586【云南事】（第1页）

        刘莽受封过桥伯时，云南终于开战了。                                                                                           黄幺率大同军一万、农兵五千、民夫三万，从川南的乌撒府出兵，直奔云南的沾益州。。。                                                                                           刘新宇、丁家盛率领广西两个师，分别攻打广西府和广南府。                                                                                           沾益州城外。                                                                                           云南伪帝携沐天波，领残兵三千余人，出城数里恭迎黄幺的大驾。                                                                                           翻山越岭的，又多蛇虫鼠蚁，黄幺行军极为缓慢，军医们一路都忙活个不停。                                                                                           "将军，翻过这道山坳，再往前十余里便是州城。"一个魁梧少年说道。                                                                                           黄幺点头道："极好。"                                                                                           少年叫做王凤，先祖是王自如，明初随沐英征讨云南。王自如骁勇异常，日夺三关，夜踏八寨，受命世代镇守玉湖海口。                                                                                           土司沙定洲造反，沐天波的母亲和妻子，因来不及逃跑而自杀。东山王氏，因为拼死抵抗，也被沙定洲灭了满门，只剩王凤这个少年侥幸逃走。                                                                                           历史上，王凤最后投了满清，因征讨吴三桂有功，被康熙封为东山土司，一直延续到民国时期。                                              而今却是投了大同军，还作为带路向导，时刻跟随在黄幺身边。                                                                                           十多岁的少年，身高接近一米八，相貌也英武帅气。而且精通刀枪骑射，还学过家传兵法，特别熟悉云南地形，黄幺一见就特别欣赏。                                                                                           距离州城越来越近，黄幺说道："等收复云南，你可去南京军校学习。你自幼读书，能写会算，又懂武艺和兵法，三年军校读完，至少能从什长做起，稍立军功便可做队长。"                                                                                           "多谢将军提点，"王凤咬牙切齿道，"晚辈别无他求，只想手刃沙定洲，为我东山王氏满门报仇！"                                                                                           黄幺看着远处残破的山村，皱眉说："一路行来，民生凋敝，沐天波已在这里搞得民怨沸腾了。"                                                                                           王凤冷笑讽刺道："沐总府仓皇遁逃，连母亲和妻子都顾不上，自然来不及带走沐家的钱粮。云南沐家，三百年积攒的家业，全都被那沙定洲夺去。他想继续养兵，就得靠劫掠百姓。"                                                                                           大军复行一阵，已能见到欢迎队伍。                                                                                           三千多残兵败将，军容极为糟糕，也就武器装备俱全，精神面貌连大同农兵都不如。                                                                                           云南伪帝和沐天波站在路中，带领几十个官员跪下。                                                                                           黄幺扫了一眼，说道："这二人，押回南京等候发落。其余伪官，随军出征，或许还能用得着。"                                                                                           云南伪帝和沐天波，非常老实听话，只求能苟活一命。                                                                                           他们属于丧家之犬，被沙定洲打得节节败退。如今早已无处可去，能活到今天，全靠大同军在乌撒府策应，导致沙定洲不敢轻易攻来。                                                                                           黄幺又问王凤："这些败军之将，你认得几个"                                                                                           王凤回答："大半都认得。"                                                                                           黄幺说道："那好，暂由你来统领云南残兵，我派几个军官协助你整编部队。"                                                                                           "多谢将军！"王凤大喜。                                                                                           大军移驻沾益州城外，随军官吏，迅速接管州城各衙门。                                                                                           黄幺把云南伪官们叫来，询问更加详细的情况。                                                                                           伪首辅王世德说道："启禀将军，沙定洲窃据昆明，妄称‘总府’。其妻万氏，自称‘主母’。其谋主叫汤嘉宾，是万氏的妹夫，原为临安府生员。沙定洲能够造反占领昆明，皆由汤嘉宾一手谋划。"                                                                                           黄幺问道："云南汉人如何"                                                                                           王世德说道："伪帝贪图享受，支使太监盘剥百姓，云南的士绅豪强，也多有被太监搞得家破人亡。而沙定洲窃据昆明之后，在谋主汤嘉宾的献策下，遍访昆明附近的汉人豪强。本地士绅，多有被沙定洲蒙蔽者，竟将一土司蛮夷视为明主。"                                                                                           黄幺讥讽道："你们在云南僭越称帝，不知收买人心，连一个土司都比不上。"                                                                                           王世德老脸通红，不敢再言语。                                                                                           城外军营。                                                                                           王凤正在大同军官的协助下，整编那三千多残兵败将。                                                                                           他一个十多岁的少年，自知无法被将士认可，于是说道："我姓王，叫王凤，家在晋宁。沙定洲造反杀来，诸位都跟着沐总府逃了，我王家却在铁炉关浴血奋战。王家满门被杀，只剩我这不幸之人。我不是责难各位，只想说我与诸位一样，都跟那沙定洲有血海深仇……"                                                                                           突然，王凤厉声嘶吼："你我皆破家离乡之人，可愿随我杀回昆明报仇"                                                                                           残兵败将们互相看看，都被这话给说动了。