The Jingbirok a memoir of imjin war

first i'm appointing toyotomi hideyoshi as the king of japan

second i will not accept tributary offerings

third the japanese army in joseon will withdraw from joseon

what? that's it? what about the land allotment?

there is nothing about that

maeda they're playing with me right?

do you think i'm crazy about being a king?

i can be the king without an installation by the emperor of ming

you

do you want another fight?!

konishi what's going on?

you said they promised land for me to rule!

well...that's what i heard

i'm not sure what happened

i stopped the war and waited for long

this is the result?

konishi take your own life!

your majesty this letter has nothing to do with the peace talks i was carrying out

there must have been a misunderstanding by my assistant

who are you trying to blame?

you plotted something with ming because you didnt want to fight

you! i ought to...

your majesty!

please calm down!

let go! let go of me!

please calm down

i'm going to kill them both! let go of me!

your majesty!

you! let go of me!

let go! let go of me

what are you going to do now?

what can i do?

if he tells me to take my life i'll have to

you might have to take that order,but i cant die here

you want to be a coward and live by yourself?

even if you return to ming,all that awaits you is death!

that's my problem

find me a boat

a boat? forget that

i'm under house arrest! how can i find a boat?

oh the joseon escorts who came with me have a boat

you did a good job

i will never forget all the efforts you made to achieve a truce

i hope nothing happens to yous

Ooh! Ooh!

ming didnt show any intention of meeting any conditions that i suggested

this is contempt!

am i supposed to be patient after being humiliated like this?

you shouldnt be patient

it isnt just contempt for you

japan shed a lot of war and used much silver for this war

if it ends without any fruits,the soldiers who return wont have

anything for their families and the landowners wont be rewarded

they wont be happy and it will lead to a rebellion

you have to invade joseon again and take possession

that is the only way to please everyone

probably

there are two problems though

one is military rations

another is yi sunsin who is defending the ocean

without solving these two problems,we will face difficulties again

right we couldnt possess the grain belt jeolla-do and yisunsin was a headache

find a way maeda!

understood

what should i do about konishi?

he knows joseon too well

it would be a waste to just kill him

give him a task

if he cant solve it kill him but if he can solve it give him another chance

a task...you mean eliminate yi sunsin?

yes

do you think konishi could do that?

yi sunsin?

yes

this is the last chance for you and your family to survive

you're not confident of doing that?

no no i will eliminate him

sir!

sir!

what's all the commotion?

it's a report that toyotomi hideyoshi might attack again

its a report by hwang shin who went with shen weijing as an escort

hideyoshi didnt accept the installation

he was in rage and tried to kill us and the ming envoys

he is definitely going to invade us again

we must be prepared

sir...

they're going to attack again?

how can this be?

when are they coming? how large is the army?

shouldnt we ask the ming army to come?

your majesty

i said we couldnt let the wae army just return

but i hoped the war would end

they're going to attack again...

dont be just disappointed

we expected it and made preparations

we wont be helpless like we were duting the last invasion

please be strong

i should be

i wont have to take royal refuge again will i?

your majesty

it's better this way

we can repay them for all the humiliation we suffered

send soldiers to hasamdo

we should take busanpo and make sure that wae soldiers never set foot

on our land again

do you think we dont want revenge?

the wae army will be better prepared too

we have to be cool-headed about this

that's right

if we send the central army and things go wrong

we wont have anyone to guard the capital

i'm just saying we should annihilate the enemy before they land and get into formation

that is the best way

that makes sense

sinking them at sea would be the best way

that's right we have yi sunsin

yi sunsin can stop them at sea

meanwhile the ming army and our soldiers can defend hasamdo

that's right we were invaded by surprise and you had to take royal refuge before

but we have enough military rations to feed our soldiers and the ming army

it's worth a fight!

you're all taking it too easy

what do you mean?

we need to have a will to annihilate them in the beginning

do you think the enmy wont think about our position?

the wae army suffered with two problems

they couldnt possess jeolla-do and yi sunsin defended the ocean well

if i was the head of the enemy's army without solving those two problems

i wouldnt make an invasion

yi sunsin wont be defeated easily,but if they come by land and a large army attacks jeolla-do

it wont be easy to defend against them

we have to harvest all the crops in the fields and defend the fortress with a sit-in

we'll have to do our best to stop the wae army from attacking jeolla-do

but if they do we will have to use that strategy

sit its won gyun

come in

you came a long way

i heard wae could attack again

i came to discuss that with you

what do you think?

do you think we could defeat them?

we didnt have our guard up when they invaded the last time

are we prepared this time?

yes we can defeat them

wouldnt it be best to stop them at sea before they land?

of course

but i'm worried about yi sunsin

why?

you know

he's so prudent he's almost passive

when he went to help right gyeongsang he went after some time passed

he waited during the jangmunpo battle too

i'm worried about that too

even if an order is given,he trusts his judgment and makes arbitrary decisions

can you put me in charge of the naval forces?

