless with my body

i will move the royal carriage to yodong until the war army retreats

your majesty did you say yodong?

you cant do that

i can die at the hands of the emperor but not at the hands of the wae army

please understand

your majesty you cant do that

reinforcements are coming from yodong

we cant go under yodong

please reconsider

he's not saying he will go under yodong

we will try to stop the enemy at uiju but if the situation is bad depite that

going to yodong and waiting for a better chance wouldnt be a bad idea

that's right when annamguk fell the king of annamguk entered china (Today's Vietnam)

china sent soldiers to annamguk and saved the country

the king of annamguk was able to return

your majesty the moment you take even one step out of this country

it will no longer be joseon

lord

you left the capital gaeseong and pyeong yang and took royal refuge here

because you thought you were the father of this country and

our country would fall if you were captured by the wae army

if you leave whose country will it be and what country's citizens will the people be?

annamguk was an example of a very fortunate case

there are hundreds and thousands of cases where a country couldnt be restored after the king left

that's right your majesty

if the wae army and ming army fight on this land without an owner

it will be like a territorial fight between animals

they will destroy our mountains and rivers and trample over everything

there cant be reinforcements for a country without a king

and how can we be sure that they will return the country to us?

we might be facing difficulties

but jeolla-do and chungheong-do are alright and much of gyeongsang-do is alright

since the enemy is headed north

gangwon-do and hamgyeong-do didnt suffer much yet either

what are you going to do about all the people?

please reconsider

yi sunsin is ruling the ocean

the enemy fill face difficulties soon because of military rations

if you do under yodong now our soldiers who were fighting well will lose hope

besides we dont know if ming will even allow it

if the people hear about this everyone might leave this country

it's not a matter for us to discuss further

please reconsider

please reconsider please reconsider

where am i to go?

the wae army is everywhere

dont just oppose me

give me an alternative

you tied me down all the time

what did you get right?

did you defend the capital?

did you defend gaeseong?

did you defend pyeongyang?

all of this is your fault

dont you know i'm trying to stay safe and endure suffering to get revenge?

that i'm trying to raise power for an attack?

i will go

tell lee deokhyeong my intentions and have him get approval from the ming court

your majesty i'm sorry but i cant follow that order

just kill me

i said go

your majesty

why are you acting like a lowly man?

who are you going to leave this country and its people?

how can you act like a lowly man?

what did you just say?

did you call me a lowly man?

jasang

yes

are you in your right mind?

the ministers should stop the royal carriage from moving

how could you agree to going under yodong?

are you the same person i knew?

i'm very disappointed

i'm sorry i wasnt thinking

i just thought if we gave everything we have at uiju and it still wasnt good enough

stop it

i thought your mind was taken by wae

wake up

he called me a lowly man

do i have to live with such humiliation?

i was in rage when i heard that

how can a servant sau such a thing?

if there were ordinary times his arms and legs should be cut off

tell him

your majesty the crown prince is here

i dont want to see him leave

your majesty i will leave since i heard your voice

i am prepared to give my body to overcome this crisis

please be strong

come in

royal refuge is tough

how are you doing?

i'm alright

you didnt show it but i know that you are exhausted

you are the crown prince of this country

you must overcome this crisis

i dont know what to say

if there is anything i can do for you just give the order

i will give everything i have even if its kill me

thank you

there is a task i thought of

i'm not sure if you can do a good job

i decided

since you are so opposed to the royal carriage going to yodong

i will temporarily pass the throne to the crown prince and go to yodong

what are you talking about?

you are in fine health

you cant pass on the throne

you cant do that

listen

i'm not completely passing on the throne

the court will be divided in two

while i am in yodong the court led by the crown prince will remain in joseon

then you couldnt say the royal family and court of this country disappeared

your majesty the court has never been divided in two

that's why i said it's temporary

the royal carriage will seek safety in yodong and the crown prince will remain here

we will have both justification and practical benefits

when this crisis is overcome i will return and make the court one again

even if its temporary you cant divide the royal family and court in two

there cant be two kings and two courts

that's just absurd

he is right

if the court is divided in two whose orders are the ministers and officials of the eight provinces to follow?

it will only result in confusion

you saw how tragic the result can be from the generals at imjingang

i wont give any orders while i'm in yodong

the crown prince will take care of all the national affairs

this is a last resort for this country so abide by my wishes

must you divide the court and cause confusion just to preserve your body?

did you say it's to preserve my body?

then let's do this i'll send the crown prince to yodong and i'll fight the wae army

are you satisfied now?

