When Jin Liangyu and Wang Dayu heard this, their faces turned pale and they felt a little stupid!
The two of them definitely have the ability to communicate with others, otherwise, they would not be able to become one of the eight Shanxi merchants.
However, their communication, negotiation, etc. are all about business and price with others, and they are talking about business matters. After so many years, they can talk freely no matter what the situation is.
However, it is completely different at this moment. Their status is not at the same level as the group of wolves and tigers in the hall. It can even be said that their lives depend entirely on these fierce and evil people in the hall.
One sentence.
When they came in, they saw the people in the palace staring at them. They looked like people who wanted to eat people. They definitely couldn't be a good thing, and they were the kind of people who wanted to punish others.
In such a situation, Jin Liangyu and Wang Dayu still have the calmness when discussing business with people, but they first think about denying it, and they can't admit it, right?
As a result, despite this denial, these vicious people sat back and watched and said that they were the ones who did it. The key is that they don’t know anything. Isn’t this unfair?
You high-minded Prince Baelor, are you still being reasonable?
For a moment, Jin Liangyu and Wang Dayu didn't know what to say, as if whatever they said was wrong!
Fortunately, Dorgon waved his hand to stop the anger of Duoduo and Hauge. Then he stared at them and asked coldly: "I ask a question, and you guys answer. There must be no deception, otherwise it will be a thousand swords."
The fate of being dead!"
Prince Rui is better, he is reasonable! When Jin Liangyu and Wang Dayu heard this, they were immediately overjoyed, kowtowed quickly, and responded repeatedly, sure to answer truthfully.
Daishan and others stopped talking and listened as Dorgon began to ask questions.
"I want to know how your family was confiscated and exterminated by the Ming Dynasty court, and why did you arise?"
When Jin Liangyu and Wang Dayu heard this, they were both stunned for a moment. They didn't understand why they asked about the past things, which happened when they were in the customs.
However, under the gaze of many princes, Baelor, the two of them did not dare not to answer. They quickly answered truthfully, and the other one nodded in agreement or added a few words.
Dorgon listened attentively. After listening, he suddenly asked: "So, you don't know where the truth was exposed, so that all eight of you were arrested by the Ming Dynasty court?"
There must be many people who know about such a big thing. However, Jin Liangyu and Wang Dayu were also puzzled. There was no sign at all in advance. Whether it was in Jin or in the capital, there was really no news at all.
At this time, listening to Dorgon's question and thinking of answering truthfully, they both nodded and acknowledged this.
After Dorgon listened, he continued to ask: "Then why do you say that your family has been confiscated and exterminated by the Ming Dynasty court? Is this true?"
After hearing this, Jin Liangyu and Wang Dayu looked at each other again, feeling a little embarrassed.
The four of them were able to escape to Liaodong because they heard the news and made a decisive decision to escape quickly. Otherwise, they would have been caught by the court together with the other four people.
In this way, if you say that your family in Guan was indeed confiscated and exterminated by the imperial court, it seems that you cannot confirm it. After all, you fled in a hurry at that time, so you might hide and confirm this first.
However, they vaguely felt that it would be inappropriate to answer this way. These slave chiefs are unreasonable. What if they are offended? After all, when they first fled to Liaodong, they swore that,
They have been confiscated and exterminated by the imperial court!
To be honest, they were a little hesitant about this question.
Seeing their hesitation, Dorgon suddenly sneered, raised his voice a little, and asked: "Tell me the truth, were your family members killed or just imprisoned?"
Jin Liangyu and Wang Dayu were both shocked by his sudden change of attitude. In their eyes, these slave chiefs were more reasonable than Prince Rui in front of them. If they offended him, they might be skinned by these barbarians.
of.
Thinking like this, Jin Liangyu quickly kowtowed and replied: "The villain doesn't know, the slave doesn't know. I was in such a hurry to escape that I can't confirm it!"
"I don't dare to hide it from your highnesses. I really don't know if my family has been confiscated and exterminated!" Wang Dayu also echoed, and even added, "How about I secretly enter the customs and confirm the situation at home?"
Hearing the answers from the two of them, Duduo beside him became angry and shouted: "Then why have you always said that your family was confiscated and exterminated by the Ming Dynasty court?"
"..." Jin Liangyu and Wang Dayu were stunned when they heard this. Are they saying that they lied?
Seeing this, Hauge also shouted angrily: "Did you hear that? Did you hear that? They still want to go back. Are they going to receive the reward?"
"Okay, it's really them who did it!" Azig also shouted angrily, "Behead these two bright dogs alive!"
Jin Liangyu and Wang Dayu were really frightened when they saw their cannibalistic looks and heard what they said. They almost pissed themselves off. They panicked and quickly kowtowed and denied, "It was because their homes were confiscated and their clans were exterminated."
, must have been confiscated and exterminated..."
