The Jingbirok a memoir of imjin war

finally it's finally complete

if its installed in daewangu mortars it will fly 600-700m and

do this to the wae soldiers

good job

your name and accomplishment wil by remembered by later generations

no no it was all because of your great support

thank you very much

no no

how long will it take to mass produce them?

about two months

i'll speed it up as fast as i can

thank you

the bigyeokjincheonnoe was invented by the chief artillery officer lee jangson

it was a time bomb that used a fuse to control the explosion timing

from a close distance the fuse was wrapped ten times

for a far distance the fuse wrapped fifteen times

it was thrown from the fortress wall or installed in large mortars

sunan government building pyeongan-do

its been a month since you crossed amnokgang and came to joseon Lee wonik(governor of pyeongan-do)

has it already been that long?

shouldnt we head to pyeongyang now?

is the situation the same in pyeongyang?

yes wae soldiers are still occupying pyeongyangseong

i gave them so much time

what do you mean

the best combat skill is to win without a fight

i didnt just rest

i gave the enemy time to flee

this seems to be a sign from heaven for me to achieve great merit

yes it seems so

shall we go to collect their heads?

5000 ming soldiers led by the joseon army are headed south

oh dear

reorganize the army and stand by

yes sir

they are only 5000 in number but i heard their weapons are very powerful

it will take more time for the soldiers to recover from the endemic

except for the fact that we are more in number we are at disadvantage

if we are at a disadvantage

we'll have to provoke their ambition

its the first reinforcement from ming

they will want to achieve merit

the empty fortress strategy

pretend the fortress isnt being guarded and lure the enemy

yes sir

sir the wae soldiers left the fortress

is this true?

yes

they must have fled when they saw us

we should have come sooner

let's go to pyeongyangseong

sir

wait a minute

lord

i just heard the wae army left pyeongyangseong

but it could be a trap

a trap

it doesnt matter

it's my wish to fight against them

still you should minimize losses to your army

bring some people from pyeongyangseong to confirm

are they people from pyeongyangseong?

yes the inspector checked

did the wae army really withdraw?

yes i saw them leave early in the morning

they didnt leave any soldiers?

no they were in a big hurry

they even left all their food

their food too?thats good

shi ru prepare to advance

yes sir

general just a moment

we confirmed everything

what are we waiting for?

i have a bad feeling

we should send a patrol unit to check the fortress one more time

take a few soldiers and

you dont want me to achieve merit first?

its not that

occupation of the fortress will be your merit

i dont take merit from others

the joseon army can stay and make sure the wae army doesnt return

lets go

it was confirmed what could happen?

when we recover pyeongyangseong the tables will turn

i really hope so

hurray hurray

gee...i need some heads to save face

right shi ru?

really

sir it was a trap

the entire army was annihilated

shi ru dai zhaobian and zhang guozhong all died

what about the vice commander?

he barely escaped with a few dozen cavarlymen

the people who said the wae army left were sunwae and were sent to trick us (People who surrendered to wae)

sunwae?

i ought to

it was about 600km from pyeongyangseong to uiju

it only took a day by horse

konishi yukinaga annihilated the ming army led by zu chengxhun

it still isnt clear why he didnt head north

some theories include yi sunsin cutting off the enemy's supply route

the exhaustion of the soldiers from the previous battles

lower morale due to the endemic etc

there are many reasons

anyway because he didnt head north joseon earned the time and chance to turn the tables

temporary quarters in uiju

i knew it when zu chengxun boasted

what could he do with 5000 soldiers?

ming knows how powerful the wae army is now

they will send a large army

please be strong

when?

after i die?

how can you say such a thing?

there is nowhere else to flee to

i cant go to ming

there is nowhere to take royal refuge

all that's left is being captured

i'd rather kill myself than

be captured and humiliated

your majesty

uiju was the place for me to die

your majesty

zu chengxun took the enemy lightly icheon bunjo temporary quarters gangwon-do

because he was blinded by ambition

i'm afraid his majesty will be afraid and ask to go to yodong again

i wish he would go

its not that i have other intentions

if he goes to yodong he wont have to be so nervous

bunjo wont have to tiptoe around

we can fight against wae all we want

i can understand that but dont ever say that out loud

his majesty will be in rage if he hears that

i know i also know that he wont leave everything to me and go

i'm just frustrated

near jinhae gyeongsang-do

let's take a break here

yes sir

we will rest here

wakisaka yasuharu

what was the damage at angolpo?

of the forty-two vessels over half sunk including the leading vessel

how many died at hansando and angolpo?

if you include the injured dead and missing its close to 9000

9000

9000

yi sunsin i will get you

i will bury you in the ocean

sir everyone is waiting for you

you should join them

it was a huge victory

we should have a small celebration

are you worried about something?

