左(zuo)懋(mao)第開始(shi)(shi)(shi)時(shi)反對(dui)議和(he)(he)，極力主戰(zhan)，并請求(qiu)撥給他(ta)人馬，以(yi)(yi)(yi)收(shou)復(fu)失地，恢(hui)復(fu)大明(ming)江山．但未獲批準。繼(ji)而(er)(er)他(ta)又拒絕(jue)出(chu)使議和(he)(he)，請求(qiu)安宗皇帝改(gai)派他(ta)人出(chu)使，也未被接(jie)受。左(zuo)懋(mao)第深(shen)織赴京議和(he)(he)，如(ru)同與(yu)虎謀皮，希(xi)望(wang)渺(miao)茫(mang)，但君命難違，只能(neng)(neng)照(zhao)辦。臨行(xing)前，他(ta)力勸安宗皇帝“時(shi)時(shi)以(yi)(yi)(yi)先帝之仇、北都之恥(chi)為(wei)(wei)念”， “勿以(yi)(yi)(yi)北行(xing)為(wei)(wei)和(he)(he)議必成(cheng)，勿以(yi)(yi)(yi)和(he)(he)成(cheng)為(wei)(wei)足(zu)恃”。提醒(xing)南(nan)明(ming)王朝(chao)不要期望(wang)和(he)(he)議一(yi)定(ding)能(neng)(neng)成(cheng)功(gong)，即使議和(he)(he)成(cheng)功(gong)，也不一(yi)定(ding)是可以(yi)(yi)(yi)信(xin)賴的，主張以(yi)(yi)(yi)武力保平安。“夫(fu)能(neng)(neng)渡河(he)而(er)(er)戰(zhan)，始(shi)(shi)(shi)能(neng)(neng)扼河(he)而(er)(er)守，必能(neng)(neng)扼河(he)面守，始(shi)(shi)(shi)能(neng)(neng)畫(hua)江而(er)(er)安．’強調(diao)以(yi)(yi)(yi)天下為(wei)(wei)重，以(yi)(yi)(yi)恥(chi)仇為(wei)(wei)念，以(yi)(yi)(yi)淪陷之民為(wei)(wei)憂，要整軍傷兵，以(yi)(yi)(yi)田恢(hui)復(fu)大業。

左(zuo)懋(mao)第(di)對北(bei)行議和的危險(xian)也深有預(yu)料。他在一封信中說，

“懋第(di)(di)此行，是懋第(di)(di)死日也。”立志要“效(xiao)宋之文天樣”，“留(liu)正(zheng)氣于(yu)千古。”

崇禎十七年十月(yue)初，揩二副(fu)使及隨從百余(yu)人至北(bei)京(jing)張(zhang)家(jia)灣，住進鴻(hong)臚(lu)(lu)寺。懋(mao)第(di)在鴻(hong)臚(lu)(lu)寺陳設太(tai)牢，率隨員北(bei)面哭祭(ji)三日(ri)。十月(yue)二十七日(ri)多(duo)(duo)爾袞(gun)釋放左(zuo)懋(mao)第(di)南歸。左(zuo)等(deng)走出永定門(men)，馮詮勸(quan)多(duo)(duo)爾袞(gun)不要(yao)“放虎歸山(shan)”，十一月(yue)十四日(ri)多(duo)(duo)爾袞(gun)遣百騎(qi)在滄州追回，被扣(kou)留在北(bei)京(jing)太(tai)醫院，墻(qiang)上(shang)遍布荊(jing)棘，自言：“生(sheng)(sheng)為明(ming)臣(chen)，死(si)為明(ming)鬼，我志也(ye)。”為了擊退清(qing)王朝的利(li)誘(you)勸(quan)降，他(ta)寫(xie)了“生(sheng)(sheng)為大(da)明(ming)忠臣(chen)，死(si)為大(da)明(ming)忠鬼”的對聯貼在門(men)上(shang)。一則(ze)(ze)明(ming)志，一則(ze)(ze)堵勸(quan)降說客之口。他(ta)還(huan)畫了一幅蘇武(wu)牧羊畫像，掛在墻(qiang)上(shang)以自勵。

