Destroy the enemy warships!
June 20, Osaki, Tsushima Island
Attack! Attack!
Protect our men!
Fire!
Fire!
Archers! Stop them from landing!
Hold them back! Return fire!
Charge!
Retreat! Retreat!
Secure the defense line and stop
the enemy from advancing further!
June 20, Joseonese Naval Encampment, Osaki
There're over sixty ports
on Tsushima Island.
We must seal all of them off
so they can't make a move.
Go back to Izuhara and request
aid from Kyushu before
they seal off the coastline.
Any word from Izuhara?
Not yet...
Izuhara battle could prove to be the
most important fight in this campaign.
So Sadamori's castle in Izuhara, Tsushima
This is it.
Let's get in there and save the hostages!
I got you covered.
Go get the hostages!
Yes, General!
Let's go!
Don't be afraid! We're Joseonese
soldiers here to get you out!
Joseonese... soldiers?
I must be dreaming!
Lead the hostages safely out of here.
Look for Hanlin scholar Yehjin
among Ming hostages.
Hanlin scholar Yehjin!
Which one of you is Yehjin?
What happens if we can't find
Yehjin and take him back?
This could become a drawn out war.
You must bring Scholar
Yehjin back safely first.
Then we will talk about diplomatic support.
How about you, venerable?
Do you share the same sentiment?
To persuade the Emperor,
we would need Yehjin.
We've got to get Ming to
the negotiation table with us.
We need Ming to declare that
they are with us in this war
at the tri-state conference of Ming,
Joseon and Japan, Your Majesty.
The only way to suppress
Tsushima is to show them
that they will be dealing
with Jo-Ming alliance army
if mainland Japan should enter this war.
But what can we do except
to wait and pray that Hanlin
scholar Yehjin is rescued?
How can you be so nonchalant?
There is no guarantee that
Yehjin will be rescued.
We must find another way
to win over the envoys.
Are you suggesting that we
bribe them like the last time?
Do you think it gives me pleasure
to resort to sordid measures?
I will not resort to bribery.
Make a distinction between diplomacy
and artifice, Minister Huh.
There is no effective way to stop
Mainland Japan's involvement in
our war with Tsushima if Ming doesn't
come to the negotiation table with us.
And that will lead to an all-out-
war between Japan and Joseon.
If you are prepared for it,
I will not oppose.
You can't find Yehjin among the hostages?
Does that mean he is
not on Tsushima Island?
There's a good chance they're holding
him separately in a different cell.
Find the key!
Now!
Anyone in there?
Scholar Yehjin!
Is anyone inside?
Is anyone there?
Scholar Yehjin!
Proceed to the detention facility.
Assist the hostage rescue!
General!
The enemy!
The enemy leader is coming back!
Why is there no key to this lock?
Break down the door.
Yes, sir!
What are you doing?
I'm going to blow up the lock.
Just toss some gunpowder and light it up.
Why are you mixing it with rice?
Do you want all of us
to get blown up, too?
The enemy is coming back!
We must clear out now!
Where Is Hanlin scholar Yehjin?
What's that kid doing now?
I'm reducing the strength of the
gunpowder to destroy the lock only.
Interpreter, tell him to stay away
from the door or he could get hurt.
Down, everyone!
Hanlin scholar Yehjin?
He wants to know what kind of weapon
you used to blow up the lock.
Pardon?
He's wondering about that in this chaos?
Wow, I guess there's another
wacko like you in Ming as well.
Oh, don't translate that.
What is your name?
But you're Hanlin scholar...
Ming Chinese...
But you're speaking Joseonese...
I asked your name.
My name is Jang Youngsil.
Jang Youngsil...
We cannot guarantee your safety
unless we get out of here now, sir.
They couldn't be far.
Go after them!
Yes, sir!
There!
There they come!
Hurry!
Run!
After them!
Our ships!
They're back!
The hostages are coming!
They're back!
Our troops are bringing back the hostages!
They're here!
131 hostages were safely
rescued on June 20, 1419.
Perhaps this was the most valuable
achievement in the military campaign
since inalienable human right to
freedom was returned to those who
were forced to live under slavish
subjection on Tsushima Island.
June 21, Kaneta, So Sadamori's camp
Lord of Tsushima So Sadamori,
disarm and surrender immediately.
He refused to surrender?
What did tell you?
Civility is wasted on these crude pirates.
It's not too late.
We must attack their camp
and wipe them out.
Prudence, General.
We've sealed off the coast,
so they won't last very long.
We can't wait forever.
We have to seize the momentum
and finish them off.
I will not lose my men
fighting unnecessary battles.
Friend or foe, it is the king's
order to minimize casualties.
But there are variable factors here.
They were working on an
alliance with mainland Japan.
We could be hit by the alliance force
waiting around for them to surrender.
