Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:49,409 --> 00:00:54,577
Admiral! Admiral!
2
00:00:56,350 --> 00:00:58,485
What is it?
3
00:00:58,701 --> 00:01:02,430
Several dozen Japanese ships
were spotted off the coast of
4
00:01:02,633 --> 00:01:05,408
Danghang-po terrorizing the
civilians!
5
00:01:05,409 --> 00:01:07,283
Alert the soldiers at once!
6
00:01:07,284 --> 00:01:08,658
Admiral!
7
00:01:09,826 --> 00:01:15,559
Have you already forgotten
Commander Yu Jung's orders?
8
00:01:16,117 --> 00:01:20,516
Do you think you will survive if
you defy the Emperor's command?
9
00:01:21,451 --> 00:01:25,115
What are you waiting for?
Alert the soldiers at once!
10
00:01:25,326 --> 00:01:28,741
We will sail out to Danghang-po
and crush the enemy!
11
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:30,450
Yes, Admiral!
12
00:01:30,571 --> 00:01:32,207
Yes, Admiral!
13
00:01:35,159 --> 00:01:36,241
Admiral!
14
00:01:43,492 --> 00:01:47,658
I'm giving you one last chance.
15
00:01:49,159 --> 00:01:54,325
You will not live if you
defy the Emperor's command.
16
00:01:55,739 --> 00:01:58,943
Return to your base immediately.
17
00:01:59,201 --> 00:02:02,673
If you attempt to stop the
Chosunese Navy from doing its job,
18
00:02:04,167 --> 00:02:07,263
I could get you out of the way first.
19
00:02:09,492 --> 00:02:16,692
You will regret this!
20
00:02:22,492 --> 00:02:23,968
Let's go!
21
00:02:40,994 --> 00:02:43,038
Be seated.
22
00:02:48,117 --> 00:02:52,351
I'm sure you've been informed about
the enemy fleet that is moving west.
23
00:02:53,242 --> 00:02:54,796
Commander Yi...
24
00:02:54,992 --> 00:02:55,991
Yes, Admiral!
25
00:02:55,992 --> 00:02:57,618
Magistrate Uh...
26
00:02:57,793 --> 00:02:59,450
Yes, sir.
27
00:02:59,576 --> 00:03:01,866
I want Kwang-yang and
Bang-dap divisions
28
00:03:01,867 --> 00:03:03,960
to seal off Kyunneryang
immediately.
29
00:03:04,367 --> 00:03:06,033
Yes, sir!
30
00:03:06,909 --> 00:03:08,200
Constable Kim...
31
00:03:08,274 --> 00:03:09,658
Yes, sir.
32
00:03:09,659 --> 00:03:13,507
Send reconnaissance out to
Danghang-po and Jinhae once more.
33
00:03:13,784 --> 00:03:17,821
We need an accurate count
of the enemy vessels.
34
00:03:18,034 --> 00:03:20,116
You got it, sir!
35
00:03:21,742 --> 00:03:24,489
Are we going to take
hostile action?
36
00:03:24,742 --> 00:03:26,658
We must.
37
00:03:27,701 --> 00:03:30,783
But the order from
Yu Jung of Ming...
38
00:03:30,784 --> 00:03:35,658
Are we to obey an order that
tells us not to fight the enemy?
39
00:03:39,743 --> 00:03:43,741
I have no intention
of obeying the order.
40
00:03:45,992 --> 00:03:51,991
On March, 1594, Yi Soon-shin
made a decision to attack
41
00:03:51,992 --> 00:03:55,274
the enemy that was
attempting to move west.
42
00:03:55,534 --> 00:04:02,185
It had been exactly one year after
his eighteenth battle in Ung-po.
43
00:04:04,326 --> 00:04:08,616
The Japanese army that began to
to move south in April, 1593,
44
00:04:08,617 --> 00:04:10,866
completed their withdrawal to
45
00:04:10,867 --> 00:04:14,042
Kyung-sang Province in June
the same year.
46
00:04:14,401 --> 00:04:19,575
Thereafter, they built a wall around
Pusan Harbor and prepared for a
47
00:04:19,576 --> 00:04:23,397
prolonged stay receiving supplies
and reinforcements from Japan.
48
00:04:23,784 --> 00:04:29,866
By this time, as many as 900 Japanese
ships were positioned around Pusan.
49
00:04:31,034 --> 00:04:35,991
Yi Soon-shin positioned his navy
against the Japanese Navy at
50
00:04:36,115 --> 00:04:41,314
Hansando with Kyunneryang
straits sealed off.
51
00:04:42,792 --> 00:04:46,908
Ming allies led by Yu Jung and
Cho Seung-hoon as well as the
52
00:04:46,909 --> 00:04:50,277
government and citizen armies of
Chosun were keeping the Japanese
53
00:04:50,278 --> 00:04:56,686
checked on land at Tae-gu,
Eui-ryung and Sunsan.
54
00:05:04,159 --> 00:05:08,491
But the Ming leaders who was in
command of the Cho-Ming allied
55
00:05:08,492 --> 00:05:12,322
forces at the time strongly
suppressed Chosun's aggression
56
00:05:12,323 --> 00:05:14,702
against the Japanese invaders.
57
00:05:16,659 --> 00:05:22,797
This was because all that the Ming
leaders wanted was to negotiate
58
00:05:22,992 --> 00:05:27,378
peace and end the war since they
had already succeeded in keeping
59
00:05:27,954 --> 00:05:31,950
the war out of their territory.
60
00:05:38,742 --> 00:05:42,164
Knowing this, the Japanese invaders
manipulated the half-hearted
61
00:05:42,165 --> 00:05:45,928
Ming leaders and continued their
violent acts against Chosun.
62
00:05:54,617 --> 00:05:57,533
Commander, over there?
63
00:06:01,326 --> 00:06:06,700
Those miserable, pathetic,
worthless bastards!
64
00:06:12,506 --> 00:06:16,129
It wouldn't satisfy me to cut them
into pieces and pickle them in salt!
65
00:06:16,437 --> 00:06:19,533
If I could just get
my hands on them!
