Chapter 725: Clues

According to Jiang Lang's instructions, Yue Qi immediately transferred 500 troops that day and sailed towards Yakushima in four battleships. Of course, these 500 people were just regular combat troops, and the Navy's people were close to a thousand.

More than a thousand people drove towards Yakushima in a vast way. The journey was calm and after a few days of sailing, they finally arrived at Yakushima.

Even the heavy warships had not had a very deep draft now. Soon everyone found a place where they could land, and then transported all the soldiers to the shore with the small boats on the ship, but this was a waste of time.

Yue Qi finally got off the warship. After getting off the warship, the adjutant immediately said: "General, something happened?"

Yue Qi frowned. Something happened as soon as he got off the boat? So he asked, "What's the matter?"

The adjutant pointed to the front and said, "Someone blocked our way, it was some local people!"

"How did this happen?"

Yue Qi couldn't help but be surprised and walked forward. Sure enough, not far away, a large number of people were really waiting for battle. Their posture seemed to be fighting, but the weapons in their hands were just homemade bows, arrows, hoes, etc. Compared with the weapons of the Ming Dynasty, they were simply primitive tribes.

However, in this situation, they looked like they were ready to die, as if they were waiting for the enemy.

Yue Qi raised his hand and said, "Everyone is alert, go and ask me at the same time, what's going on?"

In fact, Yue Qi knew what was going on. These people should have regarded themselves and others as bad people, and the bad people who appeared here according to the information should be the group of unknown people.

A soldier similar to an interpreter walked up at this time and shouted loudly: "Please put down your weapons. We are the army of the court and come to wipe out the bandits!"

However, the people did not intend to put down their weapons at all, but instead paid more attention to Yue Qi and others, completely looking like a war was over.

The soldier turned his head helplessly to look at Yue Qi.

Yue Qi pointed his hand and said, "I'm talking about it, we are the regular army of the court. I am General Yue Qi and Yue. I came to investigate the incident of military robbery here some time ago. Let their village chief come over and speak!"

The soldier once again reposted Yue Qi's words, and the opposite side caused some riots. After a while, an old man slowly walked out at this time, looking righteous, as if a martyr really planned to be executed generously.

Yue Qi couldn't help but shake his head. He just asked you to come over and talk. He didn't want your nickname, so why bother to look like that!

But the other party actually came, which means that things have turned around.

After the old man came over, he said, "I'm here, you can just say anything!"

The soldier conveyed his words immediately.

When Yue Qi heard this, he smiled slightly and said, "It seems that you have some misunderstandings about us and recognized us as those people who had been in the past for a short time. It was because we received the information that we rushed over. We are all regular troops under the court, not those people!"

The soldier translated Yue Qi's words. After the old man said a few times, the soldier continued: "The old man said he was the village chief of the village and asked us how we could prove that we were the regular army of the court?"

It is not easy to prove that you are the regular army of the court. Yue Qi pointed to the warships behind him and said, "Does those who attacked you have any of us know about warships like this? Our warships are naval warships, and there are only ones in the world. If the attackers of you are also such warships, it means that it is an attack by our internal soldiers on you. According to Lord Wang's order, all of these soldiers will be executed to prove military law. If not, then someone pretends that our people have attacked you, with the purpose of creating riots and then arousing your dissatisfaction with the court, thereby destroying the current peaceful situation!"

Yue Qi said it a while, which made it difficult for the translator to express his feelings. After slowly translating Yue Qi's meaning, he waited for the old man to speak.

Now the old man seemed to be thinking. After thinking about it for a while, he said a few words. The soldier immediately translated: "Sir, he said that the people who came last time were not driving such boats, but some boats smaller than these, and even fired cannons into the village and smashed several houses!"

"Smashed?"

Yue Qi keenly noticed the words in the soldier's mouth and asked again: "Are you talking about broken?"

The soldier nodded and said, "Yes, sir, that's what he said!"

