588【人为财死】（第1页）

        大同军和云南残兵，趁着混乱从城门进入，竟然没有引起守军注意。                                                                                           反而是逃难百姓，看着大兵进城，吓得转身遁入街巷之中。。。                                                                                           赵铭正下令，五十人一组，分散到全城。见到烧杀抢掠者，不必问明身份，直接当场格杀！                                                                                           赵铭正自己带着五十人，王凤也带着五十人，直奔沐家大宅的方向。                                                                                           很快他们就发现一队土兵，举着火把正在砸门。里头住的应该是大户，带着家奴把门堵住，死活不让土兵进去，而土兵不知从哪儿弄来一架梯子打算翻墙。                                                                                           "全部杀光！"赵铭正一声令下。                                                                                           王凤立即拔出腰刀，带着麾下士卒，就朝沙定洲的土兵冲过去。                                                                                           他全家都被沙定洲给砍了，身负深仇大恨，此刻正当是报仇之时。                                                                                           那些土兵，见来了军队，黑暗中看不清楚，还以为来的是自己人。当即用土话大喊："别来抢，这户归我们，你们另去找有钱人！"                                                                                           及至王凤持刀逼近，才有土兵看出不对，刚想要张口示警，一道刀光已经斩过。                                                                                           王凤杀人之后并不停歇，转眼奔至第二个土兵面前。那土兵举矛欲刺，王凤错步格挡，刀口顺着矛杆下压，一刀割断敌人的大拇指。                                              "啊……"                                                                                           土兵刚来得及惨叫，王凤已经提刀前切，又快又准的割破敌人喉咙。                                                                                           没啦，战斗结束。                                                                                           其余的土兵，都被大同军给解决，被突袭之下毫无反抗力。                                                                                           等赵铭正、王凤率军离开，这户人家还没反应过来。主人带着家奴，踩梯子爬到墙头，悄悄观望好一阵，才确信他们是真的安全了。                                                                                           "父亲，来了一伙兵，把土司兵给杀了。杀完人就走，不晓得去了哪里。"墙头的中年人，朝着墙内的老头子喊。                                                                                           老者朝着天上作揖，又双掌合十："阿弥陀佛，老天爷保佑。我叶家世代行善积德，必是祖宗积攒的阴德，打动玉帝派了天兵天将来相救。"                                                                                           这样的战斗，迅速在全城上演。                                                                                           几千土司兵，因抢劫而失去建制，基本都是十多人一伙——人太多反而不美，分赃时难免发生纠纷。                                                                                           五十人一组的大同军，遇到几人、十几人一伙的土司兵，夜间突袭之下，伤亡可以忽略不计。                                                                                           "汉军杀进城了！"                                                                                           终于有些漏网之鱼，跑得飞快没被杀死，大喊大叫着一路狂奔报信。                                                                                           兵撒出去容易，想收回来就难了，更何况这还是在夜里。                                                                                           这种呼喊示警，非但不能让土司兵聚起来抵抗，反而导致土司兵还没遇到敌人就逃跑。                                                                                           沿途的土司兵，听说汉兵杀进城，也不问是哪里的汉军。他们提着大包小包，全是抢来的财货，下意识朝着最近的城门逃去。                                                                                           "援军来了，汉家儿郎，随我杀贼！"                                                                                           一个穿着儒衫的少年，带着几个家奴杀出，竟然有不少破家的百姓，因仇恨而捡起棍棒加入追杀行列。                                                                                           在追杀两条街后，少年身边已聚集上百人。                                                                                           "就在前面，莫让他们跑了！"有家奴大喊。                                                                                           却是几个土司兵，被愤怒百姓追杀，竟然舍不得扔掉财货。                                                                                           如此要钱不要命，很快就被追上，然后被百姓乱棍打死。                                                                                           "我的钱！"                                                                                           "别抢，是我的钱！"                                                                                           刚才还齐心协力的百姓，瞬间就混乱起来，扑过去争抢土司兵死后留下的财物。                                                                                           少年怒斥道："汝等不继续追敌，竟在此自相争抢，对得起死去的亲人吗是好汉的，就跟我杀敌去……杀啊！"                                                                                           少年一阵奔跑，再回头时，身边只剩两个家奴。                                                                                           别说百姓，就连自己的家奴，都有好几个在那儿抢钱。                                                                                           少年气得直跺脚，却又无可奈何，只得带上两个忠心家奴，三人继续往前面追杀土司兵。                                                                                           "好少年，我来助你！"又有一青年跟上，也就二十岁左右。                                                                                           少年边跑边说："在下杨振先，字汝霖。"                                                                                           青年说道："陈佐才，字冀叔。"                                                                                           少年在历史上没留名，估计是死于战乱了。                                                                                           青年却有些名气，初投沐天波，再投李定国。南明小朝廷灭亡后，陈佐才依旧留发蓄须，隐居山中，出门必戴斗笠、骑毛驴，以示跟清朝不共戴天，终身不踩清朝的土地。                                                                                           晚年，陈佐才凿石为棺，死也不埋清朝之地，临死前留下对联："其生明臣其死明鬼，不葬清土不戴清天。"                                                                                           "当当……"                                                                                           "杀……"                                                                                           "啊……"                                                                                           前方街巷，传来打斗厮杀之声。                                                                                           