第二百八十九章武装商队

Yancheng, Beida Camp.
将领们此时正因为望远镜你争我抢。攫欝攫
一个个你拽我的胳膊，我薅你的头发，我扯你大腿，闹的不可开交。
而尝试过望远镜的将领们则双目呆滞，久久无法平复内心的震撼。
From today onwards, the royal army has gained a thousand-mile vision.
“小心点，别弄坏了，还抢！”常威见望远镜在将领们手中被粗鲁对待，心疼的要命。
He has already designated this telescope as his own.
“不要紧张，这个东西马上就会有了很多了，人手一个也不问题。”赵煦无奈地说道。
The craftsmanship of telescopes is not very complicated.
Glass is also in unlimited supply, so mass production is not a problem.
常威松了口气，感慨道：“有了这个东西，战场岂不是能把敌阵看得清清楚楚的，末将以为倒是要给炮兵一些，战场上岂不是如虎添翼。”
“不错，炮兵自然是要给的，还有探马，在出征之前，本王尽量都给你们一些。”赵煦笑道。
Upon hearing this, both Chang Wei and the other generals showed expressions of anticipation.
不得不说，他们觉得望远镜这个东西倒是真和将领们气质相搭配。
不管是谁拿着望远镜那么一望，嘿，俨然整个人的就变了。
Allowing the generals to experience the novelty of the telescope.
这时赵煦正色道：“火炮本王给你们备上了，燧发枪本王也给你们备上了，现在这千里眼也给你们配上了，此番晋州之战你们若是打的不尽人意，可就不要怪本王翻脸了。”
The generals' hearts skipped a beat as they heard the words.
In unison, they said, "Yes, Your Highness."
Nodding, Zhao Xu left the Beida camp.
Upon returning to the palace, Zhao Xu assigned the manufacturing of telescopes to the glass workshop.
还给玻璃坊调了几个专门负责打磨的匠人，几个制造望远镜圆筒的木匠。
He is anxiously counting down to the approaching date of mobilization.
赵煦接下来不是催督刘福建立运输粮草的后勤，便是到兵仗司里监管燧发枪以及弹药的制造。
Day by day passes.
The coldness of Yanzhou is gradually replaced by a faint warmth.
The red plum blossoms have bloomed, and the willow trees have sprouted new buds.
The river now has leisurely swimming wild ducks.
On this day.
一队红色甲衣的骑兵自南城进入燕城，带来了朝廷催促发兵的圣旨。
“又要打仗了，这才安稳几个月啊。”凤儿给赵煦整理起了盔甲。
In this battle of Jinzhou, the King of Yan is once again leading the expedition, which worries her.
Lu'an did not speak, but her anxious expression was hard to hide.
“殿下，这西凉不比袁家，袁家兵马大多一群乌合之众，可这西凉兵据说凶的狠，不比北狄兵好对付。”凤儿继续唠叨。
赵煦点点头，西凉能在北狄和大颂的夹缝中存在这么久，也是有自己的本事的。
“这晋州不比燕州一马平川，据说到处是山，殿下去了可要当心，即便猛兽毒虫也是危险的。”鸾儿柔声道，她和凤儿都要随军去照顾燕王。
But King Yan disagreed.
Implicitly, he considered them a burden.
While they were still giving instructions, it was reported that Chang Wei and Liu Fu had arrived.
Emperor Zhao Xu got up and went to the council chamber. The translated content is as follows:
“殿下，此番下官征调了十万民夫运输粮草，他们大都是原晋州之民。”刘福说道。
Now that spring has arrived, soon it will be time for spring plowing, and after that comes the summer harvest."
若有征调原燕州分了土地的百姓，定然会影响燕州的生产。
Luckily, there are numerous peasants coming from Jinzhou who have resolved this issue.
而且晋州百姓对燕王夺回晋州更加期望，也更愿意卖力。
顿了下，他继续道：“至于粮草更是没有问题了，谢家送来的粮食足够打数场大仗了。”
Zhao Xu nodded in satisfaction.
As the saying goes, "An army marches on its stomach."
The logistics of the Royal Household Army must be ensured.
刘福说完，常威道：“殿下，末将总共调遣了八万人马出征晋州，包括三万老兵，五万新兵，这五万中有三万是装备燧发枪的新兵。”
思索了下，他继续道：“还有七万人，末将把其中四万人调遣到了燕关，防止北狄异动，剩下三万人驻扎在燕城，以备不测。”
"Okay, in three days, we'll set off for Feihu Pass," Zhao Xu said.
Liu Fu and Chang Wei have completed their preparations, so now we can proceed with the military campaign.
常威应了声是，接着道：“殿下，我们是出兵了，马家呢？”
“马家来人说，马家已准备妥当，随时能够进军晋州。”赵煦说道。
Two days ago, the Ma family sent someone to the Yan city to discuss about sending troops.
此次赵恒让他和马家出兵晋州，给了他一个西北兵马大元帅的临时差遣头衔。
In simple terms, even the Ma family must be subject to his control.
但正如宁锦都司之战时那样，这个头衔对势族军队没有多大意义。
Its symbolic meaning outweighs its practical significance.
毕竟关键时刻，这些势族军队可不会为了皇家耗尽自己的兵马。
“希望马家能像点样子，否则只怕我们要凭一己之力对抗西凉。”常威叹了口气。
虽是这么说，但以他在京师时对这些势族的了解，基本上不抱希望。
赵煦闻言，拧着眉头，正色道：“，无论什么时候，不要把希望放在别人手中，此次晋州之战，要做最坏情况的预演，懂吗？”
Chang Wei slowly nodded.
这段时间的沙盘推演一直没有停止过。厺厽奇书网suyingwang.net厺厽
Overall, they have simulated three scenarios under different conditions.
The first scenario involves the Ma family and the Wang family's elite troops cooperating wholeheartedly.
The second scenario is that the Ma family only contributes their presence without putting in any effort.
第三种则是最恶劣的情况，马家不但襄助，反倒使绊子。
The worst-case scenario mentioned by the Yan King is this third scenario.
And in this worst-case scenario, they have also done the most deducing.
After all, it is not very difficult to achieve a great victory in the other two situations.
"This subordinate will follow Your Highness's orders." Chang Wei replied respectfully with a clenched fist, his expression serious.
战事不是儿戏，平时里同燕王能随便点。
但这件事一点马虎不能出。
又商议了一会儿，赵煦令刘福明日就把粮草运往飞狐关，常威按日期出发，不得延误。
The two people just left.
Someone reported that Xu Ke had arrived, and Zhao Xuan ordered him to come in.
战争之前，粮草，军队自是要有准备，但暗中的情报之战却在提前进行。
不多时，一身青衣，穿着官服的徐克走了进来。巘戅奇书网suying戅
