His wife, the empress, was named Jingu, or Godlike Exploit.
The Dragon King agreed, and producing the flaming globes from his casket, placed them on a huge shell and handed them to Isora, who brought the jewels to Jingu, who placed them in her girdle. The empress now prepared her fleet for Corean invasion. Three thousand barges were built and launched, and two old kami with long streaming gray hair and wrinkled faces, were made admirals.
Jingu now set up weapons before the gate of the king in token of her suzerainty and of the peace which had been sworn. The spoils won from the conquered land consisted of eighty ships well laden with gold and precious goods of every kind the country possessed, while eighty noble Coreans were taken as hostages for the faith of the king.
Jingu now issued her final orders, to the following effect: "There must be no plundering. "Despise not a few enemies, and fear not many. "Give mercy to those who yield, but no quarter to the stubborn. "The victors shall be rewarded; deserters shall be punished." Then through her lips the gods spoke again: "The Spirit of Peace will always guide and protect you.