a general should have the courage to jump into a fire if an order is given

yi sunsin doesnt have that courage but i do

i know that

it seems like you have too many ill feelings toward yi sunsin

a desire to achieve merit and a will to win makes a general stronger

restore me the naval forces

if you do,i will sink the wae soldier before they set foot on our land

we're in trouble

preparations were made but we cant stop them?

i'll send a letter to the righteous troops to help the government army

it might not be that helpful

it could have a reverse effect

it would be better if you dont send it

what do you mean?

his majesty killed kim deokryeong

if you were in the righteous groups how would you feel about a letter from

such a king and the crown prince?

the righteous troops will rise to protect their hometowns so dont worry

you should worry more about westerners like yun dusu

what is that supposed to mean?

when this war is over,his majesty will hold the court leaders responsible

then ryu seongryong and easterners...

who will you use when that happens?

you have to make preparations

listen we're at war do i have to go that far?

war already took place

use it

i'm going to forget i heard that

what's going on?

shen weijing is saying that toyotomi hideyoshi was happy about the installation

joseon is saying he refused and he is going to attack again

who is telling me the truth?

welll...wouldnt the report from an envoy that we sent be the truth?

is that so?

minister

yes your majesty

shen weijing is from your mistress's hometown?

yes...

this happened because you embrace him for being from the same hometown

come in!

you saw everything

which report is right?

joseon's report is right

your majesty something has to be wrong!

there is no way toyotomi hideyoshi wouldnt accept the installation

minister

yes your majesty

i'm not interested in national affairs

that doesnt mean you can play me!

your majesty!

look here!

put them in prison right now!

yes your majesty!

your majesty! your majesty!

your majesty! your majesty!

toyotomi hideyoshi wants a fight huh?

konishi

did you find a way to spare your life?

yes there's a solution

there is?

i'll be the one to judge whether it's a solution or not

fine let's hear it

i'll use an estrangement strategy

to eliminate yi sunsin

an estrangment strategy?

i got to know many joseon officials while i was in joseon

so?

i will tel one of them that one of our generals will go to seosanegpo on a certain date

you'll lure yi sunsin to battle and then attack?

no he wouldnt appear just from hearing this information

he is a very cautious person

so why use such bait?

if he doesnt show up,the king and court wont be happy

the joseon king wont be happy if

he misses an opportunity to attack us?

that's right

he will be removed from his position in the least

what do you think?

you have a long life!

fine it's a good plan

thank you your majesty

who will you use as bait?

let me use kato!

kato?

if yi sunsin shows up kato will be killed

he wont show up

i can guarantee it

i know the two of you dont get along but this is too much

but it's a gamble with a person's life

it will be tense and fun

kato's life depends on yi sunsin!

maeda gather all the generals

yes your majesty

your swords are rusty arent they?

i'm sure you know,but i didnt want this war to last longer

too many soldiers were sacrificed and our people are suffering because of this war

but we shed a lot of blood in joseon over the past 5 years

if it has to end without gaining any land all the blood that was shed would be meaningless!

i made a decision

i'm going to reward you for everything you suffered until now

there is no truce we will attack joseon again!

is anyone against that?

there's no need to be afraid

i'm going to listen to your opinions

i'm touched that you made such a decision for us landowners

we will abide by your decision!

we will abide it!

good

reorganize the army

the leader of division 1 will be kato

be the first to land at seosaengpo of ulsanseong!

your majesty...

did you think i abandoned you?

yes i did

you've known me since you were little

once i give my affection,i trust that person to the end

you were the first to worry about me during the last earthquake

you're like my son

your majesty! i will,no,i swear that even my descendants will be loyal to you!

ishida

yes

announce the leaders

division 2 konishi yukinaga

division 3 kuroda nagamasa

division 4 nabeshima naoshige

division 8 mori hidemoto

ukita hideie will be in charge of the left and right forces

it will be an army of 140000

there is one other thing

there will be no truce no matter what

the people to be killed arent just the joseon soldiers and ming soldiers

include all the people of joseon!

it will be difficult to send the heads of our enemy

cut off their noses and send them by preserving them in salt and lime

there is one exception

capture potters alive

weavers too

capture anyone who has skills that would be useful in japan understood?

yes!

make preparations and be ready to go when my order is given!

busanpo japanese army camp

when will there be a full attack?

after yi sunsin is eliminated

who will you use?

what about yoshira and kim eungseo the commander-in-chief of right gyeongsang-do

yes they have a good relationship

if yoshira tells kim eungseo that kato is coming he will tell gwon yul

the king of joseon will find out too

that's right

harvest the crops and defend with a sit-in...

it's not a new strategy but...

it's the most appropriate strategy

i think so too

but the best way is to guard jeolla -do without using that strategy

sure

i'll go and check out the camp in jeolla-do

you should do that

sir!

kim eungseo sent a message

kato kiyomasa is going to come to seosaengpo with a large army soon

what? already?

where did he get this information?

konishi yukinaga gave this information?

yes your majesty

why would he?

