Hu Mei felt that it was a woman's name when she heard it, but the real person was not a woman, but a brave and invincible battlefield general. He was a general who could write and fight in the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties, and his name was not Hu Mei, but Hu Tingrui. Because he defected to Zhu Yuanzhang, in order to avoid Zhu Yuanzhang's name, he changed his name to Hu Mei.
In the earliest period, this person was not a courtier of Zhu Yuanzhang, but a powerful general under Chen Youyu, the King of Han. Under Chen Youyu's command, he was the governor of Jiangxi Province, guarding longxing, and could be said to be the best among the yipin masters.
When Zhu Yuanzhang led his troops to attack Jiangzhou, he sent people to surrender Hu Mei and promised to become a prince after the event was completed. Because during that period, Zhu Yuanzhang's power was already very large, and Zhu Yuanzhang had already hit the city. After several considerations, and in order to save his life, Hu Mei agreed to the surrender, and in order to gain a little more benefit, Hu Mei sent Zheng Renjie to surrender, and at the same time explained to Zhu Yuanzhang that surrender could but could not disband his troops.
This condition made Zhu Yuanzhang very embarrassed, Hu Mei was Chen Youyu's right-hand man, and he had so many soldiers and horses in his hands, what if it was a fake surrender. Liu Ji knew Zhu Yuanzhang's concerns, so he hinted that Zhu Yuanzhang could write a letter explaining why the soldiers and horses were disbanded, and promised that as long as he was willing to surrender, he would have the position of prince in the future. 3
After reading Zhu Yuanzhang's explanation, Hu Mei also knew that it was impossible not to disband the soldiers and horses, so after consulting with his subordinates, he took the soldiers and horses to surrender. Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy, still let him take up his old post, and let him lead the soldiers and horses.
However, Hu Mei surrendered, which does not mean that his subordinates are also willing, among them Kang Tai and Zhu Zong, who did not surrender, and also rebelled and invaded Hongdu. Later, after Xu Da put down the rebellion, Zhu Yuanzhang read that Kangtai was Hu Mei's nephew and was not ready to kill him, and Zhu Yuanzhang must have also known that if he killed Kangtai, then Hu Mei might not be able to oppose him.
After the establishment of Daming, Hu Mei also successfully became a marquis, but because of it
In the Case of Hu Weiyong, zhu Yuanzhang was greatly humiliated by the fact that the eldest daughter was a noble concubine and his son-in-law was in the harem, so he let him commit suicide and die, and his son-in-law was also sentenced to capital punishment.
