The Jingbirok a memoir of imjin war

say something if anyone is alive

is anyone is alive...say something

sir sir

open your eyes sir

sir sir

temporary quarters in yeongyu pyeongan-do

ryu seongryong took to bed ill?

yes your majesty

it's an ilness from repressed anger

repressed anger?

the capital looks like hell and the ming army didnt pursue the enemy

i can understand why he became sick

the ming army and the wae army definitely made a deal

that's right your majesty

call song yingchang and ask him

okay i'll call song yingchang and...

your majesty song yingchang is here

good...show him in

yes your majesty

i'm glad you came

i have something to ask you

can i ask you something first?

why did you interfere with our pursuit of the wae army?

what are you talking about?

that's what i wanted to ask you

what are you talking about?

according to the commander's report the ming army was going to pursue

but couldnt because the joseon army didnt have boats ready for them

the joseon generals didnt think about pursuing the enemy

they went to the commander's camp and had drinks to celebrate recovering the capital

that cant be...

let me tell you one more thing

i heard you are dividing busan and giving it to wae

you set up border marks here and there and gave a secret order not to attack

are you that afraid of battle?

is that way you tried to hold peace talks with wae?

no no that's not true

i never did such a thing

look here

how could i talk about peace with the wae army?

i believe that

i'm just saying there are such rumors at the wae camp so i asked

you agree with me?

there can be no negotiating with the wae army?

of course not

if the wae army doesnt leave neither will i

if i dont leave neither will li rusong and the ming army

that's good

so why did you have our soldiers carry out letters saying the wae army shouldnt be attacked?

that was to make the enemy feel safe

we were going to attack from the rear

that was your intention i didnt know

but our plan was ruined because there werent any boats at hangang

i'm sorry i'm truly sorry

i'll reprimand the generals so such a thing never happens again

yes your majesty

how did they find the vessels that we hid?

they brought about 70 vessels we had to pursuit

i was in a bind

so?

i remembered i injured my leg at the byeokjegwan battle

i said i was in pain and i couldnt move

what could they do?they had to give up

he was such a crybaby

it was as if he was about to die

i thought it was for real too

i see good job

administrator song would have been mad if we pursued the enemy

so we wont be fighting the enemy anymore?

unless the peace agreement is broken probably

dont worry drink up

oh! ryu seongryong took ill to bed

ryu seongryong?

yes he fainted when he saw the tragic sight of the capital

i think it's because he has no experience at war

how can a man have such a weak heart?

he's only a top minister because joseon is so small

he would have been a low-level official in charge of military rations in ming

just drink up

your majesty please dont abandon us

i'm sorry i'm leaving right now but i will return i will definitely return

your majesty

how can this be?

kill them all

sir are you awake?

general luo

oh...

what brings you here?

i heard the supreme commander was ill Luo Shangzi(Staff general of ming)

i'm glad you came

i was worried about him too let's go in together

sir

the supreme commander isnt here

what are you talking about?

he left this on the desk

i'm going to check out the situation in the south and go to our camps

in his situation?

who went with him?

i think he took cheonri

dont worry too much

i'm sorry you came all this way for nothing

i will let you know when he returns

sir

i have something to tell you

is this true?

yes it was administrator song's order not to pursue the enemy

as a general of the reinforcments i'm truly embarrassed and sorry

please forgive me

i had my doubts but it's not your fault

thank you for telling me

let me ask one thing

is administrator song trying to seek a truce?

yes

what are the conditions of the truce?

that much i dont know

i dont think commander li knows either

one thing is for sure until the peace talks are achieved we wont fight against the wae army

yi sunsin is having the refugees cultivate the government fields

that is government property

soldiers should cultivate those fields

sharing crops that should be offered to the court is being shared with the refugees

that was never done before was it?