After confirming, Yue Qi immediately said, "So, can you find the things that smashed their house?"

Yue Qi's words were filled with a hint of urgency, and the soldiers also felt it and immediately asked Yue Qi's question to the village chief.

Yue Qi also stared at the village chief.

I saw that the village chief thought about it carefully before nodding and said a few words.

The soldier immediately reposted: "Sir, he said he was still there, because they were some iron balls, so they did not move either!"

"very good!"

Yue Qi couldn't help but clapped his hands and said, "Tell them, bring this thing for us so that we can know who did it!"

You should know that the shells fired by the Ming artillery will explode, but the shells fired by the attacking people only smashed a big hole in other people's houses. This means that the shells fired by these people will not explode. You should know that the shells fired by the Ming Navy were eliminated very early.

The village chief was also obedient and soon someone took out the iron balls and placed them on the ground.

Yue Qi squatted down and looked at the iron balls carefully. It was indeed some shells, but solid shells. In terms of caliber, they should not belong to any kind of artillery shells with a caliber. Moreover, shells with this caliber should be used by Komu Army artillery. In the past, in order to understand Komu Army more, there was great research on the cannons of Komu Army, and this caliber should be the caliber of Komu Army artillery.

Seeing this, Yue Qi suddenly felt relieved. He was not from his Ming Dynasty, so he would be more likely to do it. Of course, there was no need to have any psychological burden.

"Sir, what are these?"

The soldier next to him asked at this time.

"The shells of Komu Army warship!"

Yue Qi immediately said, stood up straight, and said, "Now it is basically certain that the one who attacked this village should be the remaining naval troops of the Komu Army. It seems that their lives are very difficult. They have fallen to the point of robbing their compatriots! Well, let me tell them, the navy troops that attacked them were the former ones, not our Ming army!"

The soldier immediately reposted Yue Qi's words. The old village chief was obviously very surprised, with a hint of at a loss on his face. He never expected that the one who attacked his village was the soldiers from the past. In short, these people who used to protect their homes, but now they have become the gumu army that robbed his own food.

But no matter how shocked it was, the village chief was a little at a loss when encountering such a thing.

Compared to his at a loss, Yue Qi seemed much calmer and said to the soldiers: "Ask him when they came the last time, how many people were there when they came, probably from the sea, which is very important for us to attack them!"

The soldier also realized the seriousness of the problem and immediately asked according to Yue Qi's words. After thinking carefully, the old man said a few words and pointed to the east.

Of course, this information is very important. Yue Qi really regrets why he doesn't know how to speak these people. When asking this question, there is no need to wait for the soldiers to ask and then tell him.

However, in this situation, I can only wait for the soldier to ask questions and tell him. This time, it requires a lot of patience.

After the soldier asked, he immediately said, "Sir, I have asked clearly. The village chief said that the last time they came here was five days ago, and they robbed some of their food and injured some people. They came from the east!"

"East?"

Yue Qi underestimated that this information alone was obviously not enough, but it seems that the old man only knew this and couldn't ask anything. Fortunately, there were other spies on the island, at least they knew a little bit. They came from the east, and the most important thing before, they should have islands, otherwise they would not be able to stay on the sea for such a long time by relying on their abilities.

Yue Qi also turned around at this time, walked towards the warship, and ordered: "Everyone got on the boat!"

The soldier was suddenly at a loss, and the adjutant next to him said wonderingly: "Sir, why aren't you here anymore?"

Yue Qi nodded and said, "If I were the Komu Army, I would never be interested in a village that could not squeeze out any oil and water! So my target should be some other coastal villages, so even if we leave an army here, it would be meaningless. So we should focus our targets on those coastal villages that may be attacked! Immediately I will find out if there are any other villages near the seaside around here, and that have not been attacked yet!"

The adjutant nodded immediately and said, "Back on the ship immediately, we will leave here immediately!"

The soldiers immediately turned around and began an orderly retreat.
