Daming: I, Zhu Di, threatened to seize the heir apparent at the beginning!

Chapter 510 Bombardment of Tuqiao Village! Something happened to Xu Miaoyun!
bang bang bang...

Standing in the courtyard arranged for them by the Huitong Pavilion, Tupolo looked up at the blue sky, and then an explosion sounded.

A small cloud of white smoke always appears.

After appearing, it was quickly blown away by the high-altitude wind.

He couldn't help but frown slightly.

Why suddenly, the entire Jinling City seemed to be going crazy.

There were firecrackers everywhere.

too weird.

Is it because the locust plague in the demonstration area has been contained?

Not right either.

This news was delivered to Jinling before they arrived.

"Big news! Big news!"

At this moment, Tuohuan, who had arrived in Jinling as a hostage, rushed in. When he passed the gate arch of the other courtyard, he dropped his shoes and didn't care. With one foot bare, he ran all the way to the bald Polo, holding his hands on it. Knees, panting: "Great victory in the South China Sea! Great victory in the South China Sea, Zhu Silang's sixteen armored ships wiped out 230 warships of the Chen Dynasty!"

hiss!
The eyes of Tupolo and all the members of the envoy to the Ming Dynasty widened in an instant.

Tupolo's whole body was shrouded in a thick cold air.

His bones were chilled.

After a long time, his lips moved, and a trembling voice sounded, "Outside...are the people of Jinling outside celebrating the victory of King Yan Zhu Di?"

Tuo Huan's face was slightly pale and he nodded.

For a moment, the entire courtyard fell into a dead silence.

The atmosphere of shock is still lingering.

But everyone present didn't know what to say.

Hey……

After a long while, Tupolo sighed, turned around, and looked at the eldest son of the three families, headed by Tuo Huan, who wanted to stay in Jinling as hostage, "Now we should understand why Chief Mahamu is so eager to industrialize our grassland, right?" ?”

Even if he was having sex, he nodded subconsciously.

Don’t do it again.

They are Chen Chao!

Do not!
Even worse than Chen Chao!

It is said that the Chen Dynasty has been imitating Yanhua in industrialization.

Among the 230 warships of the Chen Dynasty, there are dozens of hybrid warships called Duke-class by Yanhua.

But there is a regime that is following Yanhua's lead in industrialization.

During the conflict with Yanhua.

230 warships!

They were actually wiped out by Yanhua's sixteen armored ships!
Tupolo looked at Tuo Huan and the others, obviously very shocked, and smiled and encouraged: "Our opponent is Daming, a man who carries a heavy burden. Some people have already thought of throwing away these burdens. Traveling lightly is the Ming Dynasty’s revolutionary faction.”

"But there are still very large vested interests. These burdens are a means to consolidate their interests. These people cling to the heavy burdens inherited from the Central Plains for thousands of years and do not want to let go. Therefore, the road to industrialization in the Ming Dynasty is destined to be There is no way to compare with Yanhua, they lack a hero like Zhu Di!"

"On the other hand, we have a leader like Mahamu who has stayed in Yanhua for several years."

……

"So, it is not that the grassland with Ming Dynasty as its opponent has no chance."

"But Mahamu alone is not enough. You young people must also actively seek change and innovation!"

……

The entrance to the imperial study room.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao's back leaving in the chariot, frowned slightly, and sighed silently.

'I hope this news can give Biao'er some touch and some warning! '

Laosi's fleet has the power to defeat the entire navy of the Chen Dynasty.

In fact, it is equivalent to having the strength to defeat all the navies of the current imperial court!

The size of the imperial navy was stronger than that of the Chen Dynasty, but not much.

Lao Si's move this time was of course to destroy the Chen Dynasty.

But it is also a sharp counterattack against what Biao'er has done over the years.

First, Yanhua's naval power was demonstrated to Zhongyuan and all the people in the Prince's family headed by Biao'er.

Secondly, get rid of Chen Chao, Biao'er's starting point for intervening in South China Sea affairs in the future.

Zhu Yuanzhang gathered his thoughts, turned his head, looked at Zhou Chao who was standing silently beside him, and asked with a smile: "Xiao Zhou Chao, tell me, in the future, if your master and the prince have a conflict, what will happen to Master Qin?"

Fang Xiaoru was slightly surprised.

