After traveling through time, I became Han Zhang’s grandson?

Zhong Yan was a famous frontier army general in the middle and late Northern Song Dynasty. He was the son of the famous general Zhong Shiheng. Together with his brother Zhong Gu and his younger brother Zhong Zhen, they were collectively known as the "Three Kinds" and were famous in Guanzhong.

He is also the prototype of the well-known "Old General Zhong Jinglie" in the famous historical novel "Water Margin".

As a member of the "Zong Family Generals" of the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhong Yan's greatest fortune was being born in the Zhong family and having a legendary father.

The second luck is that I have respectful older brothers and hardworking younger brothers.

And the ultimate luck, Zhong Yan feels, is that he has met a group of like-minded friends with whom he can confide his body and mind.

Of course, this statement was still quite applicable before the sixth year of Jiayou.

It was not until he saw his long-lost brother and best friend that he suddenly felt that his second and third luck might turn into second and third misfortune.

The tragic event hit him on the head with a bang, and he was completely unprepared.

"You might lose your brothers if you do this."

The burly man sat at the last seat, looking at Han Ming and his brother Zhong Gu in the first seat with an aggrieved look.

Han Ming looked at Brother Zhong Yan, whom he hadn't seen for many years, and felt that this guy was becoming more and more powerful.

"Brother..."

Seeing that Han Ming looked like he didn't want to listen, Zhong Yan had no choice but to turn around and stare at his brother.

"What? Have you forgotten your father's teachings?"

Wow! Han Ming, who was sitting in the first seat, exclaimed, "Wow!" Zhong Gu was bringing out the late Zhong Shiheng to suppress Zhong Yan.

When Zhong Yan heard his brother mention his father, his face immediately fell and he dared not say a word.

"Were the things your father taught you about loyalty to the emperor, patriotism, and protecting the country and the people all just bullshit?"

Zhong Gu didn't care about anything. After all, Zhong Shiheng passed away early, and the eldest brother was like a father. Zhong Gu was the well-deserved authority in the Zhong family.

"Brother taught me a lesson, and Jiro knows it."

Zhong Yan is already in his thirties, but he is still timid in front of Zhong Gu.

Zhong Gu also knew that he had gone a bit too far, so he glanced at Han Ming and indicated that it was his turn.

"Second Brother Zhong, we are all family. There's no need to be so formal, right?"

When Han Ming made this remark, Zhong Yan's expression immediately changed: "Humph, you have always loved playing tricks since you were a child. As a man, can't you be more decisive?"

Han Ming didn't care at all when Zhong Yan said this. He waved his hand and said, "It's all for the country, why bother about the means?"

Han Ming's words made Wang Shao, who was sitting next to him, turn around and try to suppress his laughter. His master's ability to laugh was still improving.

In the end, Zhong Yan ran to the Qingjian City barracks with a lot of resentment.

No one knew what the atmosphere was like in the barracks that day. The only thing we knew was that our General Zhong got furious.

Yes, he was furious, shouting out that timeless line with such momentum that he almost overturned the entire military camp.

"From today on, Qingjian City will fully implement the military reform order of the Pacification and Transportation Department. Anyone who agrees or opposes, please stand up!"

These words, accompanied by Zhong Yan's dark face, shocked the entire military camp for a moment.

"Since you can't say anything bullshit right now, then if you have any more bullshit in the future, just hold it in. If anyone says another word of bullshit, I'll skin him alive!"

Such aggressive words made all the generals silent.

After a while, a lieutenant general spoke cautiously: "General, if you feel threatened, you can blink..."

"Fuck off!"

In a fit of rage, he threw the military token on the desk at the usually clever deputy general.

For a while, the tent was in chaos and it was very lively.

On the second day, Qingjian City ushered in its first grand military reform.

The first and foremost task is military appearance and discipline.

In fact, Han Ming didn't want to make a fuss about the military appearance at first. After all, in this era, not many people pay attention to this kind of image work.

But Han Ming is different. As a person who has experienced the modern 21st century, he knows the military appearance of the armies of various countries on the earth throughout history.

Among them, when it comes to clothing, Sandezi’s military uniform must be the best.

When it comes to lineups, it must be the Tokyo University’s lineup that makes people’s blood boil.

So when Han Ming saw these Western troops, who were known as the most elite troops on the border of the Song Dynasty, with their armor partially covered and standing staggeringly, he left the military camp with a headache.

And Zong Yan was still complacent. After all, his own army could be said to be the best in the Western Army.