66
00:06:20,660 --> 00:06:22,866
Move it, move it!
67
00:06:28,201 --> 00:06:31,192
General, it's the enemy
reconnaissance vessel!
68
00:06:37,909 --> 00:06:41,440
Don't mind them.
Just continue your work.
69
00:06:41,576 --> 00:06:45,158
But if they should
attack us with cannons...
70
00:06:46,659 --> 00:06:49,700
Ming is Chosun's mother country.
71
00:06:49,836 --> 00:06:55,368
That means the Ming generals
are their leaders in this war.
72
00:06:56,654 --> 00:07:07,477
How could they dare attack us when
their leaders have forbid them?
73
00:07:10,489 --> 00:07:16,848
They can kick and scream,
but they can't touch us.
74
00:07:23,326 --> 00:07:30,792
I want to feed those
octopus heads to the dogs!
75
00:07:31,701 --> 00:07:37,877
I want to take their ship apart
and bum them piece by piece!
76
00:07:37,986 --> 00:07:39,491
Commander...
77
00:07:39,576 --> 00:07:45,346
Yes, you can fart louder when you
hold it back and let it out at once.
78
00:07:45,534 --> 00:07:48,741
Turn the ship around!
Return to the headquarters!
79
00:07:48,742 --> 00:07:50,285
Yes, sir!
80
00:07:50,451 --> 00:07:58,155
Turn the ship around!
Return to the headquarters!
81
00:08:01,576 --> 00:08:05,182
Yi Soon-shin is preparing
to attack the Japanese?
82
00:08:10,909 --> 00:08:13,241
A lowly warrior of Chosun is
attempting to defy
83
00:08:13,242 --> 00:08:15,664
the Ming Emperor's command?
84
00:08:16,784 --> 00:08:19,616
And you couldn't stop him?
85
00:08:20,326 --> 00:08:24,426
He threatened to
make my life, and I...
86
00:08:24,568 --> 00:08:29,091
What? How dare he!
87
00:08:29,451 --> 00:08:31,286
Arrest Yi Soon-shin at once!
88
00:08:31,451 --> 00:08:35,650
I will make him pay for defying
the Emperor's command!
89
00:08:38,742 --> 00:08:42,325
What are you waiting for?
Arrest him at once!
90
00:08:42,659 --> 00:08:48,068
I'm certain he will
put up a fight, sir.
91
00:08:53,701 --> 00:08:55,178
Let us begin.
92
00:08:59,275 --> 00:09:04,866
According to reconnaissance, total
of 31 enemy ships have moved west.
93
00:09:06,534 --> 00:09:12,878
They are currently touched at
Danghang-po, Jinhae and Juh-do...
94
00:09:13,576 --> 00:09:21,598
twenty-one in Danghang-po, seven
in Jinhae and three in Juh-do.
95
00:09:22,741 --> 00:09:26,241
We will divide our fleet
into three large groups:
96
00:09:26,379 --> 00:09:29,200
a group to attack the enemy in
Dang-po and Jinhae,
97
00:09:29,201 --> 00:09:32,471
a group to seal off Kyunneryang
and defend the headquarters,
98
00:09:32,617 --> 00:09:38,412
and a group on standby to deal
with a possible counterattack.
99
00:09:41,951 --> 00:09:45,908
High commanders Yi and Won,
reorganize the fleet and
100
00:09:46,015 --> 00:09:48,576
work out the details of
this operation.
101
00:09:48,867 --> 00:09:50,545
Yes, sir.
102
00:09:51,496 --> 00:09:53,158
And Constable Won...
103
00:09:53,265 --> 00:09:54,283
Yes, Admiral.
104
00:09:54,284 --> 00:09:56,502
Did you send the message
to the ground forces?
105
00:09:56,701 --> 00:10:01,792
Yes, sir. They've been instructed
to stamp out the enemy attempting
106
00:10:01,951 --> 00:10:06,449
to flee by land once we
hit Danghang-po and Jinhae.
107
00:10:08,076 --> 00:10:12,616
We will launch tomorrow,
4th of March, at 05:00 hour.
108
00:10:13,617 --> 00:10:20,411
Inspect your ships, weapons and
your crew, and prepare for battle.
109
00:10:20,576 --> 00:10:22,606
Yes, Admiral!
110
00:10:28,867 --> 00:10:31,116
Fine, you may go.
111
00:10:31,451 --> 00:10:34,366
We launch tomorrow at five o'clock
in the morning,
112
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:36,158
so if I could get a definite answer...
113
00:10:36,159 --> 00:10:41,543
I said you may go.
114
00:10:57,284 --> 00:11:02,713
Come tomorrow, these arrows will
pierce through the enemy soldiers!
115
00:11:07,486 --> 00:11:10,098
Hustle, guys!
116
00:11:11,776 --> 00:11:14,491
Can't you move faster?
117
00:12:10,826 --> 00:12:12,700
Inspect everything thoroughly.
118
00:12:12,701 --> 00:12:13,950
Yes, sir!
119
00:12:34,659 --> 00:12:37,938
These are emergency medical
supplies for injuries that
120
00:12:37,939 --> 00:12:39,791
might occur during the battle.
121
00:12:43,951 --> 00:12:45,450
Thank you.
122
00:12:46,701 --> 00:12:48,158
Take it.
123
00:12:52,108 --> 00:12:55,533
Couldn't you bring that
when we're not around?
124
00:12:56,898 --> 00:13:00,950
I get anxious every
time I see that stuff...
125
00:13:02,867 --> 00:13:07,318
Oh dear, I'm sorry.
I didn't think that far...
126
00:13:08,512 --> 00:13:13,818
Hey! She carried that heavy
sack all the way here with
127
00:13:13,819 --> 00:13:16,905
those fragile hands for us.
128
00:13:17,117 --> 00:13:22,737
You shouldn't be complaining.
You should be thanking the lady!
129
00:13:22,992 --> 00:13:24,648
Give him some slack.
130
00:13:24,826 --> 00:13:28,783
He's nervous because we haven't
been in a battle in a while.