《姜烈士正芳傳》作者：左 懋 第

姜(jiang)正芳，邑(yi)(yi)人(ren)，居(ju)邑(yi)(yi)西北(bei)(bei)五里許〔指今(jin)柏(bo)(bo)林莊鎮小埠頂村〕。少(shao)有力，能(neng)弓矢及劍(jian)。值海上備倭，應(ying)登州(zhou)壯士募，欲殺賊立功名。后事已(yi)，罷歸農(nong)。軀(qu)長(chang)健勇而(er)(er)樸誠，好(hao)解斗。有兄(xiong)弟十年訟(song)者(zhe)，合(he)之(zhi)(zhi)無(wu)異詞。又(you)知書，時說古今(jin)成(cheng)(cheng)敗事，髯眉為動。崇(chong)禎二年己巳，年已(yi)六十。際(ji)〔遇〕董大(da)(da)成(cheng)(cheng)〔今(jin)屬柏(bo)(bo)林莊鎮劉(liu)(liu)家(jia)疃(tuan)村人(ren)〕亂(luan)。大(da)(da)成(cheng)(cheng)亦(yi)邑(yi)(yi)人(ren)，恃勇好(hao)亂(luan)敗產，多(duo)結惡少(shao)。會妖賊李〔指傳白蓮教(jiao)的李盛明〕，不(bu)知何(he)(he)地(di)人(ren)，能(neng)術煽齊民，成(cheng)(cheng)陰受約(yue)為從〔大(da)(da)成(cheng)(cheng)暗(an)地(di)里接受他(ta)的密約(yue)，跟從他(ta)造反(fan)〕。有招遠(yuan)許湯(tang)(tang)，殺催稅隸(li)叛據腰(yao)山(shan)〔今(jin)稱窯山(shan)，在譚格莊鎮北(bei)(bei)〕。成(cheng)(cheng)與湯(tang)(tang)夙盟(meng)，疑不(bu)定，遂出(chu)城(cheng)散徒掠人(ren)為盜，三日，得(de)三千人(ren)。聚(ju)邑(yi)(yi)西劉(liu)(liu)家(jia)莊，待(dai)與俱(ju)東(dong)去。芳居(ju)西南一里，成(cheng)(cheng)率騎至(zhi)(zhi)其家(jia)。芳不(bu)避，為開(kai)陳大(da)(da)難， 不(bu)易發(fa)(fa)，當(dang)早寢〔早早停息(xi)〕。不(bu)應(ying)，反(fan)迫與俱(ju)。芳度〔考慮(lv)〕其黨(dang)已(yi)發(fa)(fa)，不(bu)可說，又(you)徒死(si)無(wu)益，佯應(ying)之(zhi)(zhi)。且紿(dai)〔音迨，同詒(yi)，欺(qi)騙〕之(zhi)(zhi)曰(yue)：汝事舉三余日矣，官軍得(de)無(wu)知者(zhe)？三千人(ren)而(er)(er)抱頭聚(ju)，若軍至(zhi)(zhi)，何(he)(he)以應(ying)？成(cheng)(cheng)曰(yue)：奈何(he)(he)？芳教(jiao)以分(fen)為五，皆里許隔，變可相聞。賊從之(zhi)(zhi)。日暮，果(guo)分(fen)為五，北(bei)(bei)者(zhe)近芳居(ju)，賊腹心則居(ju)中。

十一月(yue)廿三夜，晦〔天黑〕不見人(ren)。芳(fang)喜(xi)，潛(qian)至(zhi)其(qi)東(dong)南(nan)西，皆語曰(yue)(yue)：官(guan)兵(bing)至(zhi)矣，吾儕chai〔我(wo)等(deng)〕皆良人(ren)，今無死所。如聞戰(zhan)斗聲(sheng)，宜(yi)各為(wei)計。掠(lve)人(ren)〔被掠(lve)之(zhi)人(ren)〕皆惶迫，不知所為(wei)。芳(fang)因至(zhi)中語曰(yue)(yue)：官(guan)軍(jun)(jun)已至(zhi)〔大成(cheng)(cheng)〕村后矣，宜(yi)力(li)敵勿(wu)怠。大成(cheng)(cheng)及諸腹心俱(ju)鹵(lu)騃(ai)(ai)〔癡愚(yu)，鹵(lu)，通魯。騃(ai)(ai)，音似(si)〕，不知兵(bing)。皆懼而強諾(nuo)焉(yan)。芳(fang)又說(shuo)其(qi)北(bei)近居者(zhe)曰(yue)(yue)：官(guan)軍(jun)(jun)自(zi)南(nan)來，汝(ru)等(deng)宜(yi)大呼(hu)(hu)示人(ren)眾，至(zhi)便(bian)梃擊無失(shi)。亦(yi)(yi)(yi)應曰(yue)(yue)：諾(nuo)。因大呼(hu)(hu)，居中者(zhe)聞呼(hu)(hu)亦(yi)(yi)(yi)大呼(hu)(hu)。引人(ren)北(bei)向，梃相(xiang)接溷〔混(hun)亂〕擊焉(yan)。其(qi)東(dong)南(nan)西聞呼(hu)(hu)及戰(zhan)斗聲(sheng)，大恐，亦(yi)(yi)(yi)大呼(hu)(hu)，盡(jin)逃去戰(zhan)。賊聞呼(hu)(hu)亦(yi)(yi)(yi)亂。逮〔等(deng)到〕辨(bian)聲(sheng)諗為(wei)芳(fang)計，而成(cheng)(cheng)已偕從董平馳騎遁東(dong)埠(bu)。尋而告(gao)語之(zhi)，怒回呼(hu)(hu)芳(fang)。芳(fang)應之(zhi)途曰(yue)(yue)：我(wo)為(wei)汝(ru)練兵(bing)耳。成(cheng)(cheng)曰(yue)(yue)：汝(ru)亂吾兵(bing)，何練為(wei)？芳(fang)曰(yue)(yue)：汝(ru)新集兵(bing)不可戰(zhan)， 試恐以官(guan)軍(jun)(jun)走矣，況(kuang)親至(zhi)者(zhe)乎(hu)？欲圖事

