8th Day (Chŏngsa)
Armored soldiers, including Yi Sunbaek and No Hyŏnsu, defiantly insisted
on boarding the ship in the Yongsan River, talking back to Military
Commissioner Chin Ŭlsŏ and others. Ŭlsŏ and others became indignant
and said, “When it concerns matters outside the royal palace, the com-
manding general is in charge.” Then he wanted to try them by court- martial.
His aides, however, said, “Since they are the king’s personal guards, you
had better report them first.” The king heard the report and ordered the
Capital Constabulary to have Sunbaek and the other soldier beaten with a
paddle and then allowed them to get on the ship.9th Day (Muo)
