Longer nails. Toe nailing the base to the blocks. Or biscuits.

tony, I've done this detail, but with full thickness tall base. You could nail through the block into the base, in turn nail the block to the other pc of base. If you do glue, try a better adhesive PL Premium) to the wall and glue (titebond) and nail to the base. A nailgun makes it easier than hand nailing.
The inside corners, I would nail them off to the base before installing a run out of the corner.
If you're using thin base, makes it hard to hit the target.
