575【李自成去草原混？】（第1页）

        满清真的迁都了，放弃沈阳，放弃抚顺，放弃铁岭，放弃开原，一路退到辽长城以东。                                                                                           那里全是山区密林，只要鞑子重兵驻守关隘，大同军还真不好去攻打。。。                                                                                           满清的都城，再次变成赫图哈拉，也就是所谓的建州卫，最紧要的城堡则是萨尔浒。                                                                                           沈阳开原等城市，被满清掳掠一空。                                                                                           人口没带走太多，因为山区容纳不了。牲畜粮食和财货，却是能抢多少就抢多少，就连那些汉奸地主的钱粮都被抢。                                                                                           大同骑兵闻讯追击，斩杀鞑子两千余，救回被逼着搬运财货的汉民数千，截获大量牲口粮食和财货。                                                                                           费如鹤那边，由于李自成仓促回兵山西，沿途城池守军皆无战心，大同军顺势收复整个河北。                                                                                           潼关。                                                                                           费映珙带兵攻克渭南，守将刘三虎战死，大同军在潼关顺利会师。                                                                                           宣教官林如昭骑马来到关下，守关士卒并未放箭。林如昭喊话道："田将军，你虽忠勇，但不可逆势而为。你困守潼关已近五月，对得起李自成的恩遇。潼关的军粮，差不多也该吃完了吧难道你自己效忠李自成，就带着数万士卒一起饿死"                                        搜读小说http:ｍ。soｄuso。ｃc                                                                                           田见秀沉默，军中已断粮两日，若非他领军能力超强，麾下士卒早就哗变了。                                                                                           左右看看身边将士，一个个面有菜色，有些甚至都已站不稳。                                                                                           林如昭继续说道："只要投降，一律免死！"                                                                                           田见秀终于开口："记住这句话，希望你莫要食言！"                                                                                           "大同军说到做到，"林如昭喊道，"陕西天灾人祸十余年，百姓所剩无几。潼关里的几万人，有方圆好几个县征召的民夫。大同军又怎会杀他们杀了他们谁种地他们的妻儿，都还在家里等着他们回去！"                                                                                           这句话，说到了守城士卒的心坎里。                                                                                           他们中的大部分人，本来就只是农民，被征做民夫之后，又被田见秀编为军队。离家数月，思归心切，根本不想打仗，脑子里念着的都是家人。                                                                                           "你们，开城投降吧。"                                                                                           田见秀对将士说完这句，便朝着东北方跪拜，继而拔刀横颈自尽。                                                                                           刘体纯没有阻拦，而是跟着自尽。刘家七虎，揭竿起义，只剩他这个刘二虎，正好去九泉之下陪兄弟们。                                                                                           守关士卒非常安静，默默打开城门，迎接大同军入内，然后等着发粮填饱肚子。                                                                                           李自成回到太原不久，便收到潼关军情。是大同军送去的，让李自成早日投降，不要只剩山西一省还负隅顽抗。                                                                                           "丞相是不是早有预料"李自成问。                                                                                           牛金星叹息说："放手一搏而已，搏赢了占领北直隶全境，但迟早也会被姓赵的杀回来。搏输了，便是这般下场，能保住山西已是万幸。若拿元末局势比喻，咱们就是红巾军，一直跟官军打生打死。赵瀚就是那朱元璋，咱们顶着官军主力，他却在南方高筑墙缓称王。"                                                                                           李自成又问："山西还能守几年"                                                                                           "陛下何必明知故问，"牛金星说道，"我军之败，在内而不在外。"                                                                                           一句话，人心不齐。                                                                                           陕西之战，大顺军的将领，有太多望风而降，甚至是主动叛乱捅友军的刀子。等赵瀚消化掉河北陕西，来年再派兵攻打山西，山西的大顺军将领，恐怕也有很多会倒戈。                                                                                           山川之险不足守，真正牢不可破的是万众一心。                                                                                           李自成问道："丞相想投降吗"                                                                                           牛金星实话实说："惜命，愿降。但不会卖主求荣，也不会叛乱倒戈。"                                                                                           