But for Han Ming, this made him quite dissatisfied, very dissatisfied, and extremely dissatisfied.

After all, after seeing fine grains, who can still eat coarse bran?

"The first step for the future Western Army must be to maintain a strict military appearance and a good image, which will give the army the greatest morale."

"And the first step must be implemented in Qingjian City."

Han Ming sat in the lobby of the Qingjian City government office and explained his views to the civil and military officials present.

"Sir, I don't quite understand what you mean. What do you mean by a strict military appearance?"

The chief official of Qingjian City government is a middle-aged man. He is not famous, but he is also a steady person.

After all, a civil servant who can sit in charge of a border city is a person with some courage, and the fact that he can work with Zhong Yan shows his ability level.

"First, uniform clothing, second, uniform military formation."

As Han Ming finished his concise words, the middle-aged civil servant Xie Wendu couldn't help but frown and bowed.

"My Lord, are you speaking of advice or orders?"

Xie Wendu's words made Han Ming narrow his eyes slightly, and he asked softly: "What's the difference?"

Xie Wendu replied, "Sir, if this is a suggestion, I believe it should be reported to the Imperial Court, the Three Departments, and the Privy Council for coordination. They should jointly discuss the regulations and issue a written document before it can be implemented."

Han Ming crossed his hands under his chin and stared at Xie Wendu with interest.

"If it is an order, Your Excellency should coordinate with all parties involved. Both the imperial court and local finances should set aside relevant funds to support Your Excellency's order."

Xie Wendu's words were well-reasoned and made the civil servants in the hall nod in agreement.

The generals seemed to think that what Xie Wendu said was right.

Only Han Ming could see that Xie Wendu was the spokesperson for Qingjian City's civil and military affairs.

"Master Xie, do you know that according to what you said, the time spent on this round trip only solved the problem of the military appearance of Qingjian City's army."

"In the entire northwest, not to mention Hedong Road and Qinfeng Road, there are five prefectures and counties in Yongxing Military Road alone, with a total of over 100,000 troops waiting for military reform."

"If we really follow Lord Xie's wishes, I estimate that within three or four years, this military reform can be suspended."

In the entire military reform, the first step of military appearance is not easy, let alone the most important second step of military discipline.

In the Song Dynasty, or throughout the entire feudal history, killing innocent people and taking credit for their achievements has always been a phenomenon.

Han Ming hopes to create a lion that can defend the country in this era, or at least avoid all kinds of military discipline problems.

But all things are difficult at the beginning, and this first step was blocked by people using the court rules and procedures.

"Your Excellency is wrong. Military reform is a major policy implemented by the court in Yongxing Military Road, but it must also comply with the court's relevant systems and regulations."

"We can't just stick to the old ways, but we can't forget our roots either!"

Xie Wendu's words were somewhat harsh, causing many people's expressions to change slightly.

Especially Zhong Yan, the chief military officer of Qingjian City, and Wang Shao beside Han Ming frowned.

Han Ming, who was sitting at the top, was the only one in the room who looked calm and composed.

"Master Xie, do you think I'm digging up the roots of the Song Dynasty?"

Han Ming's counter-question still made many people sweat profusely, but Xie Wendu still stiffened his neck and refused to admit defeat.

"I dare not. Lord Han should discuss the matter based on facts instead of forcing people with words."

Han Ming looked at Xie Wendu with a forced smile and waved his hand casually: "You all think that the military reform is my suggestion to the court, but in fact, you all know the situation well. This is an order from the Privy Council, and I am simply following it."

"If you all have such thoughts, please write to the Privy Council and ask them to stop this military reform. I will have no complaints."

Hearing Han Ming bring up the imperial Privy Council to suppress the situation, Xie Wendu's face turned unhappy.

"Master Han, please don't be distracted. I want to ask where the funds for this military reform will come from."

"If you are leaving from the provincial level, please bring the relevant documents from the court; if you are leaving from the imperial court, you should report to the court promptly."

Xie Wendu's words were a bit impolite, and Han Ming's smile deepened.

"I see. Sir, why didn't you say so earlier? If you hadn't said so, I would have thought you were against military reform."

Han Ming's ability to act like a smiling tiger left many people speechless.

On the other hand, Xie Wendu's face turned pale and blue.

"Since Lord Xie mentioned this today, I will tell you a piece of news. I believe it will be able to dispel some people's anxiety."

Hearing Han Ming's words, everyone couldn't help but prick up their ears, ready to listen with interest.

"Regarding the financial expenditures related to this military reform, I have already received relevant orders from the imperial court..."