But he also looked at Zhou Chao.

Zhou Chao was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses and said loudly: "Master, master doesn't want this to happen."

"Little slippery man!"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and joked, and continued to ask: "Tell me about the various groups in Yanhua. What is your attitude towards this kind of thing?"

Zhou Chao had calmed down, and after a brief thought, he solemnly said: "Master, all groups in Yanhua have always had a good impression of the Ming Dynasty. Even the locals under the rule of Yanhua and the Mongolian immigrants are accepting the descendants of the Yanhuang people." After this fact, the same is true. We have never wanted to have any conflict of interests with Ming Dynasty. We even believe that as long as both parties can live in harmony, in some aspects, we are even willing to give up benefits to the Central Plains..."

"This can be seen from the low-priced grains transported to the Central Plains over the years, and we can see the attitude of Yanhua farmers towards the Central Plains."

"The support for industrial and commercial owners in Fujian also revealed the attitude of industrial and commercial owners and workers towards the Ming Dynasty under Yanhua's rule."

"Over the years, the Navy has been providing technical equipment to the Ming Navy. Later, it transferred complete sets of hybrid equipment technology to the Ming Navy for free..."

At the beginning, the prince used the Yanhua Jinyiwei system to transfer the hybrid technology to the Chen Dynasty.

However, the Ming Navy headed by Yu Tongzhi was determined not to learn these techniques from the Chen Dynasty.

Chen Chao even took the initiative to send people to deliver these technologies to the Ming Navy, but the Ming Navy drove them away.

Instead, the Ming Dynasty Navy, headed by Yu Tongzhi, collectively wrote a letter of apology to the master, tentatively asking if they could license the hybrid technology to the Ming Dynasty for a fee.

The Ming Navy can be purchased with Navy funds. If the purchase funds are not enough, I hope to pay in installments.

The master left the matter directly to the Cabinet and the Admiralty for decision.

Ultimately, the decision was made jointly by the Cabinet and the Admiralty.

No patent fees will be charged, and all technologies of the hybrid warship will be used free of charge by the Ming Dynasty Navy Shipyard.

Moreover, Jilongyu Shipyard also sent technical craftsmen to provide guidance.

"Master, this cooperation shows Yanhua's official attitude towards our Ming Dynasty. I can say with absolute certainty that at least 90% of the people in Yanhua have never thought about returning to the Central Plains to fight for anything. From the top to the master, to the bottom To ordinary people, our goal is to build Yanhua into a prosperous and powerful regime, and at the same time, use the wealth created and the technology invented to continue to explore the depths of the blue water..."

……

“After the first expedition, it turns out that there is vast, fertile and undeveloped land deep in the blue water!”

"We don't want to come back and compete with the Central Plains for the interests of this stock."

“The benefits of expanding overseas are even greater and more challenging for us!”

……

"In fact, with the emergence of steam power, we now have the ability to explore deeper into blue water, but now, we do not have a sufficient population."

……

Zhou Chao's words made everyone in Yanhua unwilling to return to the Ming Dynasty to fight for the stock.

It had a great impact on Zhu Yuanzhang.

Even, no less than, Yanhua Navy's victory in the South China Sea.

"I heard that last year, you had a private expedition team composed of retired navy officers and set off from Xu Fu Province?"

Zhou Chao couldn't keep up with Zhu Yuanzhang's jumping thoughts. He was slightly stunned and nodded with a smile: "Well, this master must have some impressions. Chief Tan Wu, they plan to start from Xufu Province and explore northward along the northern coastline. Last year Before setting off, they had actually spent a year exploring north."

"A strait was discovered near the northern edge of the Pacific Ocean. This strait was named Tanwu Strait by the prince..."

……

"When this strait was discovered, it was already autumn, and more than ten centimeters of ice had already appeared in the strait..."

"So, they retreated and set out from Xufu Province last spring, hoping to cross the strait during the autumn ice period and explore the other side. However, when they arrived in the strait in the summer and were preparing to cross the sea, they sent someone to send back the news. It shows that there are ice floes in this strait even in summer, but I don’t know where it is now..."

Zhou Chao said with regret on his face.

At that time, he was observing and studying plant cells with the help of a microscope.

Moreover, last year, there was news that the number of locusts in the demonstration area had further increased.