if i was the leader of the enemy i would attack our camp by land

that's true if the army comes down to jeolla-do and attacks with the naval forces

there will be nothing we can do

i'm not afraid of fighting at sea

but we dont even have a horse to fight on land

we should make preparations

well...is there a way?

there are horses near our camp

dolsando and baegyagot of suncheon and dongyanggjang of heungyang

there are ranches owned by the royal family

thats a good idea

bring the horses so we can train them

would his majesty approve?

those horses arent governement property

they are his majesty's private property

would he stop us when its to overcome a national crisis?

i will send a request and ask for approval

sir we caught the men who stole military rations

please please spare us

i lost my mind when i heard that my children were starving

it wont ever happen again

you look familiar

he's from suncheon

he stole military rations before

this is his second time?

he stole about 10kg

its not a lot just give him a flogging

yes

have all the soldiers watch

he can be made an example

we were at disadvantage but we won every time because

we had intensive training and strict military discipline

without discipline there is no victory

our victory isnt just a victory

the existence of our country and the lives of our people depend on it

how can military discipline be taken lightly?

anyone who disobeys military law is like the enemy

execute them all

sir

sir

sir please spare us just once

execute them

sir sir sir please spare us

sir

myriarch

yes

tell their families they died in battle

send them the rice they stole

yes sir

temporary quaeters in uiju

what is it?

its a letter from nurhaci the leader of the jurchens

he is willing to send reinforcements if we wish for it

the jurchens?

anju governement building pyeongan-do

sir we caught him

he is

thats right he gave us false information that pyeongyangseong was empty

how did you catch him?

i used deception too

i said i would surrender to wae and take the lead

he came right out

on your knees

please spare me

they said they would kill my wife and children

i had no choice

how many more people surrendered?

a few dozen from pyeongyangseong

but most of them surrendered because they were threatened and

they needed food

it wasnt because we like wae

hey still how can you help wae?

the ming army that came to reinforce us was annihilated because of you

do you think you can pay for that with your life?

we should rip him to pieces

i'll kill him and display his head

lets go

please spare me

how many enemies are in pyeongyangseong?

a little over 10000

but most of them are sick with an endemic

less than half of them can move

an endemic?

yes its true

temporary quarters in uiju

the ming army was annihilated

what will we do?

did you sent an envoy to ming?

we already sent someone

the situation in ming isnt good

because of an insurrection by bobai

what will we do?

minister

yes your majesty

did nurhaci say he would send reinforcements?

yes your majesty

tell him we'll accept

your majesty you cant do that

how can you ask barbarians for help?

when the ming army led by zu chengxun entered our country

the people of uiju fled to the mountains out of fear would make trouble

ming is like a brother nation yet the people were afraid

the intention of the jurchens is suspicious

what more do we have to say?

you cant do that

i know what you're worried about

but we have to grab at straws right now

what if that straw is poisonous?

once the barbarians enter our land there will be now way to control them

could we convice them with etiquette?

or could we use diplomacy like ming?

if nurhaci's army enters our land it will be the same as the wae army

dont say that

he is offering help because we're desperate

dont say they're the same as the wae army

if you're that worried ask for at least a couple thousand soldiers

to protect and escort me

if you want help from barbarians you'll have to kill me first

it will take a while before reinforcements arrive from ming

the enemy will head north and try to kill me

fine i will die

i will die here

your majesty

your majesty most of the wae soldiers at pyeongyangseong are ill with an endemic

they cant move much

that is why they couldnt fight against the ming army

that is what ryu seongryong thinks

is this true?

yes your majesty

heaven didnt abandon me

i wasnt abandoned

minister

yes your majesty

send another envoy to ming

if they send reinforcements right away it will be easy to defeat wae

yes your majesty

councilor i'd like a word with you

i have nothing to say to you

are you still upset that i supported his majesty in taking royal refuge?

the song gang i knew is already dead

i know i know but

i realized when i just heard that his majesty wanted to ask barbarians for help

he's not as clever as he used to be

he is just struggling to stay alive

even after this war is over

he wont win back public sentiments

what is it you want to say?

this battle will end some day

if we're to win public sentiments and establish our nation again

we will need a new ruler

public sentiments have turned but if we do that

it will just cause more confusion

i know it will just cause more confusion at this time

but after the war the crown prince has to rule the country

didnt you want that?

but his majesty is putting up his guard too much against the crown prince

after the war he will try to make prince sinseong the crown prince

we need to protect and support the current crown prince

you know he qualifies to be the king

forget i upset you before

let's join forces and help the crown prince

i must be crazy

i tried to ask barbarains for help

your majesty

how will i face the former kings?