131
00:13:32,201 --> 00:13:42,407
Well, that's true. I guess
we're all kind of nervous...
132
00:13:48,617 --> 00:13:50,491
Lady Chung-hyang...
133
00:13:51,169 --> 00:14:01,791
would it be too much if I asked
you to hold my hand just once?
134
00:14:04,367 --> 00:14:11,450
It would give me so much strength
out there on the battlefield...
135
00:14:13,701 --> 00:14:15,616
Of course not.
136
00:14:17,451 --> 00:14:20,941
These hands will defend our
country against the enemy.
137
00:14:20,942 --> 00:14:22,937
It's my honor to
hold your hands.
138
00:14:25,367 --> 00:14:26,533
Wait!
139
00:14:27,784 --> 00:14:29,991
Then you have to
hold my hands too.
140
00:14:32,826 --> 00:14:34,203
Come back safe.
141
00:14:34,451 --> 00:14:36,825
Hey! Sang-nam,
you can't do that!
142
00:14:36,826 --> 00:14:41,658
- It's my turn!
- No, it s my turn!
143
00:15:08,367 --> 00:15:10,779
Did you meet with the
special military inspector?
144
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:12,366
Yeah...
145
00:15:13,241 --> 00:15:19,457
How id it go? Can we count
on the ground forces tomorrow?
146
00:15:21,301 --> 00:15:25,408
Well, to tell you the
truth, I don't know.
147
00:15:25,900 --> 00:15:28,033
What do you mean?
148
00:15:29,284 --> 00:15:31,925
He doesn't have any
special powers either.
149
00:15:32,009 --> 00:15:37,700
He's tiptoeing around the Ming
generals like the rest of them.
150
00:15:39,410 --> 00:15:41,204
Darn...
151
00:15:41,659 --> 00:15:45,075
Why do we have to tiptoe around
the Ming generals
152
00:15:45,168 --> 00:15:48,330
when we're punishing the enemy
that invaded our land?
153
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:53,320
That's what I want to know.
154
00:15:56,784 --> 00:16:00,781
Do you intend to obey the Supreme
Commander and fight in this battle?
155
00:16:02,692 --> 00:16:04,244
Of course.
156
00:16:04,326 --> 00:16:08,741
Sir, Yu Jung sent official memos not
to take hostile action against Japan.
157
00:16:08,742 --> 00:16:12,421
As a result, none of the ground forces
are showing support for this battle.
158
00:16:12,534 --> 00:16:16,502
If we disobey the Ming Minister
and launch our ships...
159
00:16:17,117 --> 00:16:21,210
We haven't had a decent battle for
an entire year because the Japanese
160
00:16:21,211 --> 00:16:26,450
have been hiding in their
headquarters without making a move.
161
00:16:28,411 --> 00:16:35,746
What His Majesty wants more than
anything is a victory report from us.
162
00:16:36,038 --> 00:16:41,241
But sir, can his Majesty break
the will of the Ming generals?
163
00:16:42,613 --> 00:16:44,825
That might prove to be difficult.
164
00:16:45,326 --> 00:16:46,870
Then...
165
00:16:47,034 --> 00:16:49,158
If our defiance causes a problem
166
00:16:49,159 --> 00:16:54,982
and Yu Jung makes a strong
protest to the royal court...
167
00:16:55,291 --> 00:16:59,033
We can deal with that
when that happens.
168
00:17:06,409 --> 00:17:09,366
Sir, it concerns me about Yu Jung.
169
00:17:10,867 --> 00:17:14,491
If General Yi Bin is lukewarm
about this battle,
170
00:17:15,201 --> 00:17:19,075
that means he is afraid of Yu Jung.
171
00:17:22,877 --> 00:17:25,116
If we go ahead with this battle,
172
00:17:25,576 --> 00:17:31,697
you may have to fight the
Ming leaders as well.
173
00:17:34,918 --> 00:17:37,908
Perhaps you could put it on
hold for now and
174
00:17:37,909 --> 00:17:41,292
discuss it with
Commander-in-chief Kwon Yul.
175
00:17:43,242 --> 00:17:47,658
What if in that time they
retreat to their headquarters?
176
00:17:47,659 --> 00:17:49,283
But sir...
177
00:17:49,819 --> 00:17:55,325
Don't make it complicated.
We must stay true to our principles.
178
00:17:56,034 --> 00:18:00,700
We are warriors of Chosun, and
the safety of our people is
179
00:18:00,701 --> 00:18:02,325
what is most important to us.
180
00:18:03,034 --> 00:18:06,443
The enemy is hurting our
people right before our eyes.
181
00:18:06,909 --> 00:18:10,315
How can we think twice
about going after them?
182
00:18:21,992 --> 00:18:23,616
Launch the fleet!
183
00:18:24,879 --> 00:18:30,866
All sails aloft!
Launch the fleet!
184
00:18:35,409 --> 00:18:44,033
On March 4, 1594, Chosunese Navy
led by Supreme Naval Commander
185
00:18:44,034 --> 00:18:51,033
Yi Soon-shin set sail for the
Second Danghang-po Battle
186
00:18:51,034 --> 00:18:55,841
on Yi's first battle after
assuming his post.
187
00:18:58,278 --> 00:19:06,048
By this time, the Three Provinces
Navy had grown to 124 galleys.
188
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:11,386
Before the battle, Yi Soon-shin
divided his fleet into four groups
189
00:19:11,387 --> 00:19:14,650
and positioned them separately.
190
00:19:16,136 --> 00:19:21,668
He placed 20 ships in Kyunneryang
to defend his headquarters,
191
00:19:21,902 --> 00:19:26,200
and also placed another fleet on
the 4 kilometer space between
192
00:19:26,201 --> 00:19:31,841
Jeung-do and Saweemal to prepare
for a possible counterattack
193
00:19:31,842 --> 00:19:38,960
from the enemy positioned in
Jepo, Ung-po, Angolpo and Gaduk.