須入(ru)與我(wo)謀。因延至其家(jia)。成與眾賊因人多逃，皆搖亂無定見，遂信之。芳欲(yu)堅其入(ru)〔堅定其進入(ru)之決心〕，曰(yue)：兵(bing)未散者，尚五(wu)六百人，可駐我(wo)門前，但腹(fu)心入(ru)與謀。成遂及其腹(fu)心六七人入(ru)。芳為設坐，具燈火笑曰(yue)：俱饑矣，我(wo)具食。

芳三子(zi)，長(chang)別居(ju)；次(ci)渭經(jing)，抱(bao)布貿；渭明(ming)(ming)，嫁(jia)花草竹木以生(sheng)。時長(chang)子(zi)之子(zi)春在焉。芳出(chu)屬(shu)〔通囑(zhu)(zhu)〕經(jing)視前門，明(ming)(ming)視后(hou)門。矯〔假(jia)傳〕賊(zei)令，勿(wu)使一(yi)人(ren)入(ru)(ru)。屬(shu)其孫(sun)從(cong)之〔囑(zhu)(zhu)咐(fu)他的孫(sun)子(zi)跟從(cong)他〕。孫(sun)問(wen)所以，芳曰(yue)：賊(zei)入(ru)(ru)我(wo)彀中矣。待就(jiu)食(shi)，我(wo)從(cong)旁斫董賊(zei)死。我(wo)雖(sui)老尚健，可抵三四人(ren)。魁(kui)死〔頭目死〕，余鳥獸散，不(bu)足畏即不(bu)幸為(wei)賊(zei)殺，舉家以良(liang)百(bai)姓。殺賊(zei)死，不(bu)愈于作賊(zei)死乎？汝勿(wu)語(yu)諸(zhu)婦人(ren)，但促具食(shi)。芳因入(ru)(ru)， 酌酒董賊(zei)前又(you)遍(bian)酌諸(zhu)腹心，以麥(mai)湯飲之。成等皆(jie)就(jiu)食(shi)，惟一(yi)賊(zei)魯東明(ming)(ming)者不(bu)食(shi)，持鐵叉立成傍(bang)目芳。芳疑之，因自思曰(yue)：過此瞬恐無及(ji)，吾當并斫之。因取(qu)其衣下藏刀斫大(da)(da)成，未及(ji)。東明(ming)(ming)格之，錚有聲。大(da)(da)成驚拔佩刀起應(ying)之。

諸賊舍(she)食起拔(ba)刀。芳知不(bu)濟(ji)，持(chi)刀趨(qu)出門，呼：馬安在(zai)？得賊馬聳乘之(zhi)。大(da)呼曰：人(ren)或逆我〔誰如阻止我〕，死(si)矣。于是群(qun)賊隨出大(da)呼曰：圍(wei)之(zhi)勿令走。門前諸賊圍(wei)之(zhi)數(shu)(shu)匝。芳力斫(zhuo)，殺(sha)三四人(ren)。馳數(shu)(shu)十步，群(qun)矛環(huan)刺(ci)焉，遂(sui)墜馬被縛。賊乃入(ru)收(shou)其家當(dang)。堂中亂(luan)，婦(fu)女(nv)(nv)多(duo)走。時賊約不(bu)掠，婦(fu)女(nv)(nv)多(duo)混鄰居以(yi)免。其長孫(sun)(sun)亦走免。惟渭經、渭明(ming)被執(zhi)，孫(sun)(sun)三人(ren)亂(luan)殺(sha)死(si)。盡焚其廬舍(she)。

