The Jingbirok: A Memoir of Imjin War

Kill the pirates and traitor

Carry out the order!

Kill them

They deserve to die!

Please spare me.

There are more spies.

I will give you all the names

Please spare me

Don't Even Try.

Kill him

Bigyeokjincheonnoe.Bigyeokjincheonnoe.

Bigyeokjincheonnoe!

What did you just say?

Bigyeokjincheonnoe

How do you know about that?

I heard about it in japan

I heard such a weapon is

being made in Joseon

Who did you hear that from?

First promise you will spare me

That's not for me to decide

If you contribute to catching the spy

I will ask His Majesty to spare you

Then get me his promise

Do you think this is a negotiation?

Even if you get out of this prison

the people won't spare you

Tell me everything you know

Then the court could protect you

Can you really protect me?

I will

I was with someone named

Oh Manok in japan

He said he was going to jeseon as a spy

to receive a plan of bigyeokjincheonnoe

This is the daily record of

people who entered

Because there is confidential matter

we kept records not only of officials

but also of the hired hands

Did anyone seem suspicious?

You know that most of the people here

worked here for over 5 years

we know all the families well

This person is absent today

He went to his hometown because

his mother was in critical condition

Where is his homwtown?

Search the place

Yes sir!

He said there were dozens of spies

around the nation

If Sakadou wasn't captured

he would have been sent to the capital

as a spy too

He's just a pirate who plunders

He would have been a spy in our capital?

That's a suspicious point

I think the pirates are connected to

the main land

Are you saying they have the plans

for bigyeokjincheonnoe?

Oh Manok was supposed to receive

the plan for bigyeokjincheonnoe

The spy probably still has it

Shouldn't we capture him before

he leaves the country?

General Ship Rip is coming because of that

If i was that spy i would go to Busanpo

since there are Woe officials there

I would try to leave with their help.

Its closer to Tsushima

Send a massenger to Gyeongsang Gamyeong (Goverment office for the governor of Gyeongsang-do)

and have them seal off the coast (Goverment office for the governor of Gyeongsang-do)

I will go with a cavarly unit

Wait

Just a minute

There isnt musch time.we have to hurry

The spies will expect us to

seal off the southern coast

if they do where would they go next?

They would go to the west coast

But there arent any Woe officials there

We cant seal off both coasts

Our forces will be divided too

Decide on one place

We dont have time

Send soldiers to the south coast

Jemuplo(today's Incheon)

General why did you send the main army

to the south coast and come here?

Its what Seoae wanted

Go to Jjemuplo

A cicada's skin looks like a real cicada

when it casts it off

But therel cicada is somewhere else

The spies will be watching our soldiers

We have to deceive them

You want to use

the geumseontalgak strategy? (Flee as if a cicada casts its skin)

Yes (Flee as if a cicada casts its skin)

A hunter shouldnt think from

a hunter's point of view

He should think like a boar

they probably didnt get away yet

Guard this spot with one oh (a unit of the joseon army that comprises of five men)

The rest will search with me (a unit of the joseon army that comprises of five men)

if they appear they must be captured alive

Yes sir

Lets go

Stop!

Where are you going at this hour?

I'm going to jemuplo to find dried fish

Why dont you go in the day time?

Jongno Market wanted dried fish in a hurry

Thats why we came at night

We'll have to check your bags

Put your bags down

After them!

What was that?

Stay low!

Put out the torches

Dont make a sound

Dont get up until the order is given

A matchlook cant be faster than

a sword or an arrow

Its over

Lower your swords

Retrieve their bags

the plans for bigyeokjincheonnoe and

the castle wallsaround the capital

Theres no guarantee they don't know

all our military secrets

Thats right

Give an order to all the gamyeongs (government offices for the provincial governors)

Tell them to find the spies and

increase security in military areas

Listen!

Thats obvious

How will you take responsibilty for this?

This happened while you were

the Minister of war

There werent spy activities just in

the past year or two

The spy at the military base was

a spy for 5 years

if you want to get to the bottom of it

you,ll have to go back further

All the former Ministers of war

will have to be punished

Dont try to use sophistry

You were the Second state councilor

You have to take responsibility too

Stop it

Your majesty I have no intention of

taking responsibility and stepping down

However even if i leave

please send envoys to Woe and

see what their intentions are

Your Majesty we shouldnt send envoys

We should send spies to Woe

Spies arent born overnight

it takes years to carry out activities

and bring back useful infromation

I said stop it!