李自成感慨道："这已经很难得了。如果人人都像丞相，就算只有山陕两地，我也敢跟姓赵的争天下。老营的那些兄弟，以前都是苦哈哈，能吃顿饱饭就欢喜得很。可咱登基做了皇帝，要他们爱护百姓，却没几个人听话，都变成前明的官老爷那般。咱处罚得狠了，他们就不跟咱齐心。咱要是不处罚，老百姓就没法过日子。老百姓过不下去，咱这皇帝怎么做下去"                                                                                           "人心便是如此。"牛金星说。                                                                                           李自成失神良久，说道："姓赵的怎就成了呢他的老兄弟就不埋怨"                                                                                           牛金星说道："这个问题，陛下以前就问过。南京朝廷，文官有文官的样子。武将只管打仗，只有在新占之地，武将才能临时治民。一旦划了身份，派了文官过来，武将就不得干涉民政。武将不能干涉民政，就没法在地方上贪污，就得靠兵部发粮饷。大同军的粮饷，有专门的后勤官发放，那些后勤官是都督府和兵部兼管的。都督府的武官，又不得插手战场指挥。层层分权，哪个武将敢叛乱"                                                                                           李自成沉默。                                                                                           牛金星说："陛下，我大顺也定了制度，但武将的权力太大了。臣知陛下不信文官，但地方上还得让他们治理。陛下虽然答应，让文官治理地方，但给文官的权力太小，他们处处受到武将的制约。如此，制度只是制度，无法落实到州县。陛下对百姓好，可这种好心，无法落实到乡村。陛下减免田赋，可文官武将，却变着花样的收杂税。这些事情，陛下都知道，但陛下与臣一样，没办法真正去管。"                                                                                           李自成还是没说话。                                                                                           牛金星又说："制度是什么制度就是规矩，定了规矩就不能变。那赵瀚定了分田的规矩，至今也没反复过。便是皇亲国戚，照样得按律分田。费家出了一个皇后一个妃子，还有两员带兵大将，费氏不一样被分田吗费氏族人犯法，不一样被处置吗费家都如此，便立了榜样，别人再犯非得问罪不可。可咱们呢李家和高家，哪个不占了大片农田哪个不招了大批佃户皇亲国戚如此，陛下的老兄弟们，自然也有样学样。老营的将领如此，中途归附的将领不跟着学将领如此，军官又如何幸免武将如此，文官又怎能守法"                                                                                           牛金星估计憋得太久，又觉得大顺朝快完了，索性什么话都往外吐。                                                                                           牛金星叹息道："《大同集》一书，每次翻出来重读，都有一番新的感受。陛下，咱们输得不冤。"                                                                                           "是啊，不冤，"李自成突然开口，"这次河北大战，两军主力在天津对峙，朕派刘宗敏去攻略保定等地。保定一线城池，全都是农兵和百姓在守城。刘宗敏率领我大顺精锐，攻打一座只有农兵驻守的小县城，竟然打了三个月没打下来。听刘宗敏说，他把城墙都轰塌了，指挥士卒从缺口攻入。城内的农兵和百姓，拼了命堵住缺口，竟把刘宗敏的精兵给杀溃。"                                                                                           牛金星说道："这便是民心。姓赵的，在南方得民心。百姓视国为家，乐意为其效死。只因农民分了田，城里人有营生，商贾的财货也不会被官员无端抢夺，读书人只要有功绩就能升迁。士农工商之心，皆在姓赵的那里。听说，就算是百姓力战而死，牌位也能进英魂庙，跟赵家的宗庙共享香火。一人战死，全家皆为烈属，父母妻子可得抚恤金，子孙考官还有优待。如此这般，谁不愿拼死力战换成我大顺朝廷，敌军攻入河东，官民纷纷开城投降。何也官不能得其位，民不能得其利而已。"                                                                                           李自成颓然坐在龙椅上，他觉得治国好麻烦，还是以前做流寇爽啊。打仗就是打仗，不用担心后方。                                                                                           良久，李自成坐直身体，问道："若敌军攻入山西，肯定很多将士投降，咱们拼也拼不过，到时候该往哪里走"                                                                                           牛金星说："汉家之地，肯定都去不得，那就只能往北。"                                                                                           "河套"李自成问。                                                                                           牛金星摇头："以那赵瀚的雄才大略，怎么可能不收回河套。咱们要走，就只能去阴山以北！"                                                                                           李自成不愿意："那咱岂不是成了放羊为生的蒙古鞑子"                                                                                           牛金星居然早有准备："陛下，臣已经打听清楚了。阴山南北，原为土默特部所有，被林丹汗打得败逃，继而便降了后金鞑子。鞑酋黄台吉，以其首领俄木布的乳母之夫，勾结大明反清为由，夺了俄木布的兵权，还将其抓到沈阳受审。而今，俄木布被贬为庶人，草场被鞑子分而治之。鞑子现在不行了，那里乱成一锅粥，你打我，我打你。咱要是带着骑兵过去，肯定能占领大片草原！"                                                                                           李自成犹豫不定，他面疙瘩吃惯了，实在不想去草原放羊。                                                                                           可不去草原，又能去哪里呢                                                                                           大顺朝廷内部，此时已经离心离德。除了老营的兄弟，李自成看谁都像叛徒，指不定哪天就投降大同军了。                                                                                           这种情况没法打仗，只要大同军出兵，山西的关隘分分钟失守。                                                                                           牛金星又说："陛下若去草原，那就尽快去了山西北上。而今鞑子大败，草原是最混乱的时候。若是迟个一年半载，草原各部已分出胜负，到时再去草原就不好打了。留在山西又有什么用处无非多享受一两年富贵而已。"                                                                                           李自成左思右想，猛然拍板道："只要姓赵的，愿意放回李过和高一功。咱就向他称臣，献出山西，带兵去阴山草原抢地盘！"