大(da)成以兵環〔包圍〕芳(fang)并(bing)其(qi)子，罵曰：汝何為計殺我？芳(fang)曰：殺汝不中，命也(ye)。但(dan)早(zao)死耳。賊(zei)怒，罵曰：何易求(qiu)死，命取(qu)水(shui)灌(guan)三(san)人，寒凍之。群刺以矛，體無(wu)完(wan)膚，遂刳心(xin)剖腸。終無(wu)餒詞〔始終沒有屈服〕。芳(fang)既死，賊(zei)眾漸(jian)集，又(you)遣人分掠(lve)得千人。廿四日，遂攻(gong)邑城。廿五(wu)日又(you)攻(gong)，皆不克。后(hou)遂益賊(zei)至五(wu)千人，圍城焚外關。十二月，登兵〔登州府之兵〕至，與(yu)戰，賊(zei)敗走。追殺平之。大(da)成同(tong)左龍(long)西皆走出(chu)。至蒙陰縣，典(dian)史王擒殺之，梟(xiao)其(qi)首，傳之邑懸示(shi)〔懸首示(shi)眾〕焉。典(dian)史，山海關人。

左子曰(yue)：董賊(zei)(zei)之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)變，余時為諸生。聞(wen)有(you)賊(zei)(zei)，士民(min)皆(jie)乘(cheng)城(cheng)(cheng)。賊(zei)(zei)方(fang)駐西埠(bu)外，久(jiu)不(bu)(bu)(bu)來(lai)攻(gong)城(cheng)(cheng)。至夜聞(wen)眾呼聲(sheng)，城(cheng)(cheng)者曰(yue)：賊(zei)(zei)其(qi)有(you)恐與，不(bu)(bu)(bu)知芳之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)為也(ye)。芳以(yi)(yi)野老，未沾大官斗米，而散賊(zei)(zei)殺(sha)(sha)賊(zei)(zei)，以(yi)(yi)必死謀賊(zei)(zei)，何烈也(ye)。韓(han)愈(yu)論(lun)張許：守一(yi)城(cheng)(cheng)捍天下(xia)，以(yi)(yi)千百就盡之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)卒，戰百萬方(fang)滋之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)寇，蔽遮江淮(huai)，阻遏(e)其(qi)勢(shi)。天下(xia)不(bu)(bu)(bu)亡，其(qi)誰之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)功？余謂萊(lai)陽(yang)(yang)門未及，土(tu)賊(zei)(zei)乘(cheng)新集之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)勢(shi)，卒薄城(cheng)(cheng)下(xia)，事(shi)未可(ke)知。夜散之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)，殺(sha)(sha)其(qi)勢(shi)而緩其(qi)攻(gong)，以(yi)(yi)益(yi)〔增(zeng)加〕城(cheng)(cheng)中一(yi)日之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)備，遂得獲奸內靖，眾志(zhi)鼓厲。萊(lai)陽(yang)(yang)不(bu)(bu)(bu)亡，不(bu)(bu)(bu)可(ke)謂非芳之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)功。事(shi)雖(sui)小，大懸殊：愈(yu)〔韓(han)愈(yu)〕之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)言益(yi)信夫(fu)。余嘗(chang)拜其(qi)墓(mu)，見三(san)墳為之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)流涕。因過(guo)其(qi)門：廬舍(she)皆(jie)燼(jin)。孫十四人(ren)，賊(zei)(zei)殺(sha)(sha)其(qi)三(san)，余者皆(jie)垢(gou)敝。妻王年六十余，依墻結茅以(yi)(yi)居。乘(cheng)軒者〔即當官的。軒，古代(dai)高官乘(cheng)坐的一(yi)種有(you)圍棚(peng)或帷幕的車〕未嘗(chang)一(yi)問，匹夫(fu)之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)節，不(bu)(bu)(bu)亦悲乎？

貢獻影響

屢次上疏

左(zuo)懋(mao)第為(wei)人正(zheng)直，敢于直言(yan)進諫。崇(chong)禎(zhen)年間，大(da)明矛盾重(zhong)重(zhong)、危機(ji)四伏(fu)，陷入內外(wai)(wai)交困之中，內有李自成農民(min)(min)軍縱橫半(ban)天(tian)下，外(wai)(wai)有清兵(bing)屢次入侵，邊(bian)防破敗，天(tian)災頻(pin)仍，三餉加派，竭(jie)盡民(min)(min)脂(zhi)，吏治腐朽，民(min)(min)不聊生。統治集團內部爭(zheng)權奪利。身為(wei)朝(chao)廷(ting)言(yan)官的左(zuo)懋(mao)第憂心如焚，他(ta)屢次上(shang)疏，針砭(bian)時弊，提出救國救民(min)(min)之策，為(wei)朝(chao)野所矚目。