194
00:19:39,853 --> 00:19:45,927
He assembled a special assault
fleet taking 10 ships each from
195
00:19:45,928 --> 00:19:50,975
Left Cholla and Right Kyung-sang
navies and 11 ships from the
196
00:19:50,976 --> 00:19:56,023
Right Cholla navy, and ordered
simultaneous attack on
197
00:19:56,024 --> 00:19:59,319
Danghang-po, Oriryang and Jinhae.
198
00:20:00,938 --> 00:20:05,593
Lastly, the remaining galleys,
led by Yi Soon-shin himself,
199
00:20:05,594 --> 00:20:09,091
took position near Juh-do in a
crane-wing formation prepared
200
00:20:09,174 --> 00:20:12,788
to destroy the enemy that
attempt to flee the battle.
201
00:20:25,714 --> 00:20:28,636
It's the enemy! The enemy!
202
00:20:33,309 --> 00:20:35,203
Oh no!
203
00:20:46,723 --> 00:20:49,248
General! General!
204
00:20:52,389 --> 00:20:53,972
What's the commotion?
205
00:20:54,213 --> 00:20:56,305
The Chosunese Navy
has attacked!
206
00:20:56,681 --> 00:20:57,972
What?
207
00:21:10,050 --> 00:21:11,903
Fire!
208
00:21:15,431 --> 00:21:19,071
Wipe out the enemy! Fire!
209
00:21:24,503 --> 00:21:30,387
Fire! Turn them
into mincemeat!
210
00:21:30,473 --> 00:21:36,305
Drive the arrow off
wrath into their skulls!
211
00:21:56,889 --> 00:21:58,972
Destroy the enemy!
212
00:21:59,065 --> 00:22:02,972
Reload the cannons and
continue the attack!
213
00:22:25,598 --> 00:22:31,409
Fire! Don't leave a
single enemy ship afloat!
214
00:22:31,514 --> 00:22:36,263
Fire! Don't send a single
enemy soldier back alive!
215
00:22:43,056 --> 00:22:49,350
Fire!
Wipe out the enemy!
216
00:22:51,639 --> 00:22:56,555
The second Danghang-po Battle
which took place on the
217
00:22:56,556 --> 00:23:01,263
4th and 5th of March, 1594 ended in
another overwhelming victory
218
00:23:01,264 --> 00:23:07,259
for Chosun with 31 Japanese
battleships destroyed.
219
00:23:07,902 --> 00:23:13,043
But only a handful of
Japanese soldiers were killed.
220
00:23:16,348 --> 00:23:19,818
Well aware of the strength of
the Chosunese Navy,
221
00:23:19,819 --> 00:23:24,055
Japanese had abandoned their
ships when the attack began
222
00:23:24,056 --> 00:23:26,053
and fled on foot on land.
223
00:23:29,514 --> 00:23:33,396
We've destroyed 31
enemy ships, but...
224
00:23:33,588 --> 00:23:36,972
We weren't able to go after the
enemy that fled ashore, sir.
225
00:23:37,134 --> 00:23:41,555
Do you mean General Yi Bin
did not come through on land?
226
00:23:41,665 --> 00:23:43,305
No, sir.
227
00:23:43,806 --> 00:23:46,096
I've repeatedly emphasized the
importance
228
00:23:46,097 --> 00:23:49,180
of joint operation
from land and sea!
229
00:23:51,787 --> 00:23:56,385
Move out. We will return
to Hansando Headquarters.
230
00:23:57,056 --> 00:23:58,638
Yes, sir.
231
00:24:00,639 --> 00:24:04,186
Move out. Return
to the headquarters.
232
00:24:07,641 --> 00:24:16,670
Retreat! All ships retreat!
233
00:24:23,431 --> 00:24:26,567
How dare you! What is
the meaning of this!
234
00:24:27,519 --> 00:24:28,972
Take him outside!
235
00:24:30,223 --> 00:24:35,246
How dare you!
Let go of me! Let go!
236
00:24:50,556 --> 00:24:53,371
What is the meaning of this?
237
00:24:53,598 --> 00:24:59,010
It looks like your time is up
in this life, Ambassador Dam.
238
00:24:59,011 --> 00:25:03,442
What? Do you know who I am?
239
00:25:04,014 --> 00:25:08,305
I am His Majesty the Ming
Emperor's messenger Dam Jong-in!
240
00:25:08,391 --> 00:25:12,930
How dare you treat an Imperial
messenger who is here to negotiate
241
00:25:13,031 --> 00:25:15,097
peace for your country!
242
00:25:15,098 --> 00:25:16,763
Shut your mouth!
243
00:25:17,514 --> 00:25:19,097
General Kato...!
244
00:25:19,264 --> 00:25:25,765
Peace? Are you sure what you
want with Japan is peace?
245
00:25:27,598 --> 00:25:33,375
How could you stab us in the
back and have the Chosunese Navy
246
00:25:33,376 --> 00:25:37,766
attack us, if what you
want is peace?
247
00:25:37,889 --> 00:25:40,722
What are you talking about?
248
00:25:40,937 --> 00:25:45,555
Chosunese Navy just destroyed
31 of our battleships!
249
00:25:45,677 --> 00:25:46,930
What?
250
00:25:46,931 --> 00:25:49,680
This peace talk is over!
251
00:25:50,056 --> 00:25:54,037
I will cut off you head right now
and send it back to the Ming camp,
252
00:25:54,038 --> 00:25:59,871
and request reinforcements
from Japan!
253
00:26:00,639 --> 00:26:04,135
What are you waiting for?
Kill him!
254
00:26:05,972 --> 00:26:07,222
Stop!
255
00:26:13,090 --> 00:26:15,347
What is the meaning
of this, General Kato?
256
00:26:16,211 --> 00:26:19,513
Stay out of this, General Konishi.
257
00:26:21,501 --> 00:26:24,605
What do you seek to accomplish
by killing the Ming envoy?
258
00:26:24,764 --> 00:26:27,276
I never liked this whole
idea of peace negotiations
259
00:26:27,277 --> 00:26:29,771
that you've been pitching
from the very start!
260
00:26:30,764 --> 00:26:34,430
This is what His Eminence
the Taiko wants.
261
00:26:34,587 --> 00:26:37,847
Do you think I don't know
about your little games?