crown prince prepare to go to yodong

your majesty how can you say that?

i will stay i will stay and fight

the ministers will listen

there is only one father but there are several children

even if i die fighting another son can become the king

so its no problem

but if anything happens to our only father who could replace him?

please accept his intentions to overcome this crisis and make future plans

you cant do that

during king chungseon's reign yuan appointed king chungseon's nephew

wang go as the king of shenyang

there were many complications regarding the status of the king of goryeo

what happened when goryeo fell cant happen to joseon now

a father and child are one

how can you divide one body into two?

please reconsider

did you say a father and child are one?

i'm glad you said that

consider me and the crown prince as one and see him as you see me

i dont want to hear more about the matter of dividing the court

your majesty

the court was divided in two

the king's court was called daejo and the crown prince's court was called bunjo

feeling threatened by the japanese army seonjo divided the court in two

he had the crown prince gwanghae serve the ancestral tables and rule the country

depsite opposition from the servants seonjo had an intention of seeking asylum

sir

the court has been divided

the country has been divided in two

the king divided the country and its people to preserve his life

there is no such country there is no such king like him

sir

i will not go

even if i'm killed by the wae army i will die on this land

go

go to yodong and ask them to accept his majesty

it's his wish let him go

we should have our bones buried here

sir

keep this when the herbs dry and fall off your foot apply it

thank you

we're not climbing arirang pass

you're suffering so much

come back if you're in pain

okay

be careful

why is he sitting in a daze like that?

sir

this is a letter from the commander of the left jeolla naval district

did something happen?

what more could happen?

ma'am

the shoulder that was grazed by a bullet really hurts a lot

please take a look

i'm sorry i never dealt with a bullet wound

what?

i'll take a look

never mind

forget it let me see

it's healed

you said it hurt

lord of pungwon

did you hear of our victory at okpo happo and jeokjinpo?

the enemy wont be able to cross the ocean with ease anymore

we will cut off all the distribution routes of wae's military rations

the fate of joseon lies in your hands

if i can defend the ocean with my life the wae army here wont be able to

communicate with the main land to ask for support

they will fall on their own

no matter what difficulty you face please dont lose courage or hope until then

thank you thank you

i promise you i wont fall here

how could those children know the king?

even if the king isnt here someone has to protect those children

how can this be?

if his majesty goes to yodong i'm going to go to the enemy camp

at pyeongyangseong and die

how can you say that?

the matter has been decided

we have to help the crown prince and overcome this national crisis

this is better

we should let him go

did you forget?

we asked that the current crown prince be installed and his majesty was in rage

why did we ask him to do that?

it was because we couldnt achieve our cause with his majesty

minister

you know that too

he is the crown prince we wanted

the fact that his majesty is going to yodong and leaving the court to the crown prince

means he is practically passing on the throne

he said he would unite the court when this crisis was overcome

do you think it will be easy to regain power that was divided?

a king who fled beyond the border and a king who remained and fought

who would the ministers and people follow?

did you want to see us?

i know how you must feel

i also felt that way when his majesty first told me

as a son shouldnt i give everything i have to save my father who is in difficulty?

i'm lacking but because our country and father is in difficulty

i had to take on a difficult task?

please help me

i can die without any regret if this crisis can be overcome

crown prince i'm in great pain

but since you are so loyal and filial as servants we have to follow

i will give everything i have for you

please be prudent and careful

yes the crisis will be overcome

after that the country has to be revived

your responsibility shouldnt stop at just overcoming this crisis

dont forget that you have to reestablish this country too

i dont expect to take on that responsibility

i hope that will be up to his majesty

crown prince

your majesty withdraw the order to dispatch an army to joseon

an army of 5000 led by zu chengxun will cross amnokgang soon

what are you talking about?

let that army go but a larger army cantbe dispatched

did you forget wae asked joseon to open up a path to attack ming?

after joseon is ming

they will attack us

if they occupy joseon they can cross the ocean straight to shandong

they could pass through yodong and attack from the north too

we have to stop wae before they step foot on our land

okay

stop it

you should have come to me after you discussed it among yourselves

what are you doing?

i'm sorry your majesty

minister you seem to be afraid of wae

ming is a powerful nation

do you think a tiny island nation could conquer us?

of course not

but the problem is serious if wae occpies joseon

the coastal area suffered because of wae pirates

if wae gains possession of joseon's maritime rights it will obviously have a negative effect on our commerce

please send a large army and eliminate any possibility of that

fighting in joseon instead of fighting on our land is the way to minimize damage to our land and property

we can also save military costs

besides you shouldnt break the trust between us and joseon

joseon is the closest with us among all the feudal nations

well joseon was pretty good to us

fine tell li rusong to go to joseon as soon as he suppresses the insurrection

thank you your majesty

pyeongyangseong konishi yukinaga's camp

why arent you attacking?