Leave me

Even thives know when to

enter and leave

How can officials in

top positions not know?

Small minded people like that had control

Its no wonder the country ended up like this

Oh...that little...

What a situation we re in

Its my fault

Are you really going to resign?

We retrieved the plan for bigyeokjincheonnoe

His majesty trusted and spared you

He might get mad if you resign

if something happens and

nobody takes responsibility

this would be a country of ghosts

What will future scholars learn from that?

Im more worried about that than

His majesy being angry

He wont spare me?

I knew it

i asked im really sorry

i have to step down from my post soon

Theres no way to save you

Forget it

Thats how government people are

I was crazy to trust you

Know this for sure

Think about why people like me

turn against the government

The nobility dosent pay land tax

People like us have to pay

We have to do military service

Without getting a cent

Were told to offer specialty products

that dont even grow

Who does this country exist for?

Its better to become a person of Woe

What does it matter?

I committed a huge crime...

But you and the king made me like this

Just leave now

Your majesty its raining

Please go inside

hello

Why are standing here in the rain?

it rained on the way to the rear garden

You'll catch a cold

Please come in

Come on in

Your majesty

I'm getting rained on

because i didn't bring an umbrella

i didn'thave them prepare one since

it wasnt raining a little while ago.

if i had prepare an umbrella

i wouldn't get rained on and

i wouldn't have to worry about a cold

it would have been better if it didn't rain

if that is your concern

wouldn't feel more comfortable...

To be prepared even if it's bothersome?

Forgive me for trying to give you advice

Thank you

Who is this country for?

It's better to become a person of Woe

What does it matter?

you and the king made me like this

Did something happen to your master?

He's drinking a lot today.

it's nice to drink on a rainy day

You must know a bit about drinking

Are you crazy?

You look old.Don't lie about your age

Show me Your ID

Are you crazy?Why would i show you that?

Jongjong take this

Yes ma'am

Here.

What is this?

You drank a lot.i made some tea

Drink it

it's mistletoe tea

It will neutralize the alcohol and

protect the body

Thank you for the precious tea

Come whenever you need more

I'm not sure when i'll be able to

drink here again

Thank you for everything

Sir.

Are you being assigned to another post?

I think i should go to my hometown

and get some rest

I've beenin the capital too long

Then me too?

You dont like Andong?

Its not that.I have to take the exam and...

There must be a woman you like

You can stay

Oh no

Sir.

I don't like you either

Should i have called him orabeoni?

Pack our things?

Yes

I'd like to go to Andong and rest

Tell the children too

Thats a good idea

You haven't been looking too well

I was worried

I will make the preparations

Sir

You're being asked for at the palace

I thought about it a lot

i'll send envoys to Woe

You made a truly wise decision

it will be a blessing for this country

and the people

i'm not seeking foreign relations

by sending envoys

its to preparefor confusion and

for the safety of our people

don't forget it's just a means to

see what the barbarian country is up to

of course your majesty

Your majesty

I can step down in comfort now

Continue to be a wise ruler for

our country and its people

What are you talking about?

You were the one who

wanted to send envoys

You want to leave now that i've decided?

I have to take responsibility for the spies

Take responsibility after the matter of

the envoys is settled

You can find a suitable minister to do that

How frustrating

Except for the two of you

everyone was against it

How can i leave it to one of them?

Your majesty...

Military traiing ground near Kyoto Japan

Kato! Push! Push!

Push a bit more!

Kato!

Yeah Kato! Kato!

Kato! Kato!

Kato!

Thank you your majesty

if you lost i was going to demote you

and send you to a rural area

i didn't you'd enjoy it if it ended too easily

i pretended to lose a bit

You'repretty smart

Give the soldiers meat and wine!

Your majesty

Hojo Ujinao of odawara castle

started a rebelion

Hojo?

The soldiers must want action

Good.

Bring a map of odawara castle

Yes sir

Unit 1 will surround Odawara Castle and

unit 2 will seal off the waterway

They'll be isolated in the castle

They won't last a month

What are you talking about?

