In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, the situation in the southern part of the Liaodong Peninsula has always been relatively complicated. Before the braggart king Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong and overthrew the Dongjiang army, the Later Jin Jurchen side had already occupied major cities in southern Liaoning, such as Jinzhou Wei, Fuzhou Weigai, Zhou Wei and Haizhou Wei.

Before Mao Wenlong's death, the Dongjiang Army had been based on the islands around southern Liaoning, and with the help of a large number of Han people in southern Liaoning who were oppressed and exploited by the Later Jin Jurchen people, it carried out uninterrupted military strikes against the Later Jin Jurchen forces in southeastern Liaoning.

A series of actions of the Dongjiang Army effectively responded to the Ming army on the battlefield in western Liaoxi, and to a certain extent, contained the military strength of the Later Jin Jurchen.

During this stage, the Dongjiang Army relied on its naval superiority and the Later Jin Jurchen side to launch a tug-of-war in southern Liaoning. At Lushunkou in southern Liaoning, Jinzhou Wei and Fuzhou Wei repeatedly changed hands between the Dongjiang Army and the Later Jin Jurchen.

However, on the one hand, because the Later Jin Jurchen had already taken away the Han people in southern Liaoning, the massacre of the massacre had turned the entire southern Liaoning region into a sparsely populated and desolate area. Therefore, the value of the southern Liaoning area to Dongjiang Town is limited. On the other hand, because the Later Jin Jurchens had always been in an advantageous position in land warfare, the control of the southern Liaoning region was mainly in the hands of the Later Jin Jurchens.

The Ming Dynasty completely lost control of the entire southern Liaoning region after 1628. On the one hand, the DPRK side has injected vitality into the Houjin side of the post-Kim side that is about to collapse the economy. On the other hand, because of the wrong decisions of the Ming Dynasty and Yuan Chonghuan's indiscriminate command. In particular, Yuan Chonghuan's private killing of Mao Wenlong without the will of the imperial court not only fundamentally destroyed the combat effectiveness of the Dongjiang Army, but also left a foreshadowing for the Wuqiao Mutiny, which later led to the total chaos of the Jiaodong Peninsula.

However, during this period of time in 1628, although he was holding the highest decision-making power of the entire Ming Dynasty over the military and political affairs of the Later Jin Juzhen, Yuan Chonghuan, whose position was to supervise Jiliao and Denglai, and Tianjin military affairs, was very hostile to the ** status of the Dongjiang Army. However, he did not have time to attack the Dongjiang Army. During this time, Mao Wenlong and his Dongjiang army were still active in the Liaohai Sea and on the islands off the northern coast of Korea.

However, Donggang Town, which numbered more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians, was betrayed by the North Korean government last year, and the Donggang army lost a large amount of vital force in the battle with the Later Jin Jurchen. The current Dongjiang town is on the defensive as a whole.

However, although the Dongjiang army suffered huge losses in the Battle of Dingmao in 1627, the Dongjiang army also inflicted heavy casualties on the Later Jin Jurchens in the northern region of Korea. As the main force of the Houjin side to attack Dongjiang Town, Amin's blue flag and Azig's white flag were seriously weakened.

In this case, Dongjiang Town and Houjin Jurchen all turned to a defensive state, each licking their wounds in their own sphere of influence.

In May 1628, after the construction of the Jeju Island military base was fully completed, the 800-ton hybrid coastal fleet assigned by the Central Military to Jeju Island took on the coastal defense task of the Jeju Island base. The reorganized Baath Navy's First Fleet departed from the Jeju Island Fleet Base, which had just completed the first phase of port construction, carrying 2,000 Marines to its destination of Weihaewei.

The straight-line distance from Jeju Island to Weihaiwei is 500 nautical miles. If there is a direct flight from Jeju Island to Geumjuwei, the sea distance between the two places will not exceed 700 nautical miles. According to the average speed of the revival Navy 15 knots. It takes almost two days and two nights to reach Jinzhouwei.

However, according to the plan of the Central Military Commission, the First Fleet will not sail directly to Jinzhouwei, and they will first dock at the Baath Party base in Weihaiwei to replenish coal and water to reorganize the ranks.

In fact, as early as the beginning of 1627, the Baathists had already sent people by land to buy land for construction in a seaside fishing village near Weihaiwei.

The sea breeze in May is still quite hard. Whether it was the Navy soldiers on the warships or the Marines on the dual-purpose gunboats, they were all wearing winter uniforms. Unlike these soldiers, Xu Yuanzhi, the commander of the First Fleet, has already changed into spring and autumn clothes.

The Baath Party's military uniform is in the style of the People's Liberation Army's 65-style military uniform. It's not that Wang Shuhui doesn't like the kind of crisp chemical fiber and woolen military uniforms, but at the present stage, the Hanjiang Oilfield, the only oil field in the area controlled by the Ba'ath Party, is still under preliminary construction, and the Baath Party's oil industry has just begun to develop and has not yet entered the stage of a relatively high-level petrochemical industry. Without the petrochemical industry, there would be no chemical fiber materials used in the textile industry. Without the petrochemical industry, there would be no such straight military uniforms that could be equipped on a large scale.

Moreover, in Wang Shuhui's view, the 65-style military uniform is the military uniform style that can best reflect the unity of officers and soldiers and the equality of everyone. This is in line with the current structure of the Ba'ath Army. However, unlike the traditional 65-style military uniform, the military uniform of the Renaissance Army has a military rank mark. These rank insignia are embodied in the form of armbands. In addition, the military uniform of the Baxing Army is exactly the same as the 65-style military uniform.

The uniform of the Revival Navy is blue. The material, like the Army's uniforms, is made from the finest chinos that the Baath Party's textile mills can produce at the moment. At the present stage, although the development of the Baath Party's printing and dyeing industry far exceeds the level of the same era, it is also subject to the development of the chemical industry, and the problem of the fading of military uniforms is relatively serious.

There is a big problem with cotton clothing, that is, clothes made of this material are generally more prone to deformation, shrinkage and wrinkles. Let's take Wang Shuhui as an example. The few military uniforms he wore without badges, cockades, and armbands were all pleated and shapeless. Especially because Wang Shuhui never wears an armed belt, so these cotton military uniforms look particularly unsightly on Wang Shuhui.

One of the negative evaluations of the 65-style military uniform in later generations is that it is a little too earthy. Especially after washing it several times, such clothes are very unsightly to wear. However, one of the main reasons for Wang Shuhui to choose the 65-style military uniform is the rustic spirit of the 65-style military uniform. It is precisely because of this rustic atmosphere that the true character of the Revival Army as a soldier of the people is particularly demonstrated.

However, what is more surprising is that this kind of cotton military uniform, which is very easy to deform, wrinkle and shrink, does not have a rustic taste on Xu Yuanzhi. I don't know if Xu Yuanzhi has any special tricks, anyway, his dark blue Navy uniform of the Revival Army has no wrinkles at all, just like new clothes.

Although it was already mid-May, the wind in the Yellow Sea was still quite hard. Xu Yuanzhi, who was on the deck observing the surrounding situation with a telescope, was blown red by the sea breeze after a while.

Sun Guocheng, chief of the general staff of the fleet, who was standing next to Xu Yuanzhi, saw that Xu Yuanzhi had begun to have a runny nose, so he immediately reminded Xu Yuanzhi's guards a few words.

After less than a minute, Xu Yuanzhi's guard came over with a military coat and put it on Xu Yuanzhi
