Fight for hegemony from a desert island

Chapter 403 Choice
In October of the big weekend, Ryukyu, Yahai City.

As Xuzhou's old Zhu's house began to impose a sea ban, one bad news after another was continuously sent to Liu Cheng.

In just half a month's time, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Qingzhou, Jizhou, Youzhou and other coastal states and counties have all imposed sea bans, and all assets under Liu Cheng's command in these five states have been frozen.

This is a huge trouble for Liu Cheng.

It's not just about the assets in the five states, but more importantly, what the five states clearly released at this time does not mean that Liu Cheng is playing.

Almost all the powers issued similar sea ban orders at the same time, strictly restricting the people of the Great Zhou to go to sea, and at the same time strictly restricting trade with maritime merchants.

What they are playing is to ban Liu Cheng, the overlord of the sea, to death.

This frightened many pirates and sea merchants all over the world. After all, the actions of the major forces would cut off their livelihoods.

So in the past half a month, the East China Sea has been better, but the remaining three seas will inevitably have some turmoil.

"Has it finally begun?"

As the lord of the world, when Liu Cheng knew about this situation, his attitude was unexpectedly calm, even with a hint of awakening.

In fact, Liu Cheng had realized this situation long ago.

This kind of consciousness was there when Wang Fugui was taken down.

Liu Cheng knew very well who those Wuhun forces were, and at the same time, he knew even more what kind of attitude these Wuhun forces had toward the sea.

Although there are many historical reasons for this, the considerable fact is that none of the martial arts forces have an open attitude towards seafaring merchants.

And more importantly, there are now many forces in the Great Zhou, and all kinds of fish and dragons are mixed. In this environment, and on the premise that the two sides have not reached a strategic consensus, it is normal for this situation to happen.

So Liu Cheng already knew about it almost after he unified the world, or it can be said that he was waiting for this kind of thing to happen.

But now that this kind of thing has really happened, all major forces are implementing sea bans.

At this time, Liu Cheng had two choices, or take this opportunity to implement the sea closure policy himself.

Since you don't want to play with me, then I won't take you on a wave, everyone will play in their own way.

This is a good idea. Anyway, the sea is rich in products, and Liu Cheng is already vigorously developing agriculture. Even if he does not rely on Da Zhou's materials, he will not starve to death.

Moreover, with the current situation of the Great Zhou, the feudal lords are separated, and many materials such as food and metals are controlled items, and it is difficult for Liu Cheng to obtain them from the Great Zhou.

Coupled with the powder keg situation that may erupt at any time, it is also a way for Liu Cheng to play his own game.

As long as he can control the sea power and work hard on intelligence, Liu Chengcheng can hang overseas to watch the show alone.

Sit and watch the wind and waves rise and fall in the Great Zhou, and when they are almost done fighting, Liu Cheng's own side is almost developed, and it will not be too late to kill the Great Zhou.

In addition to this one, Liu Cheng has another choice, which is to strive for common development with various forces in the Great Zhou.

To do this, Liu Cheng also has two choices.

One is to brighten the muscles, find a soft persimmon, press it on the ground and beat him up, beat him up and subdue him, force him to sign a treaty that humiliates the country, and knocks on the door of trade with a strong posture.

Another is to follow the policy of softness, find a force to know its interests, move it based on the situation, and reach a strategic cooperation.

Although the methods are different, in the final analysis it still means the same thing, that is to play with Da Zhou.

These two options or approaches have their own advantages, but also have certain problems.

And no matter which one Liu Cheng chooses, it will have an impact on the current environmental development of his territory to a certain extent, so this time Liu Cheng did not make the decision alone, but sent someone to take Zheng Lin, Tie Lanying, Jiang Yuan invited over, together with his confidantes such as Li Dajiang, Yan Feng, and Zeng Wenli, to discuss this issue together.

This is the first time for Liu Cheng to discuss with them such a problem that affects the development of the territory in such a democratic manner, which is quite significant in significance.

However, it was one thing for Liu Cheng to discuss the issue with them, but it was another for them to dare to speak up.

Needless to say, the system headed by Li Dajiang, Liu Cheng's orders are all they have, and generally they will not make any suggestions.

As far as Feng Zengwen, a direct descendant of the native lineage, knew Liu Cheng better.

They knew Liu Cheng's character very well, and knew that Liu Cheng probably already had the answer in his mind when he asked this question, so they didn't say anything.

Liu Cheng's direct confidantes dare not say anything, how dare the puppet subordinates Zheng Lin and Tie Lanying dare to say anything?
They are not stupid, how could they not know, in fact, Liu Cheng probably already has some ideas in his mind, and it may be a direction they don't quite accept.

This time Liu Cheng came to them to discuss whether the policy was false, but the real purpose was to test their attitude.

In this case, for them, this meeting is very likely to be a grand banquet. If they make random announcements or accidentally say something wrong, they may end up being destroyed humanely by Liu Cheng.

So these three, just sat there throughout the whole process, put on an attitude of Mr. Liu Cheng being wise and powerful, and you can do whatever you say, and never publish anything unless it is absolutely necessary, which made the meeting cold for a while.

After a moment of silence, Liu Cheng knocked on the table: "Well, since everyone is undecided, let's do it for the time being and send someone to talk to those forces."

Hearing this, the expressions on the faces of the three of Zheng Lin changed somewhat.

In fact, although these three people did not dare to express anything, they still had a tendency to respond this time.

Compared with Liu Cheng Fenghai's development, they hope to continue to trade.

After all, if Liu Cheng is really developed by Feng Hai, they don't know whether Liu Cheng can develop or not, but they are very clear about one thing, that is, their current importance will definitely decline slowly over time.

At this time, they can still control the trade of the three seas, but they have no rights in Zhenfenghai.

Not only can they no longer make money, but it is even very likely that their current positions will be slowly replaced by Liu Chengzhen's confidantes.

So when they heard that Liu Cheng was going to talk to Xuzhou, the three of them couldn't help being overjoyed.

Liu Cheng could see this change in them...
