[It’s not that I’m lazy or that I have something to do at home. I really want to write this scene of Kawen well and write it out, but I’ve never had that state. I really want to write the night of Fierce Snow as the first climax of this book, so I’d rather not write it in a bad state!

I really don’t make money. If I want to make money, I will cheat words. My royalties are not counted as subscriptions, but as buyouts are counted as words. If I want to make money, I will fill up 10,000 words a day, not that I can’t do it!

Chapter 295 [Night of Snow on the Snow] (Sixteen)

When people in later generations look back on New Year's Eve this year, many historians often like to compare this night with the famous summer celebration day a hundred and forty years ago.

Of course, this argument has also been questioned and criticized in the historical community.

Because on that summer celebration day 140 years ago, the famous coup in the imperial capital not only changed the national destiny after the empire, but more importantly, it gave birth to several legends that influenced generations.

For example, the regent Chen, who killed his brother and his father in the coup, usurped the throne and seized power, and then advanced to the throne. For example, the Duke of Tulip who finally made a sound of hooves and made a splash since then, changed the destiny of the empire for a hundred years, created countless miracles, and left behind miracles that shook ancient and modern times for future generations... The Grand Duke of Tulip!

And from the perspective of this year's New Year's Eve, it seemed difficult to compare with the summer celebration more than a hundred years ago.

When people look back on this coup in the wind and snow, they may only remember the blood that fell into the snow. They may only remember the massacre that took place on the streets of the imperial capital. They may only remember the duel on the top of the imperial city.

However, it is only many years later that people will find that the changes this coup brought to this ancient human empire are no smaller than the one a hundred and forty years ago!

On the contrary, from a certain perspective, the series of chain reactions and changes brought about by this coup completely reversed the fate of this empire or humanity in this world to another channel.

Just like the rushing river of history, on this night, a huge and rapid turn suddenly appeared!

Of course, in this rapid turn, the rushing river, the huge wave that burst out vigorously, washed away so much mud, sand, pearls and jade, and so......

But at that time, people... were in this long river and in this chaos, and seemed to be unable to see so much clearly...

"The third team, close the water gate! The idle people on the dock are prohibited from entering and exiting!! Hurry up!!"

"Unless there is a general's warrant, no one is allowed to enter the restricted area!!"

"Don't be too slow. Boys all run for me!! Set up roadblocks at intersections!!"

"Don't talk nonsense, send someone to remove the door panel for me! There are also the piles of sandbags on the dock, please bring them over first! I'll teach you these!"

"What public security center? We are the Thunder Whip! We are ordered to take over the city defense and let those two dogs get away!! We still need me to teach you what to do when you trespass the restricted area!"

"I don't need to repeat the general's military order! All you need is to execute it!! Have you heard it clearly? Execute it!!"

"Go and take a look at the horses!! Hell! This damn weather!!"

At the Watergate Pier in the imperial capital, the roar of Cochran, the commander of the Third Infantry Regiment of the Second Division of Thunder Whip, could spread throughout the streets through the thick wind and snow.

This 41-year-old imperial commander is not young compared to his military rank. However, the greatest capital for being the commander of the Third Infantry Regiment of the Second Division of Thunder Whip is his origin.

Cochrane, who was forty-one years old, was born into the Rolling family. Like the millions of "Roling people", his father once served under the command of Earl of Berryon and served in the Northern Storm Legion of the Empire for half his life. He served in the private army of the Rolling family since he was young. Eleven years ago, with Aker, he was transferred to the empire's most elite Thunder Whip Legion.

From the lieutenant to the commander-Cochrane's military strategy was not weak in the middle-level samurai, and she had briefly entered the Imperial Military Academy for further study. Of course, everyone knew that such further study was only gilded.

His appearance is powerful, his stature is short and he is suddenly. Because he rides horses all year round, his pair of roving legs can be seen as a standard cavalry. However, in order to obey the family's arrangements and to ensure that the future leader of the Rollin family, Aker, had enough direct line and enough voice in the army after entering the Thunder Whip, after Cochran was transferred to the Thunder Whip, he had to leave his favorite cavalry and became an infantry officer.

This trip took eleven years.

His biggest characteristic is...loyalty!

Of course, this loyalty is only for the Rolling family! Or more directly, it is just for Aker himself!

So... Cochrane played an important role in this big event tonight!

In addition to the First Cavalry Regiment commanded by Aker himself and the Rollin family's direct cavalry guards, Cochran is one of the few people who knew some of the coup plans in advance!

No one knows what Cochran himself thought about what happened tonight, but at least on the surface, he showed a firm stance and absolute loyalty to Aker!

