Just when the Qing army was thirsty, the Ming army's persuasion came from the foot of the mountain: "Brothers of the Qing army on the mountain, if you don't want to sacrifice your life for Hong Chengchou in vain, you can come down and surrender! Our Ming Dynasty now needs manpower to expand its territory and leave more land for our descendants! Whether it is Han people, Manchus, or Mongolians, as long as we come down and surrender, we will treat everyone equally!"

When Li Guodong was in the north, from the Later Jin army to the Qing army invaded, of course, Li Guodong had done the task of killing prisoners, which was another matter. At that time, the Qing army invaded was a robber, and the master defended himself. Isn’t it necessary to kill robbers? But since Li Guodong went south and the Qing army entered the pass, he has never done anything to kill prisoners since then. He only killed the evildoers and did not kill ordinary soldiers. After all, this was a confrontation between the two armies, not to mention that he needed more people to colonize overseas, so he mainly focused on winning people’s hearts.

Even the news that Dodo was not killed had spread in the north through various newspapers. The Ming Dynasty even published a letter of persuasion written by Dodo to his brother in the newspaper, and also proposed that Li Guodong was willing to give Dorgon generous conditions to surrender, and that he was willing to be Dorgon's daughter Dong'er Gege as a concubine.

Of course, the contents in the newspaper made Dorgon so angry that he vomited blood on the spot and fainted. After he woke up, he cursed his brother. Later, Dorgon fell off his horse in the north and soon Dorgon died.

The dignified Princess Dong'e wanted to be a concubine for a Duke, which of course was a humiliation to Dorgon. However, before Dorgon died, he still entrusted his daughter to Subud. Many people knew very well what the relationship between Subud and the Ming Dynasty? Although Dong'e was a humiliation for someone, Dorgon was better than being tortured by her after falling into Fulin's hands.

From all these things, we can see that the Huai Army said that they would not kill prisoners, so they would definitely not kill them. As long as the Qing army went down the mountain to surrender, the Huai Army would definitely ensure their safety.

The Huai Army had a series of strategies to treat prisoners preferentially. Those who surrendered in the Qing army, as long as the Han people were not Han Eight Banners, could join the Huai Army or go home to farm; those who surrendered in the Eight Banners or Mongols could be sent to colonize overseas. People who colonize overseas also sent back a letter saying that they lived a very wealthy life overseas, killed local people, turned natives into slaves, owned vast land, became big slave owners, and lived a happy and happy life.

The propaganda offensive played an excellent role. The Qing army on the mountain was shaken, and many people were ready to go down the mountain to surrender. After dark, many Qing troops in the green camp went down the mountain to surrender to the Ming army, including many grassroots officers. Even some Eight Banners soldiers also went down the mountain to surrender.

"Sir, our army ran away last night!" Just as dawn the next day, the green camp general Li Yong reported to Hong Chengchou.

Not long after, even Tong Tulai came to report: "Mr. Hong, a lot of our Eight Banners soldiers ran away."

Hong Chengchou was furious and said, "Mr. Tong, you must suppress this matter strictly! Whether it is the Green Camp soldiers or the Eight Banners soldiers, those who dare to surrender down the mountain will be killed without mercy!"

"Zha!" Tong Tulai called Qian and retreated.

At this moment, Goshha came to report: "Sir, sir, it's not good. Minggou went to the foot of the mountain to persuade him to surrender!"

Hong Chengchou walked to the observation deck, picked up his telescope and looked into the distance at the foot of the mountain. He saw a large group of newly surrendered Qing soldiers walking out of the Ming army formation, followed by a large group of Ming army.

Among the surrendered Qing soldiers were Green Camp soldiers wearing zither clothes and Eight Banners soldiers wearing cotton armor. The braids on all the heads had been cut off, and their hats were taken off and their big bald heads were exposed.

The Ming army auxiliary soldiers following the Qing army surrendered soldiers were carrying buckets of clear water. After a while, all the clothes on the Qing army surrendered soldiers were removed. Standing in the open ground, the Ming army auxiliary soldiers lifted the bucket and let the surrendered soldiers take a bath.

The Qing army on the top of the mountain was stunned. Even a drop of water could be used to make brains, but the foot of the mountain was so luxurious that it could bathe the surrendered soldiers!