So he didn't leave with the expedition team.

It’s Jin Mi.

I went on an adventure with the expedition team again.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Zhou Chao's face was full of remorse, and he didn't know what this kid was thinking. He smiled and said: "Well, this time you have made outstanding contributions in helping the court to eliminate locusts. My master doesn't know what to reward you. I will give you Yanhua and 300,000 relocation quotas." , it is said that in Fujian in recent years, as the children of your age have grown up, there has been a big discussion about the inheritance of shares in local village communities. Should the eldest son inherit it, or should the children share it equally? In the eldest son's inheritance, how will other brothers live? .”

……

"Let's do it this way. In the Fujian Province, any legitimate second son or concubine who wishes to develop overseas can move to Yanhua."

He was rewarding Zhou Chao and helping the fourth child increase his population.

If the Chen Dynasty is annexed by Laosi, there will basically be no problems.

However, the demographic structure of the Chen Dynasty was far from ideal.

There are too many locals.

There were too few immigrants who arrived in the Chen Dynasty from the Central Plains in the past dynasties.

It is not conducive to the rapid assimilation of the Chen Dynasty after Lao Si ruled the Chen Dynasty.

The current cultural customs in Fujian are almost similar to those in Yanhua. This group of people migrated to the Chen Dynasty.

You can quickly bring Yanhua's new culture to the Chen Dynasty.

Of course, he had other purposes.

That is to deepen the connection between Yanhua and Fujian.

These second sons and concubines moved to Yanhua, and many of their relatives remained in Fujian.

This is very beneficial for Yanhua to support Fujian.

In the future, some of Biao'er's actions will lead to a complete interruption of official ties between Yanhua and Ming Dynasty.

Non-governmental economic, trade and cultural exchanges will not be interrupted.

As long as Fujian is preserved as a window for accepting new trends, the fire will be preserved for heroes to innovate in the Ming Dynasty in the future.

Also for Yanhua and Ming Dynasty, in the future period of political indifference.

No, the public sentiment is also indifferent.

That was all he could do.

……

at the same time.

East Palace.

After Zhu Biao returned to the East Palace, he locked himself in the study.

People like Hu Weiyong and Lu Ben, who had heard the news of the victory in the South China Sea, stood outside the study, looking around anxiously, but could not see Zhu Biao.

More impatient.

Under the bright sun.

Lu Ben's face was extremely pale.

Sixteen ships fought against 230 ships, and they won a huge victory!

The Yanhua navy is too scary.

How can we defeat Yanhua in the future?

Also.

Chen Dynasty is over.

Without Chen Chao as a starting point, Yanhua would not be able to attack Yanhua in the South China Sea in the future!
Lu Ben looked at a group of prince's subordinate officials gathered together in small groups, talking quietly with serious expressions. He turned to look at the closed study and asked in a low voice: "Hu Xiang, can we find a way to get Yanhua?" Steam engine technology? Ironclad ship manufacturing technology?”

Theft and misappropriation before.

Now, even if he asks Yanhua for help in a low voice, I am afraid that Yanhua will not transfer these advanced technologies to the imperial court.

There are a few people in the court, and as long as they ask, Zhu Silang will probably agree.

Emperor Zhu, the Queen, Zhu Xiongying, and Concubine Taisun picked green.

But these four people definitely won’t.

They even hoped that the prince would take the initiative to speak to Zhu Silang!
Hu Weiyong rolled his eyes, "Master Lu, even if we get these technologies, can we build them?"

The businessmen of the Ming Dynasty were still unable to fully understand the previous technologies and were unable to unleash the full potential of those backward technologies.

Steam engines, ironclad ships...

These technologies are more advanced.

more complicated.

He can be 100% sure that even if they can successfully obtain these technical drawings, they will not be able to produce them!
……

No one knew what Zhu Biao was thinking at this moment.

In short, Hongwu twenty-eight years.

In the last few months, Ming Dynasty was very lively.

The locust plague was successfully contained by the Yanhua rescue team, and the rescue team was invited to the grassland by Ximengu to help him control the locust plague.

After Zhu Yuanzhang briefly stayed in Jinling for a month.

Give power to Zhu Biao again.

He took Zhu Xiongying back to Fengyang Capital.

