Dongyandun was originally a military stronghold under Weihaiwei.

In the Zhengde Jiajing era, which was seriously disturbed, Weihaiwei mainly undertook the task of coastal defense. The main role of a small fort like the East Chimney Pier is to communicate and warn. As soon as they saw a ship arriving at sea, the local defenders would light beacons to signal the attack.

During the reign of Jiajing and Longqing, the Ming Dynasty vigorously developed the navy on the one hand to combat the coastal Japanese forces, and on the other hand, it took the initiative to open the sea and legalize foreign trade. Thanks to these two efforts, the entire coastal region of China has calmed down.

Like all the local guards of the Ming Dynasty, with the development of time and the relaxation of armaments, Weihaiwei gradually declined. Places like Dongyandun were abandoned by Weihaiwei on their own initiative. In the middle of Wanli, Dongyandun became a village inhabited by local fishermen.

At the beginning of 1627, the Baath Party sent Song Xiance to make contact with the governor of Denglai, Yamen. Under the Silver Bullet Offensive, the Baath Party easily acquired the entire Dongyandun area.

In 1627, the Baath Party sent two battalions of 1,000 troops and six battalions of 3,000 troops to Dongyandun by land.

Under the maneuver of Song Xiance, the Baath Party recruited displaced people and refugees in the Dongyandun area, and it took less than half a year to establish a preliminarily complete fleet supply base.

When the First Fleet entered the Baath Party's East Chimney Base according to the nautical chart, it saw three cement concrete plank roads and complete steam-powered port loading equipment.

Although it had only been about half a year since they left Hubei, the officers and men of the First Fleet were still filled with a sense of intimacy when they saw this modern port full of the Baais-style style.

"You have had a hard time this year, and we haven't had a good time this year."

In an earthen house built using the method of dry base, Qian Aihua, political commissar of the East Yandun Base of the Baath Party, said to Wu Hongjie, political commissar of the First Fleet.

Wu Hongjie and Qian Aihua used to work together in a factory. At that time, Qian Aihua was the director of the factory, and Wu Hongjie was the party secretary. In less than a year, the two peers have enjoyed working together. After saluting each other and shaking hands warmly, Qian Aihua began to complain to Wu Hongjie as he did when he was in the team with his old partner in the past.

"Don't mention it, we're really tired along the way. The section from Jingzhou to Zhenjiang is easy to say, they all go by boat. The section from Zhenjiang to Jining did not encounter any major problems except for a few difficulties. The key is the way from Jining to Weihaiwei. Good guy, you really walked all the way and fought all the way. ”

At this stage, Shandong has not been poisoned by Kong Youde and Li Jiucheng, but under the influence of natural disasters caused by the climate of the Xiaoice River, the entire Shandong region is full of refugees. Under these circumstances, a large number of people who could not survive turned from homeless people to bandits. Bandits and bandits from all walks of life emerge in an endless stream on the ground in Shandong.

The distance from Jining to Weihaiwei is also more than 1,000 miles. In just over 1,000 miles, more than 500 people from one battalion of the first batch of troops at the Dongyandun base walked for more than 10 days. The road conditions are not good, and the difficulty of marching is only one of the small factors, mainly because the endless bandits and bandits have brought a lot of trouble to the troops.

These people say that they are bandits and bandits, but in fact, they are essentially ordinary people who can't get by. In addition to a few Shandong Xiangma, which were 100 times more serious, caused sporadic troubles to the troops, on the contrary, it was the robbery gangs composed of displaced people and refugees who caused even more trouble to the troops.

After all, these ordinary people with sticks and stones are very reluctant to fight, and they are very fond of surrendering. In the face of these surrendered bandits, it is impossible for the troops to shoot them on the spot, and they can only take these groups of displaced people on the road. By the time the troops arrived in the Dongyandun area, there were more than 2,000 displaced people who followed them because they knew that they would have food to eat.

Fortunately, by this time, the Baath Party had opened up the sea route from the mouth of the Yangtze River to Dongyandun, and the hybrid transport ships of 800 to 1,000 tons, which were mass-produced using standardized shipbuilding technology, were also in service. It is precisely because of this that the livelihood and production materials of these two or three thousand displaced people can be guaranteed. Otherwise, the supplies carried by the advance unit of this battalion would not be able to meet the living needs of so many people.

