As the order was delivered, more and more Ottoman soldiers threw away their weapons and surrendered to the Qing army.

The Qing soldiers interspersed deep among the Ottoman soldiers who surrendered and did not resist, and when they encountered the Ottoman soldiers who were still holding weapons, they were all slashed and killed!

Soon, all remaining Ottoman soldiers surrendered to the Qing army.

More than 356,000 Ottoman soldiers surrendered to the Qing army, including Erconi, the commander of the Ottoman army.

"Huh! Are you Erconi in place of Denisserry? Dorgon looked at Erconi as he was escorted to him.

Although Elconi could not understand Dorgon's words because of his language, he did not prevent him from giving Dolgon a flattering smile, praying that he would win Dorgon's favor and spare his life.

Seeing Erconi look so cowardly and shameful, Dorgon smiled contemptuously.

If he hadn't replaced the old fellow Deniseri, the Qing would never have won the Battle of Damascus so quickly, and even if they won in the end, the Qing would have paid many more casualties.

This Erconi is incompetent, but for the sake of such a great 'credit' he has made for the Qing Dynasty, Dolgon decided not to kill him!

Immediately, Dorgon stopped looking at Erconi and rode away.

In this battle, the Qing army ended the nearly ten-year confrontation with the Ottoman Empire, and at this point, the elite of the Ottoman Empire was lost, and there was no longer the strength to continue to confront and contend with the Qing army.

However, although the battle of Damascus was over, the war of the Qing army against the Ottoman Empire was not completely over.

In February of the 27th year of the Ming Dynasty, the Qing army, which won the Battle of Damascus, completely captured the whole of Syria and entered Lebanon and Palestine.

On 10 February, Jerusalem, the center of Palestine, was also captured by Qing forces.

Jerusalem is the holy place of the three religions, and all the Persian soldiers who believe in the true god are full of excitement when they enter Jerusalem, and most of them are Persians from the territory of the former Persian Empire.

The Persians also all believe in the true God, and Jerusalem is also the holy place in their minds, but in the past, Jerusalem was under the control of the Ottoman Empire, and although the Ottoman Empire also believed in the true God, there were many differences in the teachings of the two sides, and they belonged to different true God sects.

However, now that the Ottoman Empire has been defeated, this is the territory of the Qing Dynasty, and they can come to worship whenever they want in the future.

A very bizarre scene, a Persian flag soldier wearing a money rattail hair ornament, wearing a Manchu military uniform, but with a big Chinese character 'Bing' written on his chest, shouted excitedly and knelt on the ground, and kept bowing in the direction of the true sacred mountain.

To say that the history of the Persians is also extremely ancient and glorious, it is a pity that they were first transformed into believers in the true God by the Arabs who created the true God, and now they are transformed by the Manchus, changed the clothes of the Manchus, shaved the tail of the money rat, and were spiritually ruled by the theocracy, ** ruled by the Manchus, and they have already lived up to the glory of the ancient Persian Empire, which seems nondescript.

Compared with the sincerity of the Persian banner, although the Manchus of the Qing army with the Eight Banners also believed in the true God in name, they only rode through the face of the 'holy mountain' with a blank face, and no one knelt down as sincerely as the Persians of the Persian Banner, and even some of the Manchus with the Eight Banners showed obvious disdain on their faces.

It seems that although the Manchus nominally believe in the true God, in fact they are not firm in their hearts at all, and they have no 'respect' for the so-called true God.

Manchu people from the northeast of the Ming Dynasty, cultural thought since childhood is influenced by the culture of the Central Plains of the Ming Dynasty, the most heard is such as Pangu Kaitian, Nuwa created the myth of man, originally nominally believed in the true God for more than 20 years, many Manchu people have actually been affected by the so-called true God, the so-called true God has been quite sincere, once had the momentum of becoming the most faithful believer of the true God.

However, it is a pity that with the spread of the book "Flood Wilderness" in all levels of the Manchu people, all the Manchu people who have seen the "Flood Wilderness" have re-strengthened their belief in Oriental mythology, and the so-called true gods have become inferior gods in their hearts, and Pangu, Nuwa, Sanqing, Jieyin, Zhun Ti and other flood saints are regarded as true 'gods'!

From this, we can also see the charm of the 'flood wilderness', which is worthy of being recognized by the Ming Dynasty as the 'Book of Heaven, the Book of God'! It not only strengthened the belief of the Ming people in oriental mythology, but also strengthened the belief of the Manchu people who moved west to the Middle East and nominally believed in the true god for more than 20 years.

In fact, a long time ago, Zhu Cicheng ordered the translation of "Honghuang" into Manchu, and the secret spread to the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

At this point, even Dorgon had seen it.

With Dolgon's ingenuity, it's not that he can't see the seduction ability of the 'flood famine', but after all, Dolgon is also from the northeast of the Ming Dynasty, and he has been deeply influenced by Chinese culture since he was a child, and he has heard of Oriental mythology since he was a child.

Dolgon not only did not prohibit the spread of the 'flood famine' among the Manchu people, but even helped to spread it to the market all over the Manchu territory, and to this day, at least more than 30% of the Manchu people of all ethnic groups have seen the 'flood famine', including some of the most staunch believers in the true God.

At the beginning, the "Flood Wilderness" was only watched as a pastime book, but the charm of the "Flood Wilderness" was so strong that almost everyone who had read the "Flood Wilderness" gradually became unknown and fascinated, so that under the subtle implication, the affirmation of the Oriental mythological theory in the heart became more and more firm, and it also affected many people's belief in the true God.

This point is too serious, when the elders of the True God Temple found out about this, the impact of the 'Flood Famine' was already too great, it was not that there were no elders who wanted to prohibit the continued circulation of the 'Flood Famine', but there were too many people who had seen it, and Dolgon and other Manchu high-level people did not cooperate, relying on the power of the True God Temple alone, it was impossible to really ban the 'Flood Famine', let alone eliminate the impact of the Flood Famine.

In any case, although the Manchus moved westward to the Middle East for more than 20 years, and nominally believed in the true God for more than 20 years, thanks to Dorgon's 'perseverance' efforts, the Manchus did not really become the most faithful believers in the so-called true God, and they still firmly believed in their understanding of Eastern mythology and culture, which is still commendable.

After the capture of Jerusalem, the Qing army soon captured all of Palestine and soon Jordan.

At the beginning of March of the 27th year of the Ming Dynasty, Dolgon ordered Ao Bai to be the commander-in-chief, commanding 300,000 Qing troops to begin attacking the Ottoman territories in North Africa, striving to bring North Africa into the rule of the Qing Dynasty.

After nearly ten years of confrontation with the Qing army, after the defeat in the Battle of Damascus, more than 600,000 Ottoman elite troops were wiped out, and the Ottoman Empire had no extra strength and could not prevent the Qing army from conquering North Africa.

After more than three months of campaigning, finally by mid-June, the Qing army had completely conquered the whole of North Africa, and the territory of the Manchu Qing Dynasty had been greatly expanded, and now it has exceeded 14 million square kilometers.

On the other hand, the territory of the Ottoman Empire has been directly reduced from nearly 8 million square kilometers to more than 2 million square kilometers now, and the national strength is exhausted, the vitality is greatly damaged, and it has to face the siege of the Manchus, the Tsarist Empire, and the European side from three sides, which is really extremely miserable, and I don't know how long the Ottoman Empire, which has flourished for hundreds of years, can still support.