262
00:26:38,556 --> 00:26:44,847
An eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth...
I'm just getting started with this one.
263
00:26:45,389 --> 00:26:51,472
And won't stop until every Ming and
Chosunese bastards are wiped out!
264
00:26:52,431 --> 00:26:59,347
If I stripped Yi Soon-shin of his rank...
would that appease you, General?
265
00:27:01,031 --> 00:27:08,091
I understand your rage, but what
could you benefit by acting this way?
266
00:27:09,217 --> 00:27:13,005
Like General Konishi said,
if is your Taiko that decided
267
00:27:13,006 --> 00:27:15,013
to pursue this negotiation.
268
00:27:16,014 --> 00:27:21,513
What could you gain by defying him
and killing a diplomatic envoy?
269
00:27:23,789 --> 00:27:27,879
Leave this matter to me.
270
00:27:28,431 --> 00:27:32,585
I will bring Yi Soon-shin down
from the rank of
271
00:27:32,586 --> 00:27:36,347
Supreme Naval Commander.
272
00:27:38,702 --> 00:27:41,138
I give you my word.
Would that satisfy you?
273
00:27:45,348 --> 00:27:47,555
Do you think Kato knows about
274
00:27:48,272 --> 00:27:53,403
us fabricating the Taiko's
capitulatory letter?
275
00:27:54,330 --> 00:28:01,763
No one knows about that other than
the three of us in this room.
276
00:28:04,002 --> 00:28:07,515
Meanwhile, in the Japanese camps
277
00:28:07,516 --> 00:28:11,079
a tale of great fraud and
deception was unfolding...
278
00:28:11,488 --> 00:28:16,746
the fabrication of Hideyoshi's
capitulation letter to Ming.
279
00:28:18,090 --> 00:28:23,947
One year earlier, Shim Yu-kyung
went back to Ming with Hideyoshi's
280
00:28:23,948 --> 00:28:28,430
demand for an Imperial Princess of
Ming and cession of Chosun's
281
00:28:28,431 --> 00:28:31,555
four provinces as
conditions for peace.
282
00:28:31,659 --> 00:28:36,164
But Shim Yu-kyung had to have
known that they were
283
00:28:36,165 --> 00:28:42,039
outrageous demands that the Ming
government would never accept.
284
00:28:42,323 --> 00:28:46,770
He would falsely present to his
court that Japan's only conditions
285
00:28:46,771 --> 00:28:51,552
for peace are permission to pay
tributes and acknowledgment of
286
00:28:51,553 --> 00:28:54,331
Hideyoshi as a sovereign king.
287
00:28:54,723 --> 00:28:58,555
But Ming court flat out rejected
the deal demanding a
288
00:28:58,556 --> 00:29:02,388
written acknowledgment of
capitulation from Japan.
289
00:29:03,098 --> 00:29:07,781
There was no way that Hideyoshi,
who still held on to the dreams
290
00:29:07,965 --> 00:29:12,922
of Ming Conquest, would submit
to this request.
291
00:29:13,306 --> 00:29:17,972
So Konishi and Shim Yu-kyung
would have a false letter of
292
00:29:17,973 --> 00:29:20,513
capitulation fabricated by Genzo.
293
00:29:21,718 --> 00:29:26,157
Once I deliver the letter of
capitulation, my government will
294
00:29:26,341 --> 00:29:32,722
not only acknowledge your leader
as a sovereign king but perhaps
295
00:29:32,851 --> 00:29:36,930
agree to cede a part of Chosun
to Japan as well.
296
00:29:38,098 --> 00:29:42,097
It is very important that we keep
the Chosunese army quiet until then.
297
00:29:42,630 --> 00:29:48,471
If they should provoke Kato and
Wakizakas aggressive nature,
298
00:29:48,472 --> 00:29:51,305
they could sabotage everything.
299
00:29:57,209 --> 00:30:00,722
How about this?
300
00:30:03,056 --> 00:30:05,138
An official edict?
301
00:30:06,038 --> 00:30:07,805
Yes, Ambassador Dam.
302
00:30:08,383 --> 00:30:10,919
If the Chosunese forces do not
stop their aggression, I cannot
303
00:30:11,264 --> 00:30:14,675
guarantee that what happened
today won't happen again.
304
00:30:15,598 --> 00:30:21,309
The Japanese warriors are
quite aggressive by nature.
305
00:30:21,973 --> 00:30:29,595
And peace will never be
reached between Ming and Japan.
306
00:30:31,223 --> 00:30:32,680
Shim Yu-kyung?
307
00:30:33,723 --> 00:30:37,055
That's why an official
edict is necessary.
308
00:30:38,056 --> 00:30:42,638
The imperial emissary's edict
cannot be ignored by anyone,
309
00:30:42,639 --> 00:30:44,680
not even the King.
310
00:30:45,223 --> 00:30:48,013
Yi Soon-shin will not be able
to act in haste
311
00:30:48,014 --> 00:30:51,583
once this order is delivered.
312
00:31:03,889 --> 00:31:06,472
After Yi Soon-shin's attack on
Danghang-po,
313
00:31:06,473 --> 00:31:10,910
Ming ambassador Dam Jong-in who
was conducting peace negotiations
314
00:31:10,911 --> 00:31:16,430
in the Japanese camp,
issued an outrageous order to Yi
315
00:31:16,431 --> 00:31:23,972
forbidding him from taking further
military action against Japan.
316
00:31:45,556 --> 00:31:52,083
You have accomplished a great deal
last March between 4th and 5th.
317
00:31:54,848 --> 00:31:59,013
Distinguished services
deserves great praise,
318
00:31:59,153 --> 00:32:02,858
but how do we praise an offender
who defied the Emperor's command?
319
00:32:03,139 --> 00:32:05,180
It's a shame.
320
00:32:07,490 --> 00:32:12,773
On top of that, you've placed a high
official of Ming in a terrible situation.
321
00:32:13,223 --> 00:32:16,055
How will you redress your offenses?
322
00:32:17,246 --> 00:32:20,430
It leaves me speechless
to hear you say
323
00:32:20,608 --> 00:32:23,263
that it is an offense
to have fought the enemy.