Kyushu Chikuzen no kuni
Strike the Joseonese navy from the rear?
We can disable their main force
of 20.000 in a single blow.
And without their main force they will
be nothing more then a paper tiger.
If we can convince the shogunate
of Kyoto and rally support from across
Japan with you at the heart of the fight,
Japan can conquer Joseon.
An all out war between Joseon and Japan...
Tsushima Island is the location
utmost strategic importance, sir.
We must stop Kyushu from
aiding Tsushima, Your Majesty.
I am not asking you to get involved.
Just give me the order
and I will take care of it.
I will not attempt to win over the envoys.
Your Majesty...
I will attack them instead.
Attack them?
What is this?
It's a banquet, as you can see.
We want you
to put your guards down and
enjoy yourselves today.
Is this your attempt to soften us up?
I thought we'd have a drink before
we start the fight, but I guess not.
The fight? What do you mean?
You intend to suppress us by force?
Is that how it is in Ming?
Brute strength is the only means
of suppressing your opponent.
Is that what you think?
May I serve you a drink?
It's my belief that only inferior men
use force to suppress his opponents.
What do you think?
You are the ones who want to
fight the envoys of Great Ming.
So get to the point and tell us
how you wish to fight.
First we have a question.
You represent Ming, hence you are Ming.
May the Royal court of
Joseon accept that as true.
That goes without saying.
We've come in the name of the Emperor,
hence we are to be treated as Great Ming.
Then let us test the national
strength of Great Ming.
A poetry writing competition
against the envoys?
Who will go up against the envoys?
Prince Hyoryeong and
Prince Kyoungnyeong?
Assistant Section Chief of the
Ministry of Military, Jeong Inji.
Third rank director of the Bureau of
Diplomatic Correspondence Shin Jang.
You think these men, not Princes of
Joseon or your highest scholars but
these ordinary government officials,
can beat us in a poetry match?
There's only one way to find out.
If they lose this match, we
will not provide any diplomatic support to
Joseon even if Yehjin returns safely.
And if they win?
That will never happen.
And I will make certain
never to forget this insult.
First rhyme will be "Nong" and "Gong".
Let us begin.
Do you believe they can beat the envoys?
Haishou might be a corrupted official
but he passed the civil service exam
to get to where he is.
Are you aware of the high standards
of Ming civil service exams?
Yes, I am.
And Envoy Huang Yan is supposed to be
the best-read imperial eunuch in Ming.
Then this ought to be an exciting match.
What is the matter with you fellows?
Just do your normal best.
You shouldn't have picked us.
We are not good enough.
You should be sitting
out there instead, sir.
My hands are shaking so
hard I can't do anything.
No, you two are the right men for this.
But sir?
You placed first in Joseon's
national civil service exam.
You would've placed first as well
had you not forgotten your name.
Joseon may be a country smaller
in size compared to Ming, but His
Majesty believes that our scholars
are more gifted and knowledgeable
than any other place on earth.
What if our scholars lose?
I don't know. I was so focused on my
own fight that I didn't think that far.
Your own fight?
Who are you going to fight?
Now let's go and win.
Are you trying to intimidate
me with this demonstration?
May I take this as declaration
of war against Kyushu?
Joseon is a benevolent state and
will never show aggression first.
But I felt the need to show
you what would happen
to your soldiers if they should cross
the ocean and attempt to hurt us.
I am at a loss to be intimidated this way
when Kyushu has made no official
declaration of aggression toward Joseon.
That sounds to me like you're saying
you could declare it unofficially.
I need your signature on official
diplomatic document that Kyushu will
not give military support to Tsushima.
I am merely an emissary.
Decisions are not mine to make.
Are you refusing to sign?
Yes, I am.
I told him Ming's threat
would be the best card to play...
Now that we've picked a fight
with the Ming envoys as well,
we could lose not one but both hands...
"Geum" and "Shim"!
Let us try "Twae" and "Lae" this time.
"Chung" and "Jung".
"Poong" and "Goong"!
Um, we have a little time left,
so I wonder if we write another
poem while you're finishing off,
would we win this match?
Did I say something wrong?
We don't have a choice.
We have to sit at the negotiation table
with the Joseonese and Japanese.
We have to back Joseon up.
We refuse to accept your help.
You do not deserve to
represent Great Ming.
What?
Greatness of a state is
not measured by the size of the land
or strength of the military.
Level of education and depth
of virtue defines greatness.
Would you relay this
message to the Emperor.
Tell him that it is not a good idea to
send men of average literary talent
to Joseon as his envoys.
And please add that men who
ignore the welfare of his countrymen
cannot me made to represent his country.
It was your responsibility to come
forward to help us before we asked
not for us but to save the
life of Ming scholar Yehjin.
But you sought to bargain
with us with his life.