Let's make it swift

We should raied them at night

There will be too much damage for us too

if you want to minimize damage

even if it takes time

Don't be foolish!

There are many rebellious forces

We cant leave Kyoto for a long time

Even if we sufer some damage

we should suppress them quickly

Kato.

Do you think i would leave Kyoto

without taking any measures?

I'm sorry i just...

Never Mind

The soliders of Odawara Castle are

my soldiers too

Like Konishi said its better to

have them surrender

- Konishi - Yes

How many soldiers do you need?

50'000 should be enough

Okay.

Tell the daimyos about odawara castle

and form an army

Yes sir!

Konishi

Yes sir

Do you still believe in Kirishitan? (Catholicism)

No

I let it all go when

you ordered me to abandon it

That must not have been easy but good

Dont forget to continue studying Joeson

Yes sir

You can go now

Konishi is lying to me

What?

You cant abandon a belief that easily

I would have believed him if he said

he was trying even if it was hard

i know he's hiding the Kirishitan priests

How dare he deceive you?

Kato!

This isnt the place for Konishi to die

Then?

His family knows Joseon well from trading

He's still useful

Let it go until's he's useless

Yes sir

You want to send me to joseon?

My lord

it wont go your way

How can this be?he wants to send envoys?

And he wants to leave it to Ryu Seongryong

someone who should resign?

i can't believe it

i dont understand his majesty

Gaeam what is going on?

He spared him for the Jeong Yeorip incident

i dont know why his majesty

favors Ryu Seongryong so much

Thats easy

Hello

You're a bit late

he is using Ryu Seongryong and Lee Sanhae

as a check against us

A check?

He was controlled by the Easterners

He won't be controlled by us

So he's going to leave Ryu Seongryong

and Lee sanhae?

Now do you get it?

He's going to rule his own way?

We won't be able to carry out

Taoist politics then

I have two plans

Ryu Seongryong and Lee Sanhae

have to be removed

Ryu Seongryong volunteerd to be punished

but his majesty spared him

How can we beat that?

We have to fight head on

Envoys can't be sent and

Ryu Seongryong can't remain on the court

Go on in

Don't call me here in the future

Come to the hut

i'm the second state councilor

it's alright

Your status will be restored soon

Thank You

I already made my decision

Don't discuss it further

Your majesty I will step down

Be quiet

Your majesty

I know you want to

be prepared for trouble

But sending envoys to Woe will

shake up the roots of this country

You said yourself

You should find other means

Ryu Seongryong must take responsibility

for the spies and be removed from office

Top secrets were almost exposed

if nobody taks responsibility

how will order be set among

all the government officials?

You must punish him

if the former minister is responsible

the current minister has more responsibility

All the officials are responsible

if you punish Ryu Seongryong

you will have to punish the current

Minister of war me and

the second state councilor Jeong Cheol

He's not completely wrong

What do you think Second state councilor?

of course

i will have to take responsibilty

and step down too

What?

i will also resign

We will resign

You want to be a wolf an a mountain

without a tiger?

What am i?

Your majesty please calm down

Your majesty!

Get the doctor!

Your majesty!

Your majesty...

He took some medicine and fell asleep

okay.let me know when he wakes up

Yes your highness

Whose servants are jeong cheol

and the westerners?

Even dogs don't bite their masters

How dare they make His majesty take to bed?

I wont forget this

Prince Imhae

lower your voice

Your highness i cant take it

its making me very angry

oh dear

please calm down

there isnt any peace in the palace

its because of greed

the servants are greedy

And his majesty...

im sorry im stepped overboard

Lets go

Will you be alright?

if the opponent removes

the cha and po in janggi

we should be prepared to remove

the ma and sang

the opponent could upset the board

if we're all abandoned

the court wil be

have to be filled with eastrners again

He wont be able to do that

The court will be paralyzed

Convince his majesty to let me go to

my hometown and get some rest

if you go now you wont be able to

return to the capital

endure this for the future

besides its not a matter for me to

get involved in

His majesty and the westerners are

fighting for power

its a pathetic sight

What will the people think of the court?

I agree

But will things get better if we step down?

If we do the westerners will act arbitrarily

Then this country will...