324
00:32:24,473 --> 00:32:29,314
I'm sure you've received
Ambassador Dam's order.
325
00:32:29,889 --> 00:32:31,555
I have.
326
00:32:32,318 --> 00:32:37,013
Be aware that the ambassador
speaks not only for himself
327
00:32:37,014 --> 00:32:41,557
but for the great Ming army
and the Emperor as well.
328
00:32:43,723 --> 00:32:46,972
High officials of Ming are in
the process of negotiating
329
00:32:46,973 --> 00:32:49,118
peace for your country.
330
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:53,324
So stop your aggressions
toward the Japanese at once.
331
00:32:53,325 --> 00:32:58,263
Then I will overlook
your last blunder.
332
00:32:59,549 --> 00:33:01,180
That's impossible.
333
00:33:02,098 --> 00:33:03,388
Admiral Yi!
334
00:33:04,014 --> 00:33:07,138
Peace offer that accompanies
not one word of apology for their
335
00:33:07,242 --> 00:33:08,930
past offenses is unacceptable.
336
00:33:09,395 --> 00:33:15,055
If they want peace, the instigator
of this war, Hideyoshi of Japan,
337
00:33:15,261 --> 00:33:18,675
must first apologize for his
crimes against our people.
338
00:33:20,636 --> 00:33:25,767
The fact is they
do not want peace.
339
00:33:26,473 --> 00:33:27,972
Admiral...
340
00:33:27,973 --> 00:33:32,669
How do I know? Because the
Japanese forces have not stopped
341
00:33:32,744 --> 00:33:35,906
their acts of violent against
the people of Chosun.
342
00:33:35,907 --> 00:33:39,304
In fact, they have become
more violent than ever.
343
00:33:39,305 --> 00:33:43,138
Am I to believe that these are
acts of those who want peace?
344
00:33:43,806 --> 00:33:47,013
A Ming Ambassador is staying
in the Japanese base in Pusan.
345
00:33:47,014 --> 00:33:49,722
Do you have no regard
for his safety?
346
00:33:50,186 --> 00:33:54,472
Do not attack them again
without our permission.
347
00:33:54,889 --> 00:33:58,180
The Japanese invasion force must
first stop all of their military
348
00:33:58,181 --> 00:34:00,722
activities and move their troops
out of Chosun, General.
349
00:34:00,875 --> 00:34:03,138
I am Minister Yu Jung
of Great Ming!
350
00:34:03,253 --> 00:34:06,430
I am in command of the
Chosun-Ming allied forces!
351
00:34:07,264 --> 00:34:12,347
The burden of saving Chosun is
on us, the soldiers of Chosun.
352
00:34:14,419 --> 00:34:17,966
You dare continue to fight me?
353
00:34:18,431 --> 00:34:21,262
Do you think you will
get away with this?
354
00:34:26,014 --> 00:34:29,699
What do you mean you didn't get a
definite answer from Yi Soon-shin?
355
00:34:31,226 --> 00:34:33,505
This is truly frustrating.
356
00:34:33,989 --> 00:34:36,825
Why is it so difficult to suppress
357
00:34:36,826 --> 00:34:39,696
a single military officer of a
subordinate country?
358
00:34:40,438 --> 00:34:43,742
There is no reasoning with him.
359
00:34:44,285 --> 00:34:48,307
So are you going to let
him do whatever he wants?
360
00:34:51,306 --> 00:34:53,430
If the Chosunese do not put
down their arms,
361
00:34:53,605 --> 00:34:58,921
this peace negotiation will never
reach a settlement.
362
00:35:00,348 --> 00:35:03,912
But don't you have the capitulation
letter from the Taiko of Japan?
363
00:35:05,889 --> 00:35:07,222
Yes, we do.
364
00:35:07,848 --> 00:35:12,972
Then the Emperor will grant
them sovereign state status,
365
00:35:13,598 --> 00:35:16,472
so have the Japanese troops
pulled out instead.
366
00:35:16,473 --> 00:35:18,430
That will never happen.
367
00:35:19,014 --> 00:35:24,319
Japan is intent on keeping at least
the three southern provinces
368
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:27,475
of Chosun under its control.
369
00:35:28,014 --> 00:35:34,510
So it's only fitting that
they maintain their presence.
370
00:35:36,679 --> 00:35:39,975
All we have to do is to
stop the Japanese
371
00:35:40,751 --> 00:35:45,132
from invading the borders of Ming.
372
00:35:45,382 --> 00:35:48,763
What happens to Chosun
is not our business.
373
00:35:52,819 --> 00:35:58,486
But if Chosun doesn't cooperate
the Japanese will be provoked.
374
00:35:59,930 --> 00:36:05,796
The military force of Japan is
much stronger than you think.
375
00:36:08,389 --> 00:36:15,868
Are you going to take the
blame if they rise up again,
376
00:36:16,335 --> 00:36:19,680
expand the battle line and
invade the borders of Ming?
377
00:36:24,139 --> 00:36:26,888
Make an example of Yi Soon-shin
378
00:36:27,392 --> 00:36:30,195
even if you must involve the
royal court of Chosun.
379
00:36:30,306 --> 00:36:35,586
Then the Chosunese warriors
will be suppressed.
380
00:36:51,306 --> 00:36:58,430
Meanwhile, King Sonjo had finally
returned to the capital city.
381
00:37:01,889 --> 00:37:06,437
He had been drifting for two ears
from Gaesung to Pyong-yang to Uiju
382
00:37:06,438 --> 00:37:10,427
to Hae-ju after fleeing the capital
20 days after the outbreak of war.
383
00:37:11,178 --> 00:37:14,097
Yu Sung-ryong who, in one day,
was appointed and dismissed from
384
00:37:14,098 --> 00:37:18,305
the seat of the Prime Minister
in the beginning of the war,
385
00:37:18,514 --> 00:37:22,013
was reappointed Prime Minister
upon return to the capital.