it's a difficult situation

yi sunsin couldnt abandon the refugees who had nowhere else to go

still

we should be careful about refugees who gather in large groups

it might go against national laws but there are difficult times

having the refugees cultivate the fields until they find another place to live isnt a bad solution at this time

that's right your majesty

if you kick them out right away they will be disappointed with you

you should wait and see for a while

if i drive them out they'll be disappointed with me

if i let them stay yi sunsin will be praised

fine let's wait and see

you are a truly benevolent ruler

thank you your majesty

your majesty

administrator song is trying to achieve a truce with the wae army

what?

are you saying he deceived me this whole time?

he is a very sly person

he threatened you to hide his true intentions

how can someone who was ordered to defeat the wae army do such a thing?

bring him right now

you saw how he was last time he's a snake

do you think he would admit it?

we should report his actions directly to beijing (Ming's capital)

to the emperor himself?

that's a good idea

he will call song yingchang back and punish him for disobeying an imperial order

the emperor will send another administrator who will fight against wae

we have to do it without song yingchang finding out

how should we do this?

your majesty we havent been able to send an envoy

thanking the emperor for sending reinforcements

send an envoy to report the recovery of pyeongyang and hanyang and

thank the emperor for sending reinforcements

send a secret letter too?

that's right

your majesty i will go

you always end up doing all the dirty work

please do it

administrator what brings you here?

search everywhere

yes sir

what is the problem?

you approved of this trip

i did but i received some information

information?

i heard there is a wae spy in the group with a secret letter to a spy in beijing

there cant be

i'm also hoping it's not true

i know it's inconvenient but please cooperate

i understand

there arent any suspicious letters

is that so?

please excuse me

it's alright then i'll be...

wait

they searched everyone but one person

are you suspecting me?

it's just a formality

take off that belt

look here! do you have to go this far?

administrator

are you mun ikjeom?

did you hate me that much?

he disobeyed an imperial order and sought peace with the wae army

what do you think of me?

i told you it was a strategy not to pursue the wae army

who was it?

who said i was seeking a truce with the wae army?

i'm sorry

your majesty why dont you believe me?

can we call ming and joseon allied forces?

it's all my fault

i shouldnt have listened

this wont happen again

no send an envoy

tell the emperor you recovered pyeongyang and hanyang

tell him the wae army was driven off this land

what are you talking about?

the wae army is still here

are you planning to deceive the emperor?

they will be leaving soon so you can report that

we will report it after they leave

you were going to turn me into a sinner anyway

cant you do this much for me?

should i retreat to yodong with the army?

no no fine i'll send an envoy

the national border council will discuss it and from a party of envoys

lord go yourself

your majesty...i cant believe this

it turned out for the better

i cant bring your letter but i'll meet the emperor and tell him myself

understood

song yingchang will not move the army

send a secret order to gwon yul

have him attack the wae army in the south

li rusong and song yingchang had a fit after the victory at haengjusanseong

will that be possible?

if he has different intentions we have to attack and break the truce

if wae is attacked by us they wont be able to achieve the truce so easily

that's a good plan

your majesty you have to fear the people more than ming

if peace is achieved with wae you and the court's family will be criticized for generations to come

fine we have the upper hand

we should be able to defeat wae ourselves

i'm going to kill the wae army which is at the edge of a cliff

we have to defeat the enemy quickly before the ming army finds out

we should we defeated them at haengjusanseong if we defeat them again

ming will have to recognize the joseon army

that's right

i'll go south and check out the movement of the wae army there

do that

let's go

everyone hurry

what if jeong cheol tells the emperor that we are seeking a truce?

dont worry the emperor doesnt even care about our own national matters

he hears about everything from the ministers

if the court ministers find out...

the minister of defense wants a truce

it doesnt matter what jeong cheol says

the minister will cover us

the emperor will only receive a report that the wae army returned to the main land

that's right

what about the envoys who will be sent wae?