how did i end up in this situation?

i'm ashamed i'm truly ashamed

look at this

zu chengxun was surrounded because the joseon army surrendered

its clear that joseon is colluding with wae to attack ming

your majesty zu chengxun fell for a trap because he was full of ambition

what are you talking about?

he sent a report

its an excuse by a defeated general

i had officials watch zu chengxun's army in case something like this happened

they all sent the same report

is that so?

take a look

your majesty

zu chengxun dared to deceive me?

has bobai's insurrection been suppressed?

yes li rusong seized the chance to victory

he just seized the chance now?

it sure is taking a long time

just report the results

and i thought about it

they are a feudal nation serving me

but do my soldiers have to shed blood like this for joseon?

your majesty its to protect ming

still we're fighting to save joseon now

i'l have to think about the price

what if i help them out and ask for some land?

i could send people to manage it

your majesty

hoeryeong hamgyeong-do

where is he?

what's the problem?

arrest him

stop right there

dont you know who i am?

im the prince of this country imhae

there's no prince in a fallen country

you

dont yell at me prince of a fallen nation

take him away

let go of me

im the prince of this country

are you sure they are the princes of joseon?

yes the oldest prince imhae and the sixth prince sunhwa

their families and officials of hoeryeong were all capture and locked up

good i'm very happy

rule hoeryeong and the gyeongseong area

thank you sir

you can go now

yes sir

i'm sorry for being so rude

release me and my family right away

i'm sure you already heard

im the oldest prince of joseon

when this war ends i will become the king of this country

if you release me now i wont forget it and you will be rewarded

rewarded?

can i be rewarded now?

kochi

write a letter to the king of joseon

tell him to come and surrender right now

that's rude

that's rude?

kochi

i need some fresh air

show him what rude is

when i return

he'd better be ready to write

yes sir

dont trust prince imhae

he lies all the time and he's violent like a wild animal

he is still the prince of your country

my country?

i'm just a sinner who was exiled to hoeryeong

joseon fell

you are rulling this place now

i'm not a sinner anymore

i'm a citizen of a new country and and official serving you that's all

is that so?

what an unfortunate country joseon is

are you ready to write?

yes

what?kato captured the princes?

yes

oh

have men watch the movement at kato's camp

yes sir

general look who's here

ishida

konishi

does his majesty know the situation here?

our supply route was cut off and we can occupy jeolla-do

there is an endemic too

if the war lasts long we will all die here

what should we do?

with ming fighting in the war it isnt just between japan and joseon now

its a fight between japan joseon and ming

but it will be a war led by ming and us

are you going to negotiate with ming?

on what condition?

sharing land and rule

if we stop the war accept the land we occupied so far

as terriroty of japan

would his majesty approve?

of course not

so how

we'll have to find a way

if we dont we will never be able to go back home

that is the only way for me and

my soldiers to survive

tsurumatsu is gone

my mother is gone

everyone is leaving me

please calm down your majesty

o-mandokoro wouldnt want you to be in such pain

what's the use of being healthy?

there's no joy in life

maeda

yes

i'm going to go it's too late

i'm going to go to joseon with the ashes of my mother and tsurumatsu

your majesty

you cant do that

i couldnt tell you because you were mourning

but i'm carrying your son

son?did you just say my son?

yes

that's improper he is in mourning

quiet be quiet

how do you know it's a son?

o-mandokoro told me in my dream

she said it was definitely a son and told me to guard him well

mother

you cant go to joseon

i'm afraid i'll lose him like tsurumatsu

please protect me and your son

mother

mother mother

you should have lived just a little longer

mother my son is going to be born

mother

my son my son

i wont be able to go

that's right

i have to go to kill yi sunsin

if he didnt block the ocean our naval forces would have went north along the west coast

they would have joined the army and captured the king of joseon

variables always exist

maeda what should we do about yi sunsin?

if the enemy is strong avoid him

tell them to avoid him

tell them not to fight at sea

tell them to fight against the joseon naval forces from land

naval forces cant fight on land

that's a good idea you're so good

accoring to ukita's report there are righteous troops

who are they?

gong hwigyeom?he deserves to die

he helped the wae army Sim daeseung

he's saying he's going to become the magistrate of gyeongju?

jaeu

he should be killed before the wae army Gwak jaeu(leader of the righteous troops)

i ought to hang up his head to stop people from helping wae

daeseung find our where he is

yes

generals dont worry

i'll show you the way to jeolla-do Gong hwigyeom

i'm the magistrate of gyeongju

good i will tell his majesty what you did

who's there?

i'm from uiryeong i'm gwak jaeu
