Reed is also a kind of rod-shaped plant, but it is much thinner than sugar cane, and sugar cane, reed is also rich in sugar and water, but also contains a lot of other elements that are very beneficial to the human body, it is very suitable to choose this plant to replace sugar cane.

Of course, Situ Jin also made some other minor modifications to this brewing recipe according to the taste of the mainlanders, but it was generally based on the steps of making "rum" on the earth in the previous life.

The recipe that Situ Jin gave John is the recipe for brewing dark rum, the alcohol content is about 40 degrees, not too high, but not too low, but Situ Jin believes that this wine must be more in line with the taste of mainlanders than white wine or something.

After a few more words of advice to John, Situ Jin left the Daqi Trading House and returned to the barracks.

Early the next morning, Gao Wen's order came down, and after simply saying goodbye to the people of [11th Battalion], without alarming too many people, Gao Wen quietly came to [13th Battalion].

After all, if you have to travel a long way to another place, many things still have to be prepared, and everyone in the 13th Battalion spent a whole day preparing everything to bring with them for the trip, and when the busy work is over, it will be dark. In the evening, Situ Nan sent someone to send 30 horses to Situ Jin, but Situ Jin did not say anything and accepted all 30 horses.

"Hualin" to "Tias", the road is long, and there is also the second ranked mountain range in the Yarrow Empire, "Rocky Mountains", even if you ride a fast horse all the way, it will take a week to arrive, if you walk, you can't get there without ten days and half a month. With these 30 horses, at least a lot of burdens can be relieved, and at very good times, it is also convenient to investigate the situation, so Situ Jin has no reason not to accept these 30 horses.

On this morning, the sky did not shine as before, but was shrouded in layers of ink clouds, and the fine rain threads spread up and weaved a gray curtain between the heavens and the earth, and the autumn rain was like smoke and fog.

[13 Battalion] quietly left the imperial capital under the leadership of Situ Jin, and marched towards the destination Tias.

Because of the rain, the road was very muddy, so the speed of the [13th Battalion] was very slow, Situ Jin rode a white horse, walking at the front of the whole team, next to him was Gao Wen, who was also riding a white horse, both of them were wearing rainproof clothing issued by the army, but even so, their hair was still wet with rain.

"It's raining in autumn, and we're just in time for the rainy season on this trip!" Gawain tugged at the horse's reins with both hands, and his eyes were half-squinted and he didn't dare to open them completely because of the dense rain.

Situ Jin smiled: "Then let's hurry slowly, anyway, we are not in a hurry." ”

Gao Wen stared into the distance, his gaze seemed to penetrate the layers of mist, reaching the sky: "This winter's "Tias" must be very lively. ”

"Oh?" Situ Jin looked at Gao Wen and said, "What do you say?"

Gao Wen didn't look at Situ Jin, his eyes were still looking ahead, and said: "I heard that the two countries of 'Uta Country' and 'Sena Country' have been stationed in large numbers near the 'Itan Wasteland' not long ago, and the purpose is needless to say, it seems that it will be difficult for the Vaal people to make any gains in these two countries this winter. ”

After a moment of silence, Situ Jin spoke, "You mean to say that the Vaal people will attack Tias this winter?"

Gao Wen turned his head sideways and smiled at Situ Jin: "This is just my personal guess." ”

Situ Jin didn't speak again, but fell into deep thought, originally he thought that Situ Nan asked him to go to Tias just to send him away from a random place, but now it seems that this is not the case!

Not long after the [13th Battalion] left the emperor, a major event happened in the palace.

In recent years, the old emperor Aldrich and the 24th Emperor have become more and more in poor health, so he does not participate in the early dynasty every morning as before, and only participates in the early dynasty twice a week at a specific time.

This morning, it was time for the old emperor to participate in the early dynasty, but the old emperor had just walked to the door of the palace hall, and before his feet had even stepped into the door of the hall, he suddenly fainted and fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth.

This frightened the ministers, and everyone hurriedly arranged for someone to carry the old emperor back to the palace, and immediately called the court physician to diagnose and treat the old emperor's condition.

Unexpectedly, several doctors were busy with diagnosis and treatment for a long time, but they couldn't come up with a decent reason, just that it might be because of old age and overwork. But when asked when the old emperor would wake up, no doctor could give an answer.

The eldest prince Robert was furious, and immediately ordered the execution of those quacks, and immediately sent a notice to the whole continent that as long as someone could cure the old emperor, he was willing to reward him with a reward of ten thousand dollars in his personal name. Subsequently, the eldest prince announced that in order to pray for the old emperor, he would insist on eating a vegetarian diet until the old emperor woke up.

This move immediately won the favor of everyone in the empire. For a time, from the dignitaries to the common people, they all sighed at the filial piety and benevolence of the prince.

Although the old emperor had just fallen less than half a day, several ministers of the court and the central government immediately signed a joint performance, claiming that "the country cannot be without a king for a day, and the family cannot be without an owner for a day", and advocated that before the old emperor wakes up, the eldest prince should shoulder the heavy responsibility of the country and temporarily handle state affairs on behalf of the old emperor.

The old emperor has not yet determined his next successor, and at this time, the eldest prince, as the eldest son, stood up to deal with state affairs, which can be said to be justified. Although there are also some people in the second prince and the first line in the court, they can't say anything to refute it, so they can only acquiesce in all this happening.

In the past few years, although the eldest prince Robert and the second prince Ferdinand have been fighting around the throne openly or covertly, but if you really want to talk about it, the second prince Ferdinand is not the opponent of the eldest prince Robert at all. Not to mention that the key positions of all departments and departments in the DPRK and China are in the hands of the eldest prince Robert, but when it comes to the strength of the army, Ferdinand was far from being thrown away by Robert more than one street.

In the past few years, although the old emperor has secretly supported his youngest son Ferdinand, but helplessly, when Ferdinand was born, Robert was already an adult and already had a lot of power in his hands. Since the nobles of the family have chosen Robert, they will not turn halfway and support Ferdinand, not to mention, many people are not optimistic about the second prince of the empire.

For now, Ferdinand's biggest weight in his hands may be his royal sister Theresia, and if Theresia can successfully ascend to the throne of Orlando, then Ferdinand will soon be able to get help from another country.

But the question is, can Ferdinand wait for this moment, and will Theresia be able to ascend to the throne in Orlando? Now, the old emperor suddenly fainted, and the situation of the two was even worse.
