Volume Two: The Iron-Blooded Baron Chapter 149: The Battle of Nolandenburg (23)
The soldiers under Bahrain began to cry softly. Originally, they were feeling aggrieved and worried because of their defeat. They were aggrieved because they accidentally fell into an ambush by the pirates, and they were worried that the adults would punish their reconnaissance team.
, after all, in a huge defeat with half the manpower lost, the commander will be beheaded no matter where he is.
They did not expect that Balian would be so magnanimous. Not only did he not punish them, but he instead took the responsibility on himself, saying that it was his incomplete thinking that led to this tragic defeat, and he magnanimously shouldered the responsibility for the defeat.
At this time, Bahrain stopped choking and knelt down on one knee. The other soldiers of the reconnaissance team also followed their boss and knelt down on one knee.
Bahrain said in a hoarse voice: "Sir, Bahrain and the brothers of his reconnaissance team, thank you for your trust. From today on, until the end of the battle, each of us will chop off the heads of at least three Toba pirates.
, to thank you for your forgiveness to us!"
After finishing speaking, Bahrain asked loudly: "Brothers! Can you do it?"
"Yes!" the soldiers of the reconnaissance team replied in unison.
Balian stepped forward to help Balin up, and at the same time asked the other brothers to stand up, and then said loudly: "Okay! I believe you! We men in Nolandenburg are all people with eggs. I know you don't
If you give up after one defeat, you will definitely make a big splash!"
"Roar! Roar! Roar!" Bahrain and the soldiers of the reconnaissance team roared to express their determination and fighting spirit. They were so moved that they were now determined to get a few pirates to prove the strength of their reconnaissance team.
Men!
Mark, Bess, Eomer, Bran, Huck and others were watching, and they all admired their young master more and more.
Everyone originally thought that Balian would be furious and wanted to punish Balin, but unexpectedly, when Balian asked Huck to send a message, he directly asked Huck to tell Balin and the others that calling them over was not to punish them, so that they didn't need to worry.
After Bahrain and the others arrived, Balian was not only concerned about them, but also took the responsibility for the defeat. Bahrain and the others were even more moved, especially Bahrain himself. As the commander who caused heavy losses to the team, he was forgiven.
, he has not been removed from his post and continues to let him lead the investigation team. What a huge amount of trust this is.
Now, starting from today, Balin and the soldiers of the reconnaissance team are more loyal to Balian. Not only has their loyalty increased, they will work harder to build greater military exploits to live up to the lord's trust in them.
And this is exactly the result that Balian wants. It is easy to punish one person or a team, but it is difficult to make a group of people more convinced of you, more loyal to you, and more willing to work hard to do things for you. It is not just a simple punishment.
Just praise and praise.
If you want people to do good things for you, you must exchange sincerity for sincerity. If you treat others with sincerity, most of what you get will be sincerity. And if you want to encourage people to work more, you must recognize their value and acknowledge their contribution.
These people have received your recognition and believe that their efforts are valuable, so they will naturally be willing to continue to work hard. In addition, you have forgiven their mistakes and helped them take responsibility. How can they not be loyal to you? Shangyu
Well, it sounds complicated, but actually it’s just a matter of winning people’s hearts.
The reason why Balian did not punish Balin was actually because he took Barrett into consideration. Now Barrett is the defending general of Fort Norland. He bears an important responsibility in Balian's overall plan. If he lets him know that he
The news that his brother was punished by the lord for being defeated in the war may not necessarily cause any grudge in his heart, but he will definitely worry about the gain and loss of his current situation.
Besides, although it was a big defeat for Bahrain and the others, it was a small defeat in the entire defense battle of Fort Noland. As long as they could completely annihilate this group of invading enemies and kill a dozen more soldiers,
Balian can also accept it.
It's not that he has no humanity, but once he defeats these pirates, he can turn the tide of the war and save more innocent lives. You still have to figure out which one is bigger and which is smaller. You can't ignore the overall situation and be merciful because of a moment of softness.
Balian was now even more moved by Bing's words.
After Balian and Balin said some more words, they sat down, and the delicacies made by Huck's mother Jennifer were also brought to the table. The hot delicacies exuded an alluring aroma, which made the survivors of the reconnaissance team put aside their psychological concerns.
They swallowed their saliva from the smell.
After everyone sat down, Balion, Mark, Bess, and Eomer, who were big names in the eyes of ordinary soldiers, personally poured wine for them, which made the soldiers who had swallowed their saliva just now feel flattered.
After the wine was poured, Balian picked up the wine glass and said: "With this first glass of wine, we pay tribute to the warriors who died tonight. May their souls enter the Kingdom of Heaven and rest in peace under the protection of the God of Fire forever.
Warriors!"
As he spoke, Balian poured the wine in his glass onto the ground, and the others followed him and did the same.
After filling up the wine again, Balian raised his glass again and said: "This second glass of wine pays tribute to the brave warriors who are still alive in the Nolandenburg Infantry Regiment Reconnaissance Team! You are all good! I am proud of Nolandenburg.
We are proud to have heroes like you!
Come! Warriors, my good brothers, drink this glass of wine together!"
"Do it!" After everyone shouted in unison, they drank the wine in the glass.
After filling up the third glass of wine, Bellion picked up the wine glass again. He looked at everyone with a smile and laughed twice, "This third glass of wine is a celebration wine drunk in advance. I wish everyone all the best."
After annihilating this bunch of slutty wild dogs, we Nolandenburg people will never let the enemies who dare to invade our homeland have a good end!"
"Kill them all!"
"Let them never come back!"
"Chop these guys into pieces and throw them into the forest lake to feed the fish!"
…
Hearing everyone's shouts, Balian laughed loudly, and the others also laughed. In the cheerful laughter, Balian picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, and the others also drank up the wine in the glass.
Next, everyone started eating and drinking. It was the first time for many of the soldiers from the reconnaissance team to taste Jennifer’s craftsmanship. They were immediately shocked. As farmers and craftsmen’s apprentices, they had never eaten such delicious food. They were shocked on the spot.
They were almost robbed, but luckily Balian had the foresight and asked Jennifer to do a lot more, so that these warriors who survived the catastrophe had a good time and were extremely satisfied.
When the soldiers were eating and drinking, Balin asked Balian a question that had troubled him all night, "My lord, how did you know there was an ambush? And arranged cavalry to meet us."