What were you after?
Were you trying to extort money from
Joseon for your own personal gain?
Or were you trying to avoid
friction between Ming and Japan?
We will send Scholar Yehjin back
to Ming as soon as he is rescued.
So please return to Ming now.
Secretary Yun.
Are you certain you don't need
Mings support?
To contend with mainland Japan...
The Royal retainers of this court believe
that the King of Joseon is a wise
and clever leader who can protect
his kingdom without foreign aid.
Please go back to Kyushu now, emissary.
And you will be the last Kyushuan
to ever set foot on Joseon.
I don't understand.
From this day forward,
Kyushu is our enemy.
Your Majesty...
Audaciously, you are weighing
Joseon against Tsushima.
You would join hands with
Tsushima anytime and strike Joseon
if you determined Tsushima
has a chance of victory.
Isn't that correct?
The shogunate could not have already
replied. On what bases do you...
You ignored my courtesy using
the shogunate as an excuse.
That in itself is undeniable proof!
Minister Huh.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Terminate friendly relations
with Kyushu immediately.
Do not accept tributes of any kind,
and stop all trades and exchange as well.
Minister Byun!
Yes, Your Majesty.
I want all cultural support
to Kyushu halted immediately.
This is unmerited, Your Majesty!
I intend to do everything I can
to isolate Kyushu diplomatically.
If the shogunate attempts to aid you,
we will take steps to stop them as well.
I'm quite anxious to find out if the
shogunate will risk diplomatic
severance with superior state Joseon
to help Kyushu and Tsushima.
Have a safe trip back home, emissary.
Forgive me, Your Majesty...
I assure you, Kyushu has no
intent to go up against Joseon.
If my master is pondering such idea,
I will dissuade him whatever it takes.
So please call off the diplomatic isolation.
Deliver my message to Lord Minamoto.
Forgiveness can be granted only once.
Do not make the same mistake twice.
He certainly has a different style,
but the King is quite graceful in the
way he attends to state affairs.
I heard Kyoungnyeong had a hand
in our success with the Ming envoys.
He was merely following the
King's orders, Your Highness.
He doesn't deserve much credit.
The King has the poise to put the Royal
House to work for him without being wary.
I think he is ready to govern
the kingdom alone without you.
I see you're still as nosy as
always about government affairs.
I will be able to stop being nosy once
you turn over the control of the military
to the King and retire
completely from state affairs.
Your Highness, won't you see him
if only for a moment and give him
a few words of comfort?
Get back in the line.
I'm told His Majesty has been
spending his nights at the Hall
of Worthies every night since
the fleet set sail to Tsushima.
Emissary from Kyushu has
been successfully suppressed.
so haven't we passed a big hurtle?
There is a bigger fight left...
Joseon King's forceful response leaves us
no choice but to give up the alliance
with Tsushima.
Kyushu has denied our
request for military support?
Perhaps we should consider surrendering.
We did not start this fight
to give up this easily.
But we're isolated and
the coastline has been sealed off.
Soon we will run out of food supply.
Then we will take the
enemy's food supply!
Where is their supply base?
June 29, Joseonese Navy Supply Base
These watchmen are a bunch of slackers.
Who is their commander?
Let's drink!
But sir, His Majesty gave us this wine
to celebrate our victory when we have
the enemy's official surrender.
This war is as good as won.
The Japanese are trapped and we
haven't heard a peep from them.
But...
Besides no one will notice a
few bottles of wine missing.
Let's drink!
Cheers!
Attack! Attack!
Attack! Destroy the enemy!
Bastards!
June 29, 1419,
1st year of Sejong's reign...
A Joseonese regiment led by Park Sil
was under threat of total destruction
after a forceful attack
from Japanese pirates.
June 20, Osaki, Tsushima Island
Attack! Attack!

Joseon King's forceful response leaves us
no choice but to give up the alliance
with Tsushima.
Kyushu has denied our
request for military support?
Perhaps we should consider surrendering.
We did not start this fight
to give up this easily.
But we're isolated and
the coastline has been sealed off.
Soon we will run out of food supply.
Then we will take the
enemy's food supply!
Where is their supply base?
June 29, Joseonese Navy Supply Base
These watchmen are a bunch of slackers.
Who is their commander?
Let's drink!
But sir, His Majesty gave us this wine
to celebrate our victory when we have
the enemy's official surrender.
This war is as good as won.
The Japanese are trapped and we
haven't heard a peep from them.
But...
Besides no one will notice a
few bottles of wine missing.
Let's drink!
Cheers!
Attack! Attack!
Attack! Destroy the enemy!
Bastards!
June 29, 1419,
1st year of Sejong's reign...
A Joseonese regiment led by Park Sil
was under threat of total destruction
after a forceful attack
from Japanese pirates.