不管是军将，还是底层士卒，大都有亲人被杀，或是被沙定洲给夺了家产。                                                                                           "杀回昆明，报仇雪恨！"终于有个小军官喊起来。                                                                                           "杀回昆明，报仇雪恨！"                                                                                           越来越多将士，跟着一起嘶喊，颓丧的士气竟开始高涨。                                                                                           数日之后，大军南下，直奔曲靖府城。                                                                                           曲靖府的守军，是投降沙定洲的汉人势力。眼见大军来袭，也不管沙定洲是不是明主，动作娴熟无比的献城投降。                                                                                           大同军继续南下，至越州卫城，这里的汉人军将，直接出城十里投降。                                                                                           陆凉州城，陆凉卫城，纷纷投降，战事顺利到势如破竹的地步。                                                                                           原因很简单，这些城池的守军全是汉人。要么是地方豪强的部曲，要么是大明留下的卫所兵，战斗力连大同农兵都不如，他们哪还敢负隅顽抗                                                                                           与此同时，刘新宇和丁家盛的两个广西师，一如既往的碰到硬茬子。一个进攻广西府，一个进攻广南府，都是山高林密、土司众多的存在。打胜仗不难，就是打起来麻烦得很。                                                                                           ……                                                                                           昆明。                                                                                           沙定洲收到各处战报，正在举棋不定。                                                                                           他不知该先跟逼近昆明的黄幺打仗，还是留一部分军队死守昆明，暗中派出大军去埋伏两个广西师。因为两个广西师，占领正在攻打的两府之后，下一个目标就是合击沙定洲的老巢蒙自。                                                                                           "总府，大同军不可力敌，当再派使者请降，"汤嘉宾说道，"不让做云南宣慰使也行，咱们献出大半个云南，继续做蒙自土司总该可以吧。"                                                                                           沙定洲焦头烂额道："已经派去了，恐怕大同军不答应。当兵的我清楚，若是接受投降，他们的军功就大打折扣了。"                                                                                           万氏突然开口："依我看，先狠狠打两仗。把那大同军打痛了，他们才晓得利害，才会同意咱们做宣慰使。"                                                                                           汤嘉宾是万氏的妹夫，对这个啥都不懂的大姨姐说："主母不知，大同朝廷乃汉人正朔，大同军也是朝廷天兵。数万大同军，兵分三路而来，咱们就算设计埋伏，也不过能小胜一两场而已。若将三路大同军都击溃，南京的赵皇帝必然震怒，来年派十万、二十万大军出征，咱们的土兵又如何抵挡得住"                                                                                           万氏不屑道："汉人的军队，我又不是没见过，哪里打得过咱们的勇士妹夫莫要自己吓自己。"                                                                                           汤嘉宾欲言又止，面对无知妇人，他都不晓得该怎么解释。                                                                                           更何况，这还是个毒妇。                                                                                           跟小叔子通奸，弄死自己的第二任丈夫。为了情人壮大地盘，又弄死自己跟第一任丈夫的儿子。毫无廉耻，胆大包天，便是赵皇帝她都不放在眼里。                                                                                           三人商量来商量去，也是没有任何办法，只能继续等着各地土司聚兵。                                                                                           左等右等，滇南那些大小土司，全都在放沙定洲的鸽子。有的说自己生病了，有的说出兵钱粮不够，竟然一个兵都没有派来。                                                                                           "总府，不好了，镇雄的汉军造反了！"                                                                                           "什么"                                                                                           沙定洲呆立当场，镇雄府就在昆明的西边，而黄幺已经攻到昆明东边。镇雄府的汉军倒戈，沙定洲就等着被两面夹击吧。                                                                                           愣了好半天，沙定洲勃然大怒："汉人果然不可靠，当初就该把汉人杀光！"                                                                                           汤嘉宾说道："总府，要不咱们逃吧"                                                                                           "还能逃去哪里"沙定洲反问。                                                                                           汤嘉宾说道："蒙自是回不去了，昆明也守不得。沐家三百年积攒的财货，都在咱们手里。咱们带着士兵和财货，索性去投安南国，或者杀去西南把木邦给占了。"                                                                                           木邦就是勐邦，那里已属缅甸境内。                                                                                           木邦首领也是大明册封的土司，明末向朝廷报请袭职，却被云南官吏勒索，拒不发给继任土司的状纸，木邦索性背叛明朝投了东吁。正所谓：官府爱惜一张纸，丢失地方二千里。                                                                                           沙定洲却是个狠人，握拳道："不打一场就逃，那算什么东西我还真就不信了，他大同军真的有三头六臂。既然南方土司不愿出兵，那咱们就自己打，把那姓黄的给打痛了再说！"                                                                                           万氏居然拍手叫好："就是这个道理。汉人都软弱得很，汉兵也不会打仗，大同军肯定打不过我们！"                                                                                           沙定洲拍案说道："点齐兵马，我要亲率大军出征！"                                                                                           汤嘉宾作为谋士，此刻都听傻了。                                                                                           他一言不发退下，连夜带着财货、小妾和儿子，还有十多个心腹随从，翻山越岭投奔越南的北朝去也。                                                                                           猪队友，带不动，谋士只能跑路。