However, there are many people who are not without their benefits. The large number of displaced people in Shandong has provided ample labor for the Baath Party. You must know that in this era, being able to eat enough is fully attractive to the people of the late Ming Dynasty.

The Dongyandun base has recruited more than 20,000 displaced people in half a year. More than 20,000 displaced people, under the leadership of more than 3,000 production and construction troops, completed the basic construction of the Dongyandun base in less than a year.

Although at present, except for the port facilities, which are concrete, all the buildings in the East Chimney are the kind of earthen houses with dry bases. But a small cement plant and two brick and tile factories have already been built at the East Chimney site. And the agricultural production work on the base farm is also starting to get on the right track.

With the efforts of the transport fleet composed of 12 800-ton hybrid clippers in the past year, the material reserves of the entire East Yandun base are very sufficient. Not only has the loading equipment of Dongyandun Port been steamed, but a large number of steam water lifting stations have also been built on the base farm.

Song Xiance's communication skills are not small, and with the name of the governor of Hubei, he can talk to the officials at all levels in the Denglai area. With the help of silver bullets to open the way, Song Xiance bought a lot of land in the Huangxian area under the jurisdiction of Dengzhou Prefecture according to the information provided by the Baath Party. The Baath Party then organized the mining of coal in Huangxian County, which has 2.6 billion tons of lignite reserves.

Because the geographical location of Huang County is on the seaside, with the Baath Party's maritime advantages, there is no shortage of coal in the East Yandun base.

Although lignite is not ideal for marine coal, the proximity to the mine makes the Dongyandun base more useful to the First Fleet than the Jeju Island base.

In June 1628, a temporary fleet of cruisers and two gunboats sailed for Jinzhouwei.

"Is this what the Tartars look like? I don't think it's the same as the Ming army, except that the hair is different from the Ming army, but the appearance and clothes are the same as the Ming army."

On June 6, 1628, a temporary formation of the Baathistist First Fleet appeared in Golden State Bay.

"Don't look at the people and clothes, look at the flag at the head of the city and compare it according to the atlas, whether it is the flag of the Ming army or the banner of the Houjin."

On the cruiser No. 101, the flagship of the Provisional Fleet, the Inspector was very dissatisfied with the attitude of his observers. This impatient observer had already determined that the flag on the Golden State Acropolis was the Houjin Banner. Because even if he didn't look at the banner at the head of the city, just look at the ugly hairstyles of the hundred or so armed men who rode horses on the shore to show off their might, he could be sure that this Golden State Acropolis was currently under the control of the Later Jin Nuzhen.

After the three observers came to the same conclusion, the chief observer immediately informed the captain of the observation through the communication brass pipe. The captain of the 101 cruiser, who received the observations, immediately reported the situation to the commander of the fleet, Xu Yuanzhi.

"Now that it is confirmed that it is the Houjin Jurchen, let's start executing the shelling plan."

Xu Yuanzhi was not as excited and excited as others. For him, this shelling was no different from past shelling during military training and exercises.

With a somewhat trembling command issued, the three warships of the Provisional Fleet, under the command of their respective gun commanders, began to adjust their gun muzzles.

Eight Krupp naval guns of only 120 mm caliber and twenty amphibious guns of only 75 mm caliber were quickly aimed at the walls of the Acropolis of Golden State.

Obviously, the Jurchen soldiers with ugly haircuts on the city walls didn't feel any threat to them from a distance.

It was only a matter of minutes before the crumbling walls and scattered corpses changed the Jurchen soldiers' minds.

However, the huge explosion caused by TNT did not leave them with a chance to talk about this "adventure" with others.

Twenty minutes later, the temporary fleet, which had fired half of the shells it had carried on board, turned around and left Golden State Bay. As for how effective this shelling of theirs was. Then only a few Jurchen soldiers who survived the fragmented Acropolis of Golden State would know.

You must know that the First Fleet's current armed exploration mission does not include a landing mission