we had more casulaties than expected on the way here

we need time to reorganize

the king of joseon is right in front of us

we should attack with speed

when attacking the enemy the leader should be captured first

everything will be over if the king of joseon is captured

you're wrong

that's what we think

i thought everything would be over if the king of joseon was caught

i rushed here from busan in two months

but the king of joseon abandoned hanyang

he is continuning to flee

that's why we should go after him quickly

i'm saying the war could just end

what are you talking about?

because of the thought of capturing the king we didnt occupy jeolla-do chungcheong-do

and other areas outside of our advance route

because yi sunsin cut off our supply route we sent the unit of eki to secure rations

from the grain belt of jeolla but they were annihilated by righteous troops

that were led by gwak jaeu someone we never heard of

it's all because we focused on advancing and neglected the rear

if we continue at this rate our rear will be cut off and we will be isolated

we have to reorganize at this time

it will all be over if we just capture the king of joseon quickly

if you continue to postpone an attack i will have to report to his majesty

what?are you saying it's alright for my soldiers to be isolated and die?

you dont know what's going on

you just relay his majesty's orders

bring ishida

if he says we should attack too then i will

what?

dodo was defeated too?

joseon was afraid of our naval forces and talked about abolishing their naval forces

please calm down

you said shin rip and lee ll were the only generals who could fight

the others were just a bunch of misfits

that's right

where did yi sunsin suddenly appear from?

he wanst in any of the scout reports

he was a low-ranking official last year

he suddenly received a huge promotion

a huge peomotion?

if dodo was defeated he must have skills

who wil i send to eliminate yi sunsin?

many able naval officers like wakizaka and fought with the army because

they didnt have much to do on the sea

you should send them south

right i have wakizaka

maeda order the naval forces that joined the army to return

send more of the vessels on standby at tsushima and destroy the naval forces of joseon

tell them to send me yi sunsin's head

yes your majesty

yi sunsin who is he

yeosu left jeolla naval headquarters

do we have to continue fighting with won gyun the naval commader of right gyeongsang?

this is too much

we helped them survive

since the battle at okpo he is cutting off the heads of the wae soldiers that we killed

he only brings three ships

he is taking all the heads

people will think that he achieved all the merit

last time he took a ship that we captured

two of our soldiers were injured because of arrows shot from won gyun's ship

he is blinded by merit he is harming his own side

even lee eokgi is frowning over that

admiral exclude won gyun from the alied fleet

you should do that

i know how you feel

but we didnt fight to achieve merit

if we can annihilate the wae army it doesnt matter who takes the heads

admiral

i know the commander of right gyeongsang is being excessive

i will tell him to refrain

dont discuss this matter further

admiral we're ready for the funeral

i'm sorry i'm so sorry

i couldnt send you back home but i will defend our ocean so your children can grow up in

a country without wae soldiers

i promise to see you again when such a fine day comes

goodbye my proud soldiers

crown prince take the ancestral tables

yes your majesty

send someone to bring the queen

yes your majesty

the lord of pungwon will go to jeongju and prepare military rations for

the reinforcements coming from ming

prepare well

yes your majesty

the other ministers will have to split up

tell me your opinoins

i will go with the crown prince

the crown prince is taking over national affairs i also will follow him

understood

i will serve the crown prince

i also will fight against wae with the crown prince

i will fight against wae too

i agree with them

what is wrong with you?

the royal carriage hasnt left yet

how can you call yourselves servants if you refuse to serve him?

you should... No no

a king who leaves the country to survive is no king

fine stay with the crown prince

your majesty i will serve you

i dont need you stay with the crown prince

your majesty is will serve you

i said i dont need you

your majesty

i like to move light

everyone will escort the royal carriage until uiju

decide who is come with me after that

lord hurry to jeongju

crown prince you have a truly heavy burden

this place is the royal family and court

please be strong

i have a heavy burden but your burden will be heavier since you have to find rations in this situation

the fate of this country depends on you

please solve the problem

if there isnt enough food i'll cut off my flesh so dont worry

lord

jeongju pyeongan-do

this place hasnt suffered damage

why arent there any people here?

really

we should go to the government building

catch him catch him

catch him catch him

catch him

hey what are you doing?

ryu seongryong arrives in jeogju and runs into refugees