Sir

as the leader of the westerners

you once did the same thing

I blindly followed too

How can you say we're right

and they're not?

they had someone like Yul Gok

Seoae

This isnt right

if you step down

we wont be able to send the envoys

His majesty agrred to that with diffculty

Your majesty are you alright?

Do i look alright to you?

i am sorry

What is your job?

Did you watch jeong cheol?

I waited for you to get up

I watched him as you told me to

There was a schemer behind him

A schemer?

Are you song lkpil?

What did you just say?

Are you mistaken?

Much time passed

But i know the person i saw with you often

it was definitely Gubong

Thank you.you can go

Gyeham whats going on?

Are you sure its song lkpil?

Yes Father

What is the crime?

He told Jo heon and the confucian scholars

to write appeals during the investigation

of jeong yeorip's treason

No wonder

Jeong cheol couldnt make

such meticulous moves

song lkpil was behind him

Who found out?

Was there an appeal?

No

A royal order was given

There weren't any appeals?

it was a secret order by his majesty?

Sir

Did you hear?

is it true that song lkpil was behind

the framing of innocent scholars?

it seems so

Jeong cheol moved his plans

How can this be?

A thousand innocent people died because of

One person

His majesty could have given Jeong Cheol

a sword knowing it was a ruse

its killing the opponent with

someone else's sword

im beginning to fear his majesty

Did you want to see me?

i heard you were close with song lkpil

Yes

but i havent seen him since

his status dropped to a servant

is that so?

i heard he went to your house a few days ago

Am i mistaken?

Councilor

Yes your majesty

its just the two of us here

isnt it perfect for us to have a secret?

Lets say you have nothing

to do with song lkpil

Your majesty please kill me

I said you have nothing to do with him

Why should i kill you?

You area pillar of this counrty

The ceiling would fall if a pillar is removed

I will never forget your kindness

if another pillar is removed

the ceiling will still fall

How about supporting the ceiling well

with the other pillars?

Do you mean Ryu Seongryong

and Lee Sanhae?

I will abide by your wish

There is only one reason for pillars

They stand to support the ceiling

Can you do that?

I will do that

About the matter of sending envoys to Woe

What should i do?

Do as you wish

get up

You are a truly loyal servant

I wont punish song lkpil severely

Dont meet him and

cause a misunderstanding

Thank you Your majesty

Kim seongil of sungkyunkwan would be

a suitable envoy

He is knowledgeable and spirted

He will fulfill the task well

Kim seongil studied with you under Toegye

How can you let personal relations

affect such a important matter?

its not that Dont misunderstand

Then how about sending

Hwang Yungil of jungchubu?

He is also knowlegeable and has insight

Hwang Yungil is your...

We conceded to sending envoys

You should concede a bit too

His majesty left the matter up to

The minister of personnel

This isnt a game of baduk

it is an important matter

We should be in agreement

Stop it

i will form a group of envoys with

Hwang Yungil and Kim seongil

Minister

I was thinking of Hwang Yungil too

Im sure he'll do a fine job

I Hwang Yungil accept your order

I Kim seongil accept your order

Remember

This is a mission of scouting

Do not do anything to lower

the status and spirit of Joseon

Yes Your majesty

March 6 1590

After much diffculty Westerner Hwang Yungil

and Easterner Kim seongil headed to

Japan as envoys

it had been 150 years since

Joseon sent envoys

Ryu Seongryong became

The Third state councilor

is it true that Song lkpil was behind

the framing of innocent scholars?

His majesty could have given Jeong Cheol

a sword knowing it was a ruse

its killing the opponent with

someone else's sword

im beginning to fear his majesty

Gyeham? (Jeong Cheol's penname)

Im sorry im not gyeham

its been a long time

if you are a scholar recognized by Yul Gok...

Answer me truthfully

are you asking if the prison deaths

were my doing?

i dont have to be a scholar to answer that

i know his majesty is weak and

has a desire for power

i stimulated that desire a bit

He got really excited

i didnt expect the envoy matter

to be settled so easily

it seems as if he waited for such stimulation

he swung a sword around like an executioner

How dare you try to blame him

for such an atrocious act?

do you know what makes you so foolish?

You only see what you want to

Should i tell you again?

i only provided kindling in his majesty's heart

Knowing that

he set fire and burned everything

That is the king you serve