Although the conservatives agreed to Zhu Yuanzhang that Fujian people could move to Yanhua as long as they wanted, they were very uncomfortable.

But no one dared to question Zhu Yuanzhang's decision.

When Zhu Yuanzhang left.

An order was issued to separate the military and political affairs in the Mongolian-Han Demonstration Zone and to establish the Chief Envoy's Office in the Mongolian-Han Demonstration Zone.

Lian Zining, a reformist, was appointed as the first chief envoy of the demonstration area, and Zhang Yu served as deputy chief envoy to assist.

... Xu Miaoyun, accompanied by Crown Princess Chang, went to Fengyang to visit Xu Dahou.

He began to accompany Ma Xiuying to various vassal fiefdoms.

He said he was accompanying Ma Xiuying.

In fact, it was Ma Xiuying who provided cover for Xu Miaoyun.

At least, that's how it seems to conservatives in the Ming Dynasty.

All the vassal kings originally worshiped their fourth brother and fourth sister-in-law.

In recent years, Yan Hua has received a lot of help in establishing the feudal king's guard.

The vassal kings received Xu Miaoyun's visit with a very high standard.

The specifications of Qin King Zhu Xi made the conservatives in the court criticize and impeach him.

Because Xu Miaoyun visited Peking.

King Qin Zhu Fang pulled out the new troops from the two towns under his command and asked Xu Miaoyun to review them. Fortunately, they were also accompanied by Ma Xiuying, Crown Princess Chang, and a group of female relatives of the Zhu family royal family.

Xu Miaoyun was at the end of the 28th year of Hongwu.

From Hebei, take the Yanhua battleship, leave Daming, and go to Xufu Province.

……

Kyoto.

The original Japanese Imperial Palace.

Now after simple repairs and reconstruction according to the Yanhua style, it has become a summer palace belonging to the royal family.

However, this time of year.

Xufu Province is relatively cold and not as pleasant and comfortable as Yanjing.

However, after the war in the Chen Dynasty was basically stable.

Zhu Di also rushed to Xu Fu Province.

Also accompanying him were senior officials headed by the Yanhua Cabinet.

This trip to celebrate the festival in Xufu Province is to stabilize the people of Xufu Province.

……

Zhu Di arrived that night.

In the hot springs of the Summer Palace.

Zhu Di looked at Xu Miaoyun, who was wearing a light gauze and blushing while bathing in the hot spring, and said with a smile: "From the ninth year of Hongwu to now, after the Chinese New Year, we have been together day and night for 20 years, and you still wrap yourself up tightly when bathing in a hot spring. Really, my face is as red as a peach..."

Xu Miaoyun smiled and scowled, "I'm blushing because it's too hot here, who is so shy!"

It's a good look, and it's strong even if you can't be straight.

Zhu Di couldn't help but be amused.

He stretched out his hand to hug the person in his arms and asked, "How was your time after you went back this time?"

"I'm very happy!" Xu Miaoyun smiled and said: "Who gave me a good husband? No matter where I go, I am treated warmly. My second brother is even more special. When we went to Peking with our mother, he suppressed the two vassal princes. He was taken directly outside the city gate and a long red carpet was laid out for us to review. When I left, I heard that many people in the court were impeaching him."

"This Zhu Laoer!"

Zhu Di couldn't help but smiled bitterly and shook his head.

He knew that the second brother was using this method to thank him for his support and help over the years.

But Zhu Laoer's character has not changed after so many years.

Many times we do things without considering the consequences.

However, the father, the emperor, and the empress were still alive, so they knew that the second brother's transgressive behavior was out of emotion.

Moreover, the queen mother was also present at that time.

"That's right." Xu Miaoyun raised her head, "Before leaving, my mother told me that my father had promised to personally find a good match for Yong Ming."

"It's hard for the old man." Zhu Di sighed.

This is the father's love for Yong Ming.

It was also the father's good intention to deepen the relationship between Ming Dynasty and Yanhua.

My father must choose a good match for Yong Ming in the Central Plains.

"Just follow your father's wishes, but tell Yong Ming in advance that he will stay in Xufu Province for another year next year. The Japanese who don't want to stay will be transferred next year, and then they will be allowed to return to the Central Plains. , go to Fengyang and fulfill your filial piety for us."

Xu Miaoyun was silent for a moment and whispered: "Is Yong Ming in danger?"