民族利益

左懋(mao)第從民(min)族(zu)利(li)益出發(fa)，多次(ci)向當政者(zhe)提出治國(guo)的正確主(zhu)張。左懋(mao)第被(bei)擢升(sheng)為(wei)戶科給事(shi)中(zhong)后，尖銳指斥(chi)民(min)窮、兵(bing)弱、臣工推諉(wei)、國(guo)計虛耗這四種時弊，提醒(xing)明王朝(chao)加(jia)以解決。為(wei)減輕勞動人民(min)的負擔，緩和(he)階級矛(mao)盾(dun)，以有利(li)于(yu)鞏(gong)固(gu)封建統治，較好地進(jin)行(xing)與崛(jue)起于(yu)關外(wai)的滿族(zu)的民(min)族(zu)斗(dou)爭，他屢次(ci)上書奏請納監(jian)、出錢贖罪、廣開財源，行(xing)平(ping)倉法、監(jian)法及減輕賦稅，輸(shu)粟邊塞、以充軍(jun)糧。

減輕人民負擔

后來(lai)，左懋第又改任刑科(ke)給事中，仍不斷(duan)提出減(jian)輕人(ren)民負擔的奏請(qing)。

初入諫(jian)垣，左懋第(di)便(bian)上(shang)疏要求(qiu)停(ting)止三(san)餉(xiang)加派(pai)，在(zai)他(ta)和其他(ta)大臣(chen)的苦諫(jian)下(xia)(xia)，崇(chong)禎十(shi)三(san)年(nian)(nian)（1640年(nian)(nian)），崇(chong)禎帝宣(xuan)布停(ting)征(zheng)剿(jiao)餉(xiang)。左懋第(di)請馬上(shang)公(gong)告天下(xia)(xia)，免得(de)地方開征(zheng)，小民(min)(min)不得(de)實(shi)惠，崇(chong)禎帝采納了他(ta)的建議。當年(nian)(nian)三(san)月，北京(jing)大風(feng)不止，左懋第(di)又借(jie)天變上(shang)言，直(zhi)陳時政缺失(shi)。他(ta)指(zhi)出：朝(chao)廷雖然數次下(xia)(xia)詔減兵(bing)省餉(xiang)，但小民(min)(min)卻日(ri)困一(yi)日(ri)。原因在(zai)于朝(chao)廷免征(zheng)，而地方催征(zheng)，貪官(guan)污(wu)吏借(jie)機(ji)中(zhong)飽私(si)囊。欲除此弊，必(bi)須公(gong)開各(ge)地征(zheng)賦之數，讓(rang)小民(min)(min)明白，使貪官(guan)無法作奸。停(ting)征(zheng)的加賦，必(bi)須嚴令各(ge)地實(shi)行，不許(xu)各(ge)級(ji)層(ceng)層(ceng)追(zhui)加，這樣才能使皇帝的恩惠潤澤萬民(min)(min)。崇(chong)禎帝很(hen)贊賞(shang)他(ta)的建議，下(xia)(xia)令免掉上(shang)災七十(shi)五州(zhou)(zhou)縣(xian)新、舊、練三(san)餉(xiang)，中(zhong)災六十(shi)八州(zhou)(zhou)縣(xian)新、舊二餉(xiang)，下(xia)(xia)災三(san)十(shi)八州(zhou)(zhou)縣(xian)三(san)餉(xiang)緩(huan)征(zheng)。

贍救安可不變

崇(chong)禎十四年(nian)（1641年(nian)），左懋第奉命(ming)(ming)督(du)辦(ban)漕運，即督(du)辦(ban)自江南(nan)沿運河向(xiang)京城運送糧食。當時江南(nan)發(fa)生饑荒，遍地餓殍(piao)，饑民的(de)反(fan)抗(kang)時有發(fa)生。從(cong)統(tong)治階級(ji)的(de)整體利益出(chu)發(fa)，左懋第多(duo)次向(xiang)崇(chong)楨皇帝上書，請(qing)(qing)求放糧贍災。并發(fa)出(chu)了“贍救安(an)可不變”的(de)呼吁(yu)，為民請(qing)(qing)命(ming)(ming)。當時明(ming)王朝(chao)兵連禍結。國庫(ku)空(kong)虛，民族矛盾和階級(ji)矛盾空(kong)前(qian)激(ji)烈，內外交困，處于風(feng)雨飄(piao)搖之中，左懋第的(de)意見未被(bei)采納(na)。

甲申國變前