They have felt that the key to the matter lies in whether the family has been confiscated and the entire clan has been exterminated.
They could see that these slave chiefs really cared about whether their families were confiscated and exterminated by the imperial court. In this case, they naturally chose to answer the question of confiscation and extermination again.
Anyway, they themselves felt that, with a high probability, their homes would be confiscated and their entire clan would be exterminated. After all, after all the things they had done, and the imperial court going to such great lengths to catch them, it would be impossible to let them go.
If it were normal times, maybe Dorgon and other more careful people among the Jianlu would think about the problem from the perspective of Jin Liangyu and Wang Dayu. They might feel that their words and deeds are inconsistent, which is understandable and cannot be theirs.
It is the basis for spies in the Ming Dynasty.
However, at this moment, Turge, Kong Youde and others who escaped back used facts to prove that the battle of Jizhou was a trap. The Ming Dynasty had already mobilized its troops and generals, prepared everything, and was waiting for the Qing army.
Entering customs.
Judging from these signs, the most reasonable explanation is that someone tipped off the Ming Dynasty and also knew that the first battle after the Qing army entered the customs would be the Battle of Jizhou.
As for now, the people who may know the news are these eight Shanxi merchants.
In this way, Jin Liangyu and Wang Dayu were already under suspicion before they spoke. In this way, if any of their unreasonable answers to questions would be magnified with a magnifying glass, and the suspect's face would be magnified.
Think about it from an angle.
The saying that people who scare people will scare them to death is actually the same truth.
Even if it is a normal thing, if you think about it in this way, Jin Liangyu and Wang Dayu will be scared to death!
At this time, Dorgon heard that Jin Liangyu and Wang Dayu changed their words again, and he sneered and asked: "So, you will not admit that you are following the orders of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty to encourage the Qing army to enter the pass.
And then you set up an ambush?"
Hearing this, Jin Liangyu and Wang Dayu immediately understood that the Qing army was defeated and they were looking for someone to take the blame?
For such a big crime, the two of them would not dare to admit it even if they were beaten to death!
So, they immediately started shouting injustice again.
However, the prejudice in people's hearts is like a big mountain. Dodo, Hauge and others naturally hate Mingren. After hearing this, how can they have the patience? If one goes up, he kicks him, and the other one grabs his clothes.
The leader started slapping him.
"Pa bang..."
"Ah... have mercy on... help..."
The sound of beatings and crying suddenly filled the hall. Hong Chengchou was so frightened for no reason that he almost shrank into a ball.
Dorgon waited for a while, then waved his hand and ordered: "Drag them out to wait for His Majesty to deal with them!"
The man in a yellow mantle standing next to him immediately stepped forward and dragged Jin Liangyu and Wang Dayu, who were covered in blood, out of the hall.
After the hall became quiet, Dorgon said to Daishan confidently: "This can explain the Battle of Jizhou. Also, it is impossible for the entire Ming army to wear very strong armor.
. They must have mobilized all their armor and given the armor to the Ming Army soldiers at the front. As for the Ming Army soldiers at the back, it is definitely not the case. This is probably the case!"
After finishing speaking, he turned to look at Turge, Kong Youde and others and asked: "Does this king's analysis make sense?"
At this time, Turge, Kong Youde and others did not dare to persist.
Turge didn't say anything, but as far as Kong Youde was concerned, he did see that most of the Ming army soldiers in front were fine under the cover of bows and arrows. During hand-to-hand combat, the opponent's armor was indeed not afraid of swords and guns. However, those at the back
Is the Ming army the same? I really don’t dare to talk nonsense!
Seeing Kong Youde and others nodding, Dorgon confidently analyzed the people in the hall: "After the Battle of Songjin, the Ming Dynasty court used the families of these Shanxi merchants as threats to encourage the Qing army to invade.
Guan Guan wanted to defeat our Qing army. To this end, he used the strength of the Ming Dynasty to mobilize the national army, such as the Baigan Army, which was not in the Gyeonggi area. Also, he gathered the armor of a line of Ming army soldiers.
It makes sense to go all out and make a lot of preparations to win this battle."
Upon hearing this, Prince Baylor of Jianlu in the palace felt that this statement was the most reasonable. For example, Duduo and Dorgon had the best relationship, and they immediately praised Dorgon's wisdom!
There was only one person who actually still had some doubts in his mind. This person was Kong Youde.
The biggest point of Dorgon's conclusion is that it can reasonably explain why the Ming Dynasty knew that the Qing army had entered the pass and laid out an ambush in Jizhou.
However, Kong Youde also knew that there was another reason that could actually explain this, and that was the appearance of Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty.
However, this possibility was too mysterious, and he did not dare to say it in public.
Therefore, everyone in the hall unanimously agreed with Dorgon's reasoning and respectfully requested the Holy Inquisitor to let Huang Taiji come to a conclusion on the whole matter!