i told xie yongzi and xu yiguan to act like they were from ming

they'll be sent to busan soon

but

i'm not happy with the king of joseon

neither am i

what's interesting is the court ministers and people arent that happy with him either

i thought so

he only cares about himself

he is insisting on fighting against wae because he is only thinking of himself

that's right he is at fault for causing this war

if he doesnt fight to the end

he seems to scare easily but he wont listen to us

What about the crown prince?

do you mean prince gwanghae?

he gained public sentiments when he led bunjo

the ministers trust him a lot too

is there a possibility he will go along with us?

he has stronger feelings regarding wae that the current king

find out

find out about the relations between the king and the servants too

understood

take it away

you will collapse again

eat a little

his majesty is keeping a distance since prince sinseong died

i have nobody to rely on

how long do i have to be the attendant?

arent you going to return to the capital?

what's the use?

i'm useless to the king like chicken ribs

if gwanghae takes the throne we are both as good as dead

gee...some people throw out chicken ribs but some people like them

we should make them want us

his majesty is the real chicken rib

what are you talking about?

song yingchang doesnt like him very much

probably not he got caught trying to report song sing yingchang to the emperor

he ordered someone to look into gwanghae

what?gwanghae?

we're in trouble song yingchang is going to exclude his majesty

he's going to plan something with the crown prince who gained public sentiments

then i will be surrounded by enemies

why do you think so?

his majesty isnt interested in you

you should side with gwanghae

hey!

you dare tell me to betray his majesty?

you know that gwanghae gained public sentiments

with someone like song yingchang behind him

he will easily take the throne

ew have to get on gwanghae's side to survive

i cant do that even if his majesty treats me like chicken ribs

i'm not telling you to betray him

today's power and tomorrow's power you should have a little of both to survive

it wont be bad to get on gwanghae's good side

gwanghae...

hello administrator

i came because you had something to say but this is...

you came a long way to help our country

i thought i should thank you in person

that's why i prepared this

is that so?

you must be unhappy that the ming army didnt pursue the wae army

not everything is possible by the human will

i'm sure you have deeper intentions

i didnt think there was anyone great in joseon

but there is a woman who understands your intentions

welcome crown prince

you said you wanted to talk to me

yes i asked the administrator to come to talk about the future of our country

is that alright?

that's alright with me

i will leave

crown prince please have a seat

if you're going to take the throne you will have to discuss everything with ming

it wouldnt be bad to grow close

the administrator is being generous

it would be rude to just leave

you should join us

if you have the leisure to dine like this you should pursue the wae army

crown prince can i ask you something?

is it your priority to save joseon from this crisis or is it your first priority to kill the enemy?

it's to overcome this crisis of course

good

his majesty seems to think differently

there's no way

he isnt trying to overcome this crisis

he is trying to get revenge for the people

that way he can continue to sit on the throne

i think you and i can talk

can i give you a drink?

let's have a drink

the administrator seems to like you

what's the use of being interested in a crown prince who is a puppet?

you're not a puppet

the people are saying this crisis would be over if you continued to lead bunjo

i'm upset that his majesty dissolved bunjo

if i was to lead the court again...

i must be intoxicated from this drink

forget what i said

nagoya

your majesty envoys came from ming

they finally came

dont meet them right away

let them wait a while

like the joseon envoys who came in the past

sure they cant meet the son of the sun that easily

have the conditions for a truce been set?

we are going to ask the emperor's daughter to be sent as a concubine

good

we will start trading and have commercial vessels travel back and forth

that's a matter of course

most importantly we will demand the land south of hangang be recognized as our land

good very good

have them return the two princes

have them take the other prince and high level minister as hostages

understood when will you see the envoys?

tell them to enjoy nagoya for a month and a half

we have to occupy jinjuseong during that time

that will put us at an advantage for the peace talks

that's right

we were humiliated at jinjuseong before

we have to pay them back in double or triple if we're to be true samurais

tell them to slaughter every living creature at jinjuseong!