i cant believe it

your majesty everyone knows that konishi yukinaga and kato kiyomasa hate each other

konishi wanted to end this war with a truce

he seems sure there wont be a war if we can defeat kato at sea

he doesnt seem to be wrong

if we can sink the advance party at sea...

victory will be ours

that's right your majesty

your majesty we have to be careful

if it's a strategy to lure us our naval forces will suffer much damage

a strategy to lure us?

yes

the first obstacle for them will be yi sunsin

we know that and so does our enemy

we cant just trust the information sent by the leader of our enemies

but if it's true,we could miss a great opportunity just because we're suspicious

i know that

i'm just saying we should be careful since it's such an important matter

it's a chance given by heaven

our formers kings are watching over us

what are you doing?

go to the border defense council and discuss it

we have to attack kato kiyomasa

if we miss the timing our land will be filled with corpses again

if this is a trap,our naval forces will suffer great damage

even if it's a trap,the answer is simple

is it better that only the naval forces suffer or should the entire country suffer damage?

that's not right

if our naval forces fall,a firm defense line will fall

i agree

it wouldnt be an exaggeration to say that the naval forces led by yi sunsin is half our army

we have to be careful

people will think yi sunsin is the only protector of this country

how about this?

tell kim eungseo to send a spy to the wae camp and check things out

meanwhile send an order to yi sunsin and have him stand by to go to battle

if konishi's information is true he can attack kato right away

that sounds like a good idea

even so i'm worried

if they planned this in detail we wont be able to find out if it's true or not

hansando naval headquarters of three provinces

no way!

no matter how much they hate each other he wouldnt kill friendly forces to end the war

even a 3-year-old would know this is a trap

that's right

it's a plan to eliminate you and our naval forces

whatever it is we can just crush them

even if they set a trap for us they wont be able to beat our firepower

how frustrating

they were defeated by us a lot

would they carry out such a plan without making any preparations?

just ignore it

i can ignore the information but i cant ignore an order by his majesty and the court

it's an order to stand by,not an order to go to battle

i'm sure kato will cross the ocean

they're giving up an arm to win this war

his majesty and the court are already inclined in believing this is a chance

to end this war

then his majesty will order an attack

what will we do?

that's what konishi is aiming for

me

kato left nagoya

right on time

yoshitoshi do you want to make a bet?

do you think yi sunsin will appear?

dont you think he'll show up this time?

yeah? well...

i'll bet that he doesnt come

how can you be so sure?

do you know what his fault is?

i'll tell you

he doesnt go to battle unless he is sure of a victory

there's one more thing

he fears unnecessary sacrifices of his men

read it

i'm the commander-in-chief of right gyeongsang-do kim eungseo

i checked out the enemy camp

as of january 4 kato kiyomasa was in tsushima with an army of 7000

he will arrive in seosaengpo soon

the information we received has been confirmed

you should give yi sunsin the order

order yi sunsin to sink the advance party that crosses the ocean

tell him not to spare a single vessel!

sir!

an order has been given to go to battle

year 1597

koichi

yes

when i return to the main land on this boat

i will be holding the head of the king of joseon

i hope that happenes

for sure!

sir...

we cant wait any longer

sir

i know it's a trap

i cant sacrifice our soldiers

we wont go to battle

sir! it's an order by his majesty

ukita i'm back as the leader of the first division

i'm glad you're back!

kato congratulations on your return

dont say things you dont mean!

no no i'm very happy that you crossed the ocean safely

kato! i'm glad you're back

yi sunsin...

is he crazy?

this was a perfect chance

did you relay the order?

yes your majesty

yi sunsin is way too arrogant

it ruined the fate of our nation

remove him from his position and have him transferred to the capital

yes your majesty

disobeying your order like this is a crime of betraying the king and a crime of letting the enemy go

he must not be forgiven

your majesty yi sunsin is an extraordinary admiral

there must have been a reason

you can send someone to investigate then discuss this matter again

that's right

if you punish him now our naval forces will fall

eliminating yi sunsin will benefit the wae army

your majesty please calm down and find out why he didnt obey the order

there isnt a general who achieved as much merit as yi sunsin

he will achieve as much merit in the future too

please consider that

what are you talking about?

he was arrogant about his merits and disobeyed an order by his majesty!

this isnt the first time

he didint go to mugunsa when the crown prince called

he held a national exam at his camp

now he is receiving tolls from boats with an excuse it's to distinguish enemy vessels

i dont care how many lives he has

this time he wont be able to avoid punishment

minister we let all that go because of the situations at his camp

that's why things ended up like this

if we punished him then,he wouldnt have disobeyed his majesty's order!

chief councilor why arent you saying anything?

you recommended yi sunsin

say something

your majesty i know yi sunsin well

he wouldnt act with arrogance just because he achieved much merit

he knows that his life couldnt be spared if he disobeyed your order

disobeying your order despite that must mean there was an unavoidable reason

please look into it before punishing him

is that so?

i know him as well as you too

he doesnt consider me as a king

the people consider him to be a hero

he considers himself to be a king!

transport him to the capital right away!