There are too many people who hate Shiro.

There is no guarantee that some people will not target Yong Ming.

By now, everyone knows that Shilang is cultivating Yong Ming and will take on the important responsibility of Yan Hua in the future.

Zhu Di lowered his head and smiled, "You can't grow the most delicate and strong flowers in a greenhouse. Coming to Xufu Province to take charge is an experience, and returning to the complex environment of Ming Dynasty is even more of an experience. Don't worry, I will make some preparations, and , as well as the father, the emperor and the queen, everything will be fine."

Xu Miaoyun nodded.

Yong Ming really needs experience.

Yanhua was a fragmented political power held together by Shiro's forcible use of force and personal prestige.

Although the effect of assimilation is obvious.

But I want to really stabilize the effect of assimilation.

Not fifty years is impossible.

This requires that the successor has high abilities!

……

At a certain moment, Zhu Di felt his chest being scratched by a kitten's claws. He lowered his head and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"

Xu Miaoyun raised her head, her pretty face flushed, "Have you forgotten what you promised me when you left?"

"What's the matter?" Zhu Di asked knowingly.

Xu Miaoyun gritted her teeth angrily, her pretty face flushed, and said angrily: "If you don't remember, forget it, I won't give birth!"

After saying that, he turned around and left angrily.

Ah!
Before the person stepped out of the hot spring pool, a cry of surprise rang out.

……

At the end of the 29th year of Hongwu.

woo woo woo...

After the reconstruction, the Yanjing Century Bridge has an extra layer of bridge under the carriageway.

A steam locomotive, with five carriages hanging on it, drove over the iron bridge with the whistle buzzing and the wheels colliding with the rails, making a clicking sound.

Heading to Yanjing Railway Station in Xinjing City.

The people are already used to this.

The tracks in Central Luzon were fully constructed and opened to traffic a few months ago.

TRAIN STATION.

Zhu Di hurriedly got down from the middle car.

Qihua, Yongming, Dongxu and others who were waiting for Zhu Di on the platform rushed to greet him.

Zhu Di looked worried and asked with concern: "How is your mother?"

"Dad, my mother is fine. She gave birth successfully." Although Yong Ming was only fourteen years old, he already looked like an adult and replied calmly.

call!
Zhu Di breathed a sigh of relief and did not waste any time. After getting into the carriage, he asked, "Qihua, I asked you to take good care of your mother. How could this happen?"

After returning from Xufu Province, Miaoyun became pregnant.

According to the delivery date, it should be after the Spring Festival.

That's why he went to inspect various places before the Spring Festival.

But while she was still in central Luzon, she received news that Miaoyun had given birth prematurely and with difficulty!

Qihua knew very well how important her mother was in her father's heart, so she whispered: "Dad, after you left, the maritime merchant who came back from Jinling brought back a piece of news. When mother heard the news, she cried. And then premature labor happens…”

Zhu Di frowned slightly, "What news?"

Could it be that something happened to the father, emperor, mother, or Taishan?

It shouldn’t be!

Qihua secretly clenched her fists and shouted angrily: "The sea merchant brought back news that Tuqiao Village, our former home is gone!"

Zhu Di frowned even more tightly.

Yong Ming took over the conversation and explained: "Haishang said that the imperial court's Jingying conducted an exercise nearby. Lu Zhongheng's artillery battalion, under the control of the fifth town of Jingying, had errors in the artillery parameters during the exercise, resulting in the failure of its artillery. The battalion's bombardment was all aimed at Tuqiao Village. Our new house and small courtyard became the key coverage area of ​​​​accidental artillery fire. When the problem was discovered, the shelling was stopped. It is said that our small courtyard and new house have been Become a ruin..."

boom!
Don't wait for Yong Ming to finish.

Zhu Di's fist slammed on the chair.

Dongxu sat next to him, gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Master, this is not an accidental shooting at all, it was deliberately created by the conservatives!"

"Not long ago, the master informed the court that he would send his junior brother back to Fengyang after the new year to fulfill his filial piety for the master. But how long has it been since our village was bombarded?"

Ostensibly shelling Tuqiao Village.

But in fact, this is the artillery master!

The conservatives of the Ming Dynasty are saying: They will greet their junior brother with cannons!

