Moergawa also used the previous name to appease the natives, so it didn't change its name and is still called Moergawa, but the entire Guo Jia has actually adopted the surname Mao.

The current Emperor is called Mao Sharlu, and has been in power for ten years. Although he hasn't had any major achievements, he's considered quite steady, and so foreign forces have entered our country.

Those people promote ideas like human rights and freedom, instilling many special ideologies, claiming that now the entire world is a capitalist society where there should be equality for all, and there is no place for an Emperor.

At that time, we also went to listen. What those people said was very inflammatory, inciting anger and indignation, and they often spoke like this. Of course, Mao Sharlu was not pleased, as this equated to a threat to his rule, so he wanted to drive those people away."

Li Wu continued, "This matter was originally that simple: someone threatened the Mao Emperor's rule, so the Mao Emperor started cracking down. Naturally, those people were not pleased, as it violated their promotion of human rights and freedom.

Thus, the struggle began. They had money and could persuade people, so they easily instigated Song Mingyi."

Ling Zhenfei was taken aback: "Who is this Song Mingyi?"

Li Wu said, "This Song Mingyi is now the leader of the rebels. He has already proclaimed himself a king and has received support from foreign forces, making his power very strong now."

Ling Zhenfei was even more confused after hearing this, as it was different from what he had heard from the outside.

"No, what I heard from you and what people outside say is not the same. They say Mao Sharlu's rule is very corrupt, so people want a revolution, but the foreign forces support Mao Sharlu, not Song Mingyi.

But now you say foreign forces support Song Mingyi. Who is right and who is wrong here?"

Zhang Bin said, "Indeed, it's as we said. The foreign forces control external public opinion, making the whole world think like that, believing that foreign forces should support the country's ruler.

But in fact, they want to establish a new world. Currently, although Moergawa is a feudal society where the Emperor has absolute power, it's not like he kills people at whim; there are laws, not as outsiders say it is."

Ling Zhenfei said, "So, do you think Mao Sharlu's governance of the world is not bad?"

Li Wu said, "Anyway, at that time, I could live peacefully without having to be a pirate every day. Who wouldn't want to live in peace?"

Ling Zhenfei was very surprised in his heart; it truly overturned his three views. He didn't know how to change the idea he had held for so long.

He always thought Mao Sharlu was that kind of wicked emperor who killed whoever he wanted, and that the Revolutionary Army was righteous for wanting to overthrow the Emperor and restore human rights. But now thinking about it, it seems to not be the case.

Mao Sharlu is governing a pretty good country, so why overthrow it? It's completely unreasonable.

"Actually, if you think about it, Brother Ling, if Mao Sharlu's rule was really unpopular, wouldn't Song Mingyi's rebellion have met an overwhelming response? But the result is not like that; now Mao Sharlu's prestige is still very high."

After hearing Zhang Bin's words, Ling Zhenfei indeed felt it was like that. If Mao Sharlu was really unpopular, someone would have rebelled long ago; there was no need for others to incite.

"Then what does this Song Mingyi do, and how does he have the strength to rebel?" Ling Zhenfei asked curiously.

Li Wu said, "In our country, besides the Emperor, there are three Princes who live on Nakajima and a small island, and another one manages the surrounding islands, like four provinces.

The Emperor manages the largest province, while the remaining three Princes manage the remaining two big islands and the surrounding small islands. Song Mingyi is the Prince of the small island, and this has been passed down from hundreds of years ago."

Ling Zhenfei nodded in understanding, and asked: "Then what are the attitudes of the other two Princes?"

The Prince of Nakajima is called Zhou Kui. He is a typical two-faced figure; now his attitude is very ambivalent and he is still in a wait-and-see phase.

Ling Zhenfei laughed: "This Zhou Kui is really a fool. What they're overthrowing is the feudal system; if it's overturned, what business will he, as Prince, have, yet he still wavers—what a joke."

Li Wu said, "The other Prince is our boss. Our boss is Gu Feng, and our boss is also helpless now because among the three Princes, our Prince is the most miserable, all surrounded by small islands, without money."

Ling Zhenfei said, "So what is Gu Feng's attitude? Is he supporting Mao Sharlu or Song Mingyi?"

Zhang Bin said, "Our boss's heart leans towards Mao Sharlu. After all, it's the country built together by our ancestors; if it breaks down, it won't be good for anyone. But now, our boss is still a bit hesitant."

"What's there to hesitate?" Ling Zhenfei was very curious.

Zhang Bin said, "Because our boss has the least money and the least strength, so now he dares not offend anyone."

Ling Zhenfei was really very depressed, truly unable to imagine such a situation, where one of the Princes in his own country was a rebel, and the other two dared not intervene; it really broke his heart.

Ling Zhenfei said, "I believe the two Princes are not just watching; they have their own plans. I believe they know how strong they are. Mao Sharlu has his army, and Song Mingyi has the support of foreign forces.

But Gu Feng's two men have the weakest strength, and picking the wrong side means disaster. They must have talked with both Song Mingyi and Mao Sharlu, and the offered terms are quite tempting, so they're very hesitant."

"Your analysis is probably correct, so now the situation is in a stalemate, but there should be some changes soon," Zhang Bin said with a smile.

Ling Zhenfei was stunned: "What do you mean?"

Zhang Bin said, "Recently, both sides have been fighting fiercely, with foreign forces sending both guns and money to Song Mingyi. Recently, it seems another large batch of weapons is about to be transported here.

These weapons are the most advanced. If Song Mingyi gets the weapons, it would be like adding wings to a tiger, so it can quickly decide the winner. After fighting for so many years, those with a poor foundation will eventually lose."

Zhang Bin was right; what is a war about now? It's about money; whoever has money can win.

But now Moergawa is already poor. Now with the war, Mao Sharlu has no tax income; where is the money? Who knows how long it can last?

Ling Zhenfei said, "We were born of the same root; why should we hurry to burn each other? It's all about interests, isn't it?"

Zhang Bin asked, "Brother Ling, what's your situation? Are you here for tourism?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "It's New Year's, how would I have time to travel? It's because of you in Moergawa that I'm here.

Zhang Bin asked, "What's going on exactly, do you need our help?"

Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment, maybe help is indeed needed. My girlfriend came here to travel and was kidnapped by someone from Nakajima, so I came to save her."

Li Wu laughed, "Then that person is really unlucky, kidnapping no one else but Brother Ling's girlfriend."