386
00:37:22,014 --> 00:37:25,806
As the leader of the Privy Council
and Military Affairs Council,
387
00:37:25,807 --> 00:37:28,776
he was working hard to restore
order in the war-torn country.
388
00:37:29,452 --> 00:37:33,138
Commander Yu Jung is telling
me to punish Yi Soon-shin
389
00:37:33,139 --> 00:37:36,254
for attacking the Japanese.
390
00:37:39,223 --> 00:37:46,448
He is threatening to pull his
troops out to Liaodong otherwise...
391
00:37:53,032 --> 00:37:54,263
Left Minister...
392
00:37:55,327 --> 00:37:57,855
Yes, Your Majesty.
393
00:37:58,732 --> 00:38:03,097
What happens if I allow the Ming
forces to withdraw their troops?
394
00:38:03,556 --> 00:38:09,540
Can we defeat the Japanese on our
own without the help of Ming?
395
00:38:11,092 --> 00:38:13,888
It would be a difficult
ask, Your Majesty.
396
00:38:13,889 --> 00:38:20,052
There're over 800 enemy vessels
positioned around Pusan.
397
00:38:20,053 --> 00:38:23,347
That means they have tens
of thousands of soldiers.
398
00:38:23,348 --> 00:38:28,388
And it is the Ming army that holds
them back from advancing north.
399
00:38:28,389 --> 00:38:30,097
Without them...
400
00:38:30,193 --> 00:38:35,055
Then must I forsake Yi Soon-shin?
401
00:38:35,056 --> 00:38:38,388
No, Your Majesty.
402
00:38:38,546 --> 00:38:44,121
There is no one who can lead the navy
more effectively than Yi Soon-shin.
403
00:38:44,514 --> 00:38:49,186
More importantly, he is the
enemy's most feared warrior.
404
00:38:50,473 --> 00:38:53,222
For this reason, the morale of
the soldiers remain high and the
405
00:38:53,223 --> 00:38:57,430
people nearby are earning their
livelihood in the midst of war.
406
00:38:57,523 --> 00:39:02,496
If you submit to Ming pressure
and pull him out from the front,
407
00:39:02,598 --> 00:39:09,866
there will be fierce protests
of the people and
408
00:39:10,066 --> 00:39:12,553
the soldiery against the royal court.
409
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:18,055
I can't let them withdraw their troops,
and I can't forsake Yi Soon-shin.
410
00:39:18,837 --> 00:39:20,680
Then what am I to do?
411
00:39:21,382 --> 00:39:25,513
Solutions, I want solutions to
get us out of this dilemma!
412
00:39:49,306 --> 00:39:56,938
Commander Yu Jung sent me an
angry letter asking me how a lowly
413
00:39:57,430 --> 00:40:03,430
warrior could show more pride and
arrogance before him than the King.
414
00:40:06,092 --> 00:40:11,597
A warrior who is more poised
and self-assured than the King...
415
00:40:11,848 --> 00:40:13,472
Your Majesty...
416
00:40:16,457 --> 00:40:24,226
He can be self-confident because
the heart of the people is with him.
417
00:40:27,739 --> 00:40:31,347
How can I bring him own with
my own hands
418
00:40:31,852 --> 00:40:35,250
when the people
trust and depend on him?
419
00:40:42,181 --> 00:40:46,389
Crown Prince, I want
you to meet Yu Jung.
420
00:40:47,431 --> 00:40:51,222
Persuade him with the
authority of a sovereign.
421
00:40:51,387 --> 00:40:54,638
Protect Yi Soon-shin
with your own hands.
422
00:40:56,210 --> 00:40:57,722
Father...
423
00:40:59,740 --> 00:41:04,730
You've led the court for the
past two years
424
00:41:04,973 --> 00:41:09,937
and proven yourself
worthy of the throne.
425
00:41:12,448 --> 00:41:17,546
I no longer have the
strength to lead Chosun.
426
00:41:18,856 --> 00:41:23,097
Soon I will hand over the
scepter to you and retire.
427
00:41:23,973 --> 00:41:29,881
Father, I beg you to
withdraw your command.
428
00:41:30,607 --> 00:41:39,854
No, no. Yi Soon-shin is no longer
my subject. He is your subject.
429
00:41:40,639 --> 00:41:44,555
And you must protect him
with passion and devotion.
430
00:41:46,421 --> 00:41:52,604
You are a man of virtue and
kindness, so I am certain
431
00:41:54,056 --> 00:41:57,888
you will find a way
to save Yi Soon-shin.
432
00:42:01,235 --> 00:42:09,312
Remember, the fate of
Chosun is in your hands.
433
00:42:12,806 --> 00:42:17,222
Will the Crown Prince be able
to change Minister Yu's mind?
434
00:42:17,764 --> 00:42:19,676
Not likely...
435
00:42:19,951 --> 00:42:22,888
Then why would His Majesty
do this?
436
00:42:22,889 --> 00:42:29,923
It's politics. He made the best
move he can make for himself.
437
00:42:31,264 --> 00:42:37,675
If Prince Kwang-hae succeeds in
saving Yi Soon-shin,
438
00:42:37,676 --> 00:42:40,714
authority of the royal house
will be enhanced as a whole,
439
00:42:41,490 --> 00:42:45,103
and if he fails and
Yi Soon-shin is dismissed,
440
00:42:45,511 --> 00:42:53,763
the people will point the finger at
the Crown Prince for his failure.
441
00:42:58,139 --> 00:43:06,692
He uses his own son as a shield
to protect his authority...
442
00:43:14,181 --> 00:43:16,680
At your service,
Your Majesty...
443
00:43:17,973 --> 00:43:21,312
Left Minister, I'd like you to
444
00:43:21,313 --> 00:43:25,055
attend to the military affairs
of Cholla Province for a while.
445
00:43:27,889 --> 00:43:32,805
Stay in Chunju and help the Crown
Prince, and put your effort into
446
00:43:32,806 --> 00:43:36,305
producing competent warriors.
447
00:43:41,482 --> 00:43:46,913
If we only had more men like
Yi Soon-shin,
448
00:43:47,348 --> 00:43:55,584
the royal house of Chosun would not
have to stoop to the Ming Minister.