杨振先顿时振奋，加快脚步奔去，举着文士剑喊道："将军莫急，我来助各位一臂之力！"                                                                                           陈佐才也加快脚步。                                                                                           一阵疾跑，终于来到交战地点，这股土司兵已经被杀完了。                                                                                           大同军转身就走，根本不理地上的财货。                                                                                           杨振先非常惊讶，拱手抱拳："诸位留步！诸位挽救昆明无数百姓，更难得不被钱财所惑，请受晚生一拜！"                                                                                           一个军官转身说："你这少年若是有心，便召集人手，把城内的无主之财，明天早上都送去官府。大同军不贪这些钱，会用来救济百姓，善后得用掉不少银子。"                                                                                           "晚生一定把财货送到！"杨振先再次作揖。                                                                                           然后，这些大同军就走了，他们还得到处追杀土司兵。                                                                                           陈佐才望着远去的士卒，不禁叹息道："满地财货，而不取分毫，能练得如此强兵，大同朝廷得天下并非侥幸。"                                                                                           "是啊，"杨振先也感慨道，"不管是大明官军，还是土司之兵，能不抢掠已是军纪森严。眼前这些士卒，竟连无主之财都不拿，此真堂堂正正之王师也！士卒如此，大同朝廷的吏治也可见一斑。明日我就去投效朝廷，冀叔兄要不要一起"                                                                                           陈佐才笑道："同去。"                                                                                           杨振先说道："这里财货十几包，还真不好搬走。咱们便守着，等明日送去大同军中。"                                                                                           陈佐才寻到一个麻袋，鼓鼓的，也不知装的什么。当即坐下，把麻袋当靠背，望着夜空自语："大同军拿下云南，这乱世终究是结束了，也不晓得皇帝何时恢复科举。"                                                                                           杨振先也盘腿坐下："到时咱们一起赴京赶考。"                                                                                           "我家在蒙化，"陈佐才笑道，"兄台何时去大理，可到蒙化来寻我，带你一起游苍山洱海。"                                                                                           ……                                                                                           沐府。                                                                                           沐家的财宝实在太多了，除了黄金白银，还有佛顶石、琥珀等宝物。                                                                                           按史书的说法，沐家财宝都用箱子来装，一个箱子就重达百斤。五十个箱子，用木板围成一库，一共围了二百五十多库。而这些……还只是其中的一部分。                                                                                           沐家门前的道路，都被车驾给堵了。                                                                                           数百最精锐的土司兵，没有参与城中抢劫，他们负责看守这些财宝。还有不少被掳来的民夫，以及沐家留下的家奴，奉命把财宝一箱一箱搬出。                                                                                           "主母，不好了，汉兵杀进城了！"几个残兵惊慌逃来。                                                                                           万氏正在照单清点木箱，闻言浑身一颤："哪来的汉军是朝廷的大同军，还是楚雄造反的汉军"                                                                                           那些败兵连连摇头："不晓得。"                                                                                           "一群窝囊废！"                                                                                           万氏破口大骂，又下令说："快快把财货运出城去，剩下的莫要再搬了。"                                                                                           这妇人贪婪无比，敌军都进城了，她不赶快逃命，竟还想着带走眼前的财宝。                                                                                           看守财宝的土司兵们，面对这道命令，都有些不知所措。他们常年跟着沙定洲打仗，知道此刻该做啥，继续押送财宝不是寻死吗                                                                                           万氏怒道："都耳朵聋了快快上路，趁乱冲出城去！"                                                                                           或许是万氏名声在外，土司兵不敢违抗命令，竟真的押送财宝慢悠悠出城。速度想快都快不起来，财宝太重了，只能用马或者骡子慢慢拉。                                                                                           他们只走出半条街，赵铭正和王凤就带兵杀来。                                                                                           "护住财宝，护住财宝，"万氏站在一驾马车上，指着前方的大同军说，"杀了他们冲过去！"                                                                                           土司兵互相看看，他们听闻敌军进城，早就是心惊胆战的状态。此刻被堵住前进道路，又有个疯婆子瞎指挥，哪里还敢真的奉命冲杀他们连多少敌人进城都不清楚，就算杀灭了眼前之敌，继续押送财宝被包围咋办                                                                                           "跑吧！"                                                                                           一个土司兵嘀咕道。                                                                                           声音不大，影响不小，顿时就有十多个土司兵开溜。                                                                                           "快杀过去……站住，你们别跑！"                                                                                           万氏再度催促时，发现士卒已经逃跑大半。                                                                                           有的土司兵，甚至砸开木箱，取出一两块黄金白银，揣进怀里就往后方巷道逃去。                                                                                           "杀！"                                                                                           赵铭正率队冲锋，五十个大同军、五十个云南残兵，朝着数百精锐土司兵冲杀。                                                                                           大同军一冲锋，剩下的土司兵也动了，全部转身撒丫子开溜。而车夫、民夫、家奴之流，更是跑得比兔子还快，瞬间只剩万氏一个人站在原地。                                                                                           万氏看着一长串的车队，里面装满了自己的财宝，心痛得仿佛在滴血。                                                                                           她此时此刻，居然不惧死亡，而是舍不得那些财宝。                                                                                           万氏都懒得看冲来的大同士卒，下车捡起一块翻落的佛顶石，无比留恋的伸手去抚摸。                                                                                           "啊！"                                                                                           手指触碰佛顶石的瞬间，万氏被一脚踹翻，然后被按倒在地。额头磕出的鲜血，把佛顶石都染红了，金色的佛顶沾满了血腥。
