Although Li Yuanyin comforted him, Hu Maozhen was still very angry and returned to his camp angrily.
His camp is a three-entry mansion, which was originally the residence of a famous gentry in Jinan City.
It is close to Daming Lake and has excellent scenery.
After Hu Maozhen followed him into the city, he drove the gentry's family out, while the gentry's maids, wives and daughters stayed behind.
Hu Maozhen and his five hundred soldiers now live in this mansion.
As soon as he came back, Hu Maozhen ordered people to serve wine, and while drinking, he cursed, "I'm so angry, Li Chengdong is a piece of shit.
He and I were brothers at first, but out of loyalty, I followed him to rebel against the imperial court and join the Qing Dynasty.
Now he is the leader of the Qing Dynasty."
After marrying the prince, high-ranking officials became arrogant when they had to do their job.
But I am still a general soldier, and I don’t even have a title.
I look at him every day and let him beat and scold me.”
The soldiers waiting on the side looked at each other and did not dare to speak.
They just poured wine for Hu Maozhen.
Hu Maozhen's depression was felt by his own soldiers, who were also demoted generals.
When they were in the Pingnan Army, the status of Hu Maozhen and Li Chengdong was not much different.
During Lu Zhenfei's Northern Expedition, Li Chengdong became the commander-in-chief, and Hu Maozhen was also the deputy general.
Because they were both old subordinates of Gao Jie, their friendship had always been very good, so when Li Chengdong decided to surrender to the Manchus, Hu Maozhen also stood by his side.
But now, Li Chengdong was named the King of Xixia by the Manchu Qing court, and he was a vassal king, but Hu Maozhen was nothing, just a general soldier.
Hu Maozhen's status changed drastically in an instant, which made Hu Maozhen uncomfortable and at the same time deeply jealous.
Why can Li Chengdong be crowned king, but he is nothing?
He has not even received a title, so how much worse is he than Li Chengdong?
He had been feeling uncomfortable for a while, but the insult by Li Chengdong on the city wall today made Hu Maozhen extremely angry.
Li Yuanyin's comfort had no effect at all.
"Oh, it would have been better if we had not surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.
Who would have thought that just how long had passed before the Ming Dynasty suddenly became prosperous again and even invaded Shandong."
Hu Sanli, a close guard general of Hu Maozhen who was drinking with him, said.
Hu Maozhen put down his wine glass: "You think I want to surrender?
Wasn't there anything we could do at that time?
The Ming Dynasty did not use Ping Nanhou, but hired Lu Zhenfei, a scholar, for the Northern Expedition.
The army was attacked by two Qing armies.
If they didn't surrender, there would be total destruction.
The army was in danger of being annihilated, so I was persuaded by Li Chengdong.
Alas, time is also fate."
Hu Maozhen depressedly picked up his wine glass and drank it all.
Although the Qing army was defeated at that time, it still occupied the north, and only two partial divisions were able to defeat Lu Zhenfei's 200,000 Northern Expeditionary Army.
This made Hu Maozhen and many people despair.
At that time, the Southern Ming court actually froze Chen Yue, and even more Makes people indignant.
Li Chengdong, Hu Maozhen and others were originally from Gao Jie's bandit army.
They had no loyalty at all, so they surrendered easily.
But now it seems that the surrender was a bit hasty.
If he had not surrendered, even if most of the army had lost and fled to the south, it would probably have been reused by Qi King Chen Yue, and the future would be very different.
And judging from the current situation, with Chen Yue leading the army, it does not seem to be difficult for the Ming Dynasty to defeat the Qing Dynasty.
Therefore, it would be a lie to say that I have no regrets.
"It would have been better if we had not surrendered to the Qing Dynasty."
Hu Maozhen said the words in his heart unconsciously.

"General, it's actually not too late now."
Hu Sanli regained his energy, looked around, and whispered in Hu Maozhen's ear, "If you, General, have the intention to return to the Ming Dynasty, now is a great opportunity.
If so, we can respond Waihe helped the Ming army capture Jinan City.
Not only can Ming's past sins of surrendering to the Qing be wiped out, but the King of Qi will definitely reward us greatly.
After all, Li Chengdong was the mastermind behind the surrender to the Qing, and you were forced to surrender to the Qing. " "Well" Hu Maozhen looked at Hu Sanli thoughtfully and put down the wine glass in his hand, "It's easy for you to say, but even if I want to surrender, can I feel where the gate of the Ming Army is?
If there is no introduction, the generals of the Ming Army How can you trust me?"
Hu Sanli said: "If General, you insist on returning to the Ming Dynasty, are you afraid that you will not be able to find a way out?
There is a large Ming army outside the city.
As long as you are willing, General, I am willing to do this for you."
"Haha" Hu Maozhen laughed, his smile faded, he pulled out the sword beside him, and put the sharp blade on Hu Sanli's neck, "Tell me, are you carrying me and Ming behind your back?"
The military is colluding.”
Hu Sanli's face suddenly turned pale, his arms were trembling, but he gritted his teeth: "General, what are you doing?
Everything I say is for your own good."
"Hmph, I'll tell you if it's good for me or not.
I'm just asking you if you have met with people from the Ming army, yes or no?"
Hu Maozhen said with a sneer.
In the cold weather, sweat rolled down Hu Sanli's face.
Looking at the murderous look in Hu Maozhen's eyes, he knew that if he didn't tell the truth, the sword would really hit him.
"General, I am a member of the Ming Dynasty, but I also think about you and the future of these three thousand brothers," Hu Sanli said with a smile on his face.
"Oh, for the sake of the future of our brothers, since I'm here, it's your turn to do something like this.
Tell me quickly, where are the people from the Ming army?"
Hu Maozhen asked forcefully.
Hu Sanli was silent for a moment, feeling the sharpness of the sword close to his neck.
Seeing that Hu Maozhen's face became more and more serious, he had to speak out.
Hu Maozhen snorted coldly, waved his hand, and several personal guards left in response.
The sword was taken away from his neck, and Hu Sanli sat down on the ground.
After a moment, he came back to his senses and said desperately, "General, if you kill someone from the Ming army, you will never be able to look back."
Hu Maozhen sneered: "Who said I want to kill him?
Even if I want to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, I have to talk to the people sent by the Ming Dynasty in person, and I want you bitch to pass the message through it."
"Ah" Hu Sanli suddenly opened his mouth.
Under the escort of several Qing soldiers, Shen Lian walked into the hall with a calm expression, and saluted Hu Maozhen with clasped fists, "Shen Lian of the Qianhu of the Jinyi Guards of the Ming Dynasty has met Mr.
Hu."
"Jinyiwei Qianhu, you have such a high status."
Hu Maozhen looked Shen Lian up and down, "Why do I think you look so familiar?"
Shen Lian smiled slightly and said, "I was originally a sergeant in Huai'an Prefecture.
I was recruited by Pingnan Marquis at that time.
As a member of the Enemy Intelligence Department, I joined the Jinyi Guards later.
And Mr.
Hu, you did it not long after I joined the Pingnan Army.
He surrendered to the Marquis, so it was normal for us to meet him at that time."
"Hahaha, we are old acquaintances.
Come on, brother Shen, please take a seat.
Let's have a drink and reminisce about old times."
Hu Maozhen quickly put a smile on his face and took Shen Lian's arm. , invite to the seat.
The expression on his face changed so quickly that Hu Sanli, who was still sitting on the ground, was stunned