449
00:43:59,624 --> 00:44:04,473
This would be good for
Yi Soon-shin as well.
450
00:44:05,549 --> 00:44:11,858
I have placed too much burden
on his shoulders for too long.
451
00:44:13,264 --> 00:44:21,446
He needs break.
Don't you agree?
452
00:44:22,198 --> 00:44:25,435
I couldn't agree more,
Your Majesty.
453
00:44:25,652 --> 00:44:32,221
I will do everything in my power
to fulfill your desire.
454
00:44:33,431 --> 00:44:36,035
I am counting on you.
455
00:44:51,098 --> 00:44:57,774
Do you remember the day
His Majesty returned to the capital?
456
00:45:01,473 --> 00:45:10,274
His Majesty didn't expect a
tearful welcome from the people,
457
00:45:10,431 --> 00:45:17,138
but I'm sure he didn't think
the streets would be empty either.
458
00:45:21,223 --> 00:45:29,930
Now imagine Yi Soon-shin coming
through those same gates.
459
00:45:31,348 --> 00:45:34,263
What would the people do?
460
00:45:35,389 --> 00:45:36,888
Brother!
461
00:45:37,973 --> 00:45:42,121
He would receive a welcoming many
times bigger than His Majesty.
462
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:48,638
Hundreds, no thousands of people
would run out after him with
463
00:45:48,898 --> 00:45:54,915
teary eyes calling out his name.
464
00:45:56,556 --> 00:46:02,133
After all, he is a hero
that this war has created.
465
00:46:04,294 --> 00:46:06,981
What are you thinking?
466
00:46:06,982 --> 00:46:10,520
That we should give
Yi Soon-shin political power?
467
00:46:11,789 --> 00:46:14,972
I'm just talking about
heart of the people...
468
00:46:14,973 --> 00:46:16,388
Brother...
469
00:46:19,431 --> 00:46:26,099
Warriors are as simple-minded
as the peasants.
470
00:46:27,431 --> 00:46:30,805
They believe that they can
control the word with the sword.
471
00:46:31,514 --> 00:46:39,133
It is dangerous to give them
control of the government.
472
00:46:43,339 --> 00:46:52,336
But Yi Soon-shin is still useful to us
as long as we are at war...
473
00:47:13,231 --> 00:47:17,888
Your Highness, I am truly ashamed
474
00:47:18,389 --> 00:47:21,972
for placing such a heavy burden
on your shoulders...
475
00:47:24,430 --> 00:47:29,804
It is my duty as the
Crown Prince of Chosun.
476
00:47:43,473 --> 00:47:44,847
Let's go!
477
00:47:54,973 --> 00:47:59,846
The Crown Prince is coming south
to persuade Yu Jung?
478
00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:06,080
Sir, you can't just sit here
and let this play out.
479
00:48:08,625 --> 00:48:13,305
The Prime Minister has implored
you to find a way out of this.
480
00:48:16,764 --> 00:48:21,902
The Crown Prince doesn't
have a chance against Yu Jung.
481
00:48:22,953 --> 00:48:26,347
It is likely you will
lose your command, sir.
482
00:48:40,895 --> 00:48:42,305
Left Minister...
483
00:48:44,358 --> 00:48:46,537
Yes, Your Highness.
484
00:48:46,779 --> 00:48:54,698
What must I do? How do I save
Supreme Commander Yi Soon-shin?
485
00:48:56,801 --> 00:49:05,879
Your Highness, you will not
be able to save Yi Soon-shin.
486
00:49:07,574 --> 00:49:10,243
If you fight the Ming general,
487
00:49:10,244 --> 00:49:15,620
the Emperor will take his iron mace
to the royal house of Chosun.
488
00:49:16,129 --> 00:49:17,614
But, Left Minister...
489
00:49:17,706 --> 00:49:21,388
Your dilemma should not be how
you're going to save Yi Soon-shin
490
00:49:21,654 --> 00:49:26,475
but how you are going to
forsake him.
491
00:49:39,736 --> 00:49:45,303
I have spent two full years opposite
enemy from across the sea.
492
00:49:46,038 --> 00:49:49,643
With the ocean between us, my
purpose and my enemy's purpose
493
00:49:49,644 --> 00:49:52,714
have always been very
clear and simple.
494
00:49:53,682 --> 00:49:59,564
And I had hoped that it would
always remain simple
495
00:49:59,565 --> 00:50:04,956
so that my sword would
never lose its way...
496
00:50:10,806 --> 00:50:14,160
- Fire!
- Fire!
497
00:50:14,244 --> 00:50:19,138
As the war progressed, many swords
have been drawn from their sheaths.
498
00:50:20,237 --> 00:50:22,582
And I had hoped that
each of those swords
499
00:50:22,806 --> 00:50:25,177
would always be
drawn against the enemy.
500
00:50:25,453 --> 00:50:26,394
But...
501
00:50:26,395 --> 00:50:29,566
Lt. Yi, you miserable bastard!
502
00:50:30,985 --> 00:50:32,746
What did you say!
503
00:50:34,340 --> 00:50:36,347
Very well, let us see who wins!
504
00:50:36,348 --> 00:50:43,528
Stop your attacks against Japan.
And I will overlook your offense.
505
00:50:44,279 --> 00:50:46,081
That's impossible.

00:50:46,198 --> 00:50:48,384
I am Yu Jung of Ming!
507
00:50:48,777 --> 00:50:51,513
Even with the enemy
right before our eyes,
508
00:50:51,514 --> 00:50:54,123
many of our swords had
veered from its path.
509
00:50:54,925 --> 00:50:58,271
Putting those swords back
on the right path...
510
00:50:58,396 --> 00:51:03,036
Is that another battle
that I must fight in this war?
511
00:51:27,639 --> 00:51:33,796
A moonlit night on Hansan Isle,
I sit alone in the watch tower.
512
00:51:34,664 --> 00:51:40,388
With a great sword worn on my side,
I fall deep in thought with cares.
513
00:51:41,539 --> 00:51:47,998
A melody of a flute from a distance
rends my heart...