After taking a shower, the surrendered soldiers changed into clean clothes. The Ming army's auxiliary soldiers brought many tables and stools, which were placed on the open ground that the Qing army could see. Then the Ming army's auxiliary soldiers brought steaming hot porridge and served the surrendered soldiers' bowls. A few big pots were placed on the stove that had just been built, and a steamer was placed on it. After a while, the fragrance of steamed buns floated up the mountain.

The surrendered soldiers drank porridge, ate vegetables, meat and buns, which made the thirsty and hungry Qing army on the mountain red. More people's psychological defenses were completely defeated, and they were ready to surrender down the mountain.

Seeing this, Hong Chengchou shouted in anger: "Don't believe Li Ergou! This thief has many tricks! This is his trick! If you go down the mountain and surrender, they will use you all and kill you! This is Bai Qi!"

But no one believed Hong Chengchou's words. In the minds of the Qing army, it was better to say that Li Guodong was Bai Qi than Bai Qi. Cao Mengde had no habit of killing prisoners. Most of Meng De's Qingzhou soldiers were surrendered Yellow Turban Army. After Cao Mengde's victory in the Battle of Guandu, he still incorporated all Yuan Shao's surrendered troops into his own army?

The newspaper said that overseas immigrants need a large number of people, and this is definitely not a lie. As long as you surrender, you can survive and maybe you can live a good life in the future.

However, the Qing soldiers were afraid of Tong Tulai's supervisory team. Whether it was the Green Camp or the Eight Banners soldiers, as long as they dared to express their dissatisfaction now, they would be killed by Tong Tulai's supervisory team immediately.

Li Guodong saw that the time was almost right and asked someone to send an order: "Use a trencher to launch firewood and turbulent tanks and ignite the fire at the foot of the mountain!"

The Qing army had long-range weapons, and Li Guodong would not let his soldiers approach the foot of the mountain to ignite the fire, so as not to sacrifice in vain. In order to ignite the fire at the foot of the mountain, he made the people strong, tenants and auxiliary soldiers built a large number of trenchers and cut down a large amount of firewood from nearby.

Catalogs were mounted by people. The soldiers loaded the basket of the trenched stones with firewood tied with stones, then pulled the ropes, and the trenched castle threw the firewood to the foot of the mountain.

Soon, mountain of firewood piled up at the foot of the mountain, and then the trencher smashed the turbulent tank and finally fired lit fireballs at the foot of the mountain.

A raging fire ignited at the foot of the mountain, and the fire was smoked and roasted the mountain, making the dry air even more dry and hot. The Qing army on the mountain felt more thirsty and the smoke was so bitter.

Then, Li Guodong asked Cao Bianjiao and Wang Fuchen to come to the foot of the mountain and shouted to the top of the mountain: "We are the Eight Banners Army from Zhili, we are under the command of Prince Wakda. The prince has been killed! The reinforcements will not come."

Hong Chengchou has been relying on the lies that reinforcements are coming to stabilize the morale of the army. Now that the lies have been exposed, the morale of the Qing army on the mountain has dropped to zero.

Li Guodong also asked the Ming army to shout: "If the Qing brothers on the mountain can surrender to the head of the old thief Hong, the soldiers and low-level officers will be promoted to three levels, and the silver will be rewarded with one thousand taels of silver! The senior generals will not blame the mistakes made by the previous ones and retain their original official positions; if they can capture the old thief Hong, the silver will be rewarded with two thousand taels of silver, and the soldiers and low-level officers will be promoted to the fifth level; the senior generals will not only forgive the past, but will be promoted to the next level!"

Tong Tulai said to Hong Chengchou with a sad face: "Master Hong, if this continues, the officials will not be able to control the situation. I am afraid that those Goshhas will be ready to surrender!"

Hong Chengchou also knew that the situation would soon be out of control, so he said, "Mr. Tong, prepare for it. After nightfall, let the brothers break out!"

After Tong Tulai left, Hong Chengchou called another Goshha and whispered to him: "You go to the barbarian camp and say if I surrender, can I spare my life?"

This Goshha took advantage of the unpreparedness of the others and quietly went down the mountain, lit a white flag and walked towards the Ming army camp.