yes your majesty

busan japanese army camp

we're ready for battle

let's go

konishi

this is the result of the peace talks?

you said the enemy wouldnt attack

the joseon army is taking covert action without ming's knowledge

it's not my fault

you should have made sure with the ming army the joseon army wouldnt make a move

why?are you afraid of losing to the joseon men?

i'm not afraid your actions are pathetic

how long do i have to clean up after you?

i cant get any rest because of you

then just rest

rest forever without breathing

what?

what are you doing?

ukita kato isnt feeling well

he wants some rest

what are you talking about?i'm going to battle

everyone is going to battle

what?

we're going to crush the joseon army

there's no need for the entire army to attack

it's an order from his majesty

it's an order to take jinjuseong

jinjuseong?

it's revenge for being defeated last time

it's an order to take jinjuseong for a long-term conflict

kato get ready

yes sir

please help us

nobody can stop you

how long are you going to try to deceive me?

do you think you will always be lucky like you were at haengjusanseong?

i apologized for that

please send the army

if you dont our soldiers and people will all be slaughtered

if they are all slaughtered at jinjuseong it will be the same as being slaughtered by you

administrator

i cant discuss trust and loyalty with you

can you call yourself the king of a country?

listen

the king has no loyalty

it's no wonder the country faced such a crisis

even the boss of a market hoodlum is more loyal than this

i'm going to have to think about whether or not to discuss great matters with you in the future

please leave

your majesty

on june 1593 the japanese army attacked for ten days and occupied jinjuseong

they had a grudge for being defeated the first time

they killed all the soldiers and 30000 people in the fortress

the ming army was staying in seongju but didnt help the joseon army

the occupation of jinjuseong was the result of toyotomi hideyoshi wanting part of joseon

as japanese land and the neglect of the ming army with an intention of taming the joseon court

yeoju left jeolla naval headquarters

it's been a while since we had a drink together

there were many difficulties

althought this is the greatest difficulty of all

there wasnt a peaceful day

it wasnt peaceful especially for you

when you served in war as a commoner i thought my heart would collapse

how could you be hated so much by your superiors?

that's a talent

you should have accepted some bribes and made some bribes too

how can you be so stiff?

it's because i take after you

when i lived in geoncheong-dong in hanyang

i saw you and yosin for the first time when you were thirteen

it's already been 40 years

i miss the days we went to school without any worries

you look exhausted

is something wrong?

sir

jinjuseong has been taken by the wae army

what is the damage to our army?

7000 soldiers died and 30000 of our people were all slaughtered

are you alright?

you wailed all night when you heard about jinjuseong

do you remember?

i'm ashamed that i'm still alive

busanjinseong dongnaeseong pyeongyangseong the capital and jinjuseong...

our precious land is all covered with corpses and drenched with blood

when i close my eyes i hear the wailing of the soldiers and our people

i'm not confident of going on

get up there is something you should see

are people cultivating land in a military camp?

yes

if they're cultivating the land you probably promised to share the crops

i'm going to

you cant do that it's government property

did his majesty approve?

i sent a report but there wasnt a reply

i'll let them cultivate the land until an order prohibiting it is given

you could be seen as a tratior for using public funds recklessly

do they look like tratiors?

i couldnt sleep the night before a battle

soldiers dying one by one

people being slaughtered at the islands that the wae army stayed on

i suffered because i couldnt protect them

i wasnt going to accept there refugees

but they raised me up

look at those children

this land might be covered with corpses and drenched with blood now

but we have to raise our country up again so they can sing songs of an abundant harvest

if the country has no site of livelihood we have to create a site of livelihood

if we lost public sentiments we have to make it a better place to live

and win back public sentiments

dont avoid it with death

we have to raise this country up and win back public sentiments

until then we dont even deserve to die

we have to pay before we die

i wrote this last night because i thought you might need it

you should hurry back

Jaejosanha: Recreate the country