"Where is Lu Zhongheng?" Zhu Di asked in a cold voice: "No, court, how will your uncle deal with Lu Zhongheng?"

"There is no news about this yet. Dad, Uncle Amao has sent people from the Military Intelligence Department back to Jinling secretly."

……

Zhu Di was not talking.

I returned to the palace with a livid face all the way.

As soon as I stepped into the dormitory, I smelled a strong smell of medicine.

The anger in his heart suddenly bubbled up.

After so many years of marriage, he couldn't bear to let Miao Yun suffer even the slightest injustice.

But now...

it is good!very good!

Zhu Di tried to breathe in and suppress his anger, worrying that his emotions would affect Xu Miaoyun's recovery.

Then, quickly walked to the inner hall.

Several married girls, headed by Chunxiao, sat beside Xu Miaoyun's bedside with Wuyun and Toya.

When I saw Zhu Di.

Everyone stood up one after another.

"Sworn brother, fourth uncle, master..."

Zhu Di nodded and walked straight to Xu Miaoyun's bed. Wuyun signaled to the children, and they quietly exited and carefully closed the door.

"It must be Qihua and the others who made a fuss and called you back, right?" Xu Miaoyun looked pale and tried to force out a smile as she scolded.

Zhu Di felt distressed when he saw it. He sat down on the edge of the couch, grabbed Xu Miaoyun's cold little hand and held it tightly. "They dared to hide this matter. I found out afterwards that they would have to take action. They knew very well that you were with us." The status of family.”

Xu Miaoyun suddenly laughed.

A trace of blush appeared on his face, "Just spoil me and pamper me. Look how much you've spoiled me. Now I can't stand any anger at all. I blame you for even the smallest things."

"Yes, blame me, blame me, but I just want to spoil you and pamper you!"

Xu Miaoyun smiled sweetly, and tears suddenly fell from the corners of her eyes uncontrollably. She struggled hard and threw herself into Zhu Di's arms, covering her head on Zhu Di's chest. She cried softly and murmured: "Silang, in our previous home, there were me and You, the home with so many beautiful memories, are gone! They..."

Xu Miaoyun was like an injured kitten, crying uncomfortably.

Zhu Di is back.

Xu Miaoyun suddenly no longer had to pretend to be strong.

She doesn't want to be strong in front of Shiro!
"It's okay, it's okay. All our beautiful memories are in our memories. I haven't forgotten them at all. Do you still remember the first time you made wine with green apricots and you said to me very boldly, I don’t want to delay tonight…”

……

Zhu Di told Xu Miaoyun about the two of them in the mud hut in the courtyard and every detail after they moved to the new house.

gradually.

Xu Miaoyun's sobs became quieter.

After a long time, steady breathing came out.

Zhu Di carefully put the sleeping Xu Miaoyun away and covered him with a quilt.

He stood up, tiptoed, picked it up and put it down gently, and walked out.

Chunxiao was waiting in the outer hall.

After Zhu Di came out, he came up and said, "Master, my wife's condition is fine. Although it was difficult to give birth and the bleeding was a bit heavy, it did not damage her vitality. Next, I will take good care of my wife. There will be no sequelae. It's just , Master’s wife’s heart knot…”

Zhu Di breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that he was fine.

He nodded and looked at Chunxiao, who was wearing a white coat, "Thank you for having you, otherwise master, I really don't know what to do now."

Chunxiao smiled brightly and urged: "Master, my junior brother is next door. Go and have a look. I'll be waiting outside. When Master wakes up, I'll notify Master as soon as possible."

Zhu Di nodded and walked out.

Seeing the dark clouds standing outside the house, he smiled and thanked: "Thank you for your hard work during this time."

He simply said a few words to Wuyun and did not go to the next door.

Go straight to the study.

His face became increasingly gloomy and cold.

Mao Xiang was already waiting in the study.

After Zhu Di entered the study.

Mao Xiang took the initiative to close the door of the study room, came to Zhu Di's desk with a cold face, and reported: "Master, the Military Intelligence Department has got some information, but the master has not come back, so I didn't tell anyone."

"Say!" Zhu Di just spat out one word coldly, his words sounding like ice.

　Please ask for monthly tickets, recommended tickets, follow-up subscriptions, and full subscriptions.

　　It will be completed by mid-April at the latest.