Aker gave him not a light task, and he was required to lead the army and be able to control the water gate and docks of the imperial capital!

This is a water lifeline leading to the outside world in addition to a few city gates!

Even though the city defense has been controlled by other troops of Thunder Whip, because the imperial capital is leaning against the Lancang Canal, if something happens, it is less than twenty miles upstream of the Lancang Canal, and it is a military stronghold in one of the four acropolises of the Empire. There is an infantry regiment affiliated to the Royal City Guards, and there is also a small inland river fleet with four sea soul-level warships!

Once something happens to the imperial capital, the garrison upstream can set off immediately, take this inland river fleet, and go downstream. In just one hour, the troops will be under the Imperial Capital Water Gate!

Although four Sea Soul-class warships are placed on the sea, they are just small sampans, but they are thrown on the inland rivers of the Lancang Canal, which is the existence of a giant! Each warship is equipped with four crossbows, and can carry a capacity of 300 soldiers.

There are also water siege hammers specially built for water fortifications, which will become a nightmare for any fortification!

Cochran's task is very simple, and Aker's requirements for him are also very clear, and there are only two things to be clear:

First, control the army well!

Although Aker served in the Second Division of Thunder Whip for many years and brought a large number of direct descendants of the Luolin family and were placed at important positions at all levels and at all levels in the division, it can be said that almost one-third of the middle-level officers in the entire division are from the Luolin family, and among the low-level officers, there are a large number of children of the Luolin family. Over the years, Aker has also established a unique personal prestige and authority in this army.

But after all, this army is sucking the imperial food and salary! When it is time to rebel and raise the flag of rebellion, no one can tell how many soldiers will oppose or resist.

So Cochran's mission is not clear. He needs to control this army and let the strength of this army be exerted on the major event of "rebellion".

And the second task Aker gave him was.........Protect this water gate!

"Before midnight, the city gate must not be opened! Even if someone attacks the city, you must protect this city gate until midnight! Even if all the water fleets are driven to the city, even if you, Cochran, personally, take people to fill it with flesh and blood, you must keep the water gate! Before midnight, no soldiers or soldiers must enter the imperial capital from your defense zone!"

This is what Aker said to Cochrane.

Cochran clearly remembered that the Middle Ages leader of the Luolin family, who has always been known for his calmness and majesty, had his eyes red and his face ferociously, revealing a rare and rare tension and anxiety when he said this!

So Cochran knew very well how heavy the burden was on him.

As the night gradually deepened, the blizzard that had been raging all night gradually stopped, and the annoying blizzard gradually continued to stop. Cochran could vaguely hear the riots coming from the long street... Losing the patrol team of the public security station to maintain order, hundreds of thousands of tourists from the imperial capital who went to the street tonight turned the entire imperial capital into a pot of porridge...

After receiving the order, the nearby public security patrol teams evacuated one by one. Some of them ran directly to Cochran for help, hoping that he could send some soldiers to accompany the troops of the public security station to "quell the rebellion".

The news I received seemed to be a riot in the East Garden of the imperial capital.

Cochran sternly rejected the request of the security office and then ruthlessly ordered his troops to drive away the security office patrol teams immediately left their defense zone.

After the people from the police station patrol left cursingly, Cochran had to face the officers and soldiers who were confused by their subordinates.

He had no choice but to show the majesty of the superior and Aker's military order to suppress it.

The army has no trouble for the time being. Thunder Whip is an elite of the empire. Soldiers and officers have become accustomed to strictly enforcing military orders without making any questions.

But now, with the dock being controlled, Cochran even ordered people to remove the warehouse doors on the dock and carry sandbags and boxes piled up on the cargo yard, discard them under the water gate, and fill the river channel.........

Such an order finally aroused the doubts of the soldiers and officers.

Even the slowest reaction finally realized something was wrong with this command!

It was just a brief takeover of the defense zone, why do you need to do such damage to the water gate?

Once the waterway is filled, if the riverway needs to be cleared in the future, it is afraid that a lot of manpower and material resources will be spent.

We are here to temporarily take over the city defense, why do we have to do such a complete destruction?

Cochran was already ready to be slapped. He quickly arranged the guards of the Rollin family beside him, and then summoned a group of middle-level officers, all of which were gathered in a warehouse next to the dock, which was a temporary defense zone command post.

When twenty-nine middle-level officers walked into the temporary command post, they did not notice any abnormalities.

When an infantry brigade was complaining to Cochran whether the soldiers violated the ownership regulations of property rights in the imperial civil law when dismantling the dock, Cochran just responded calmly with "military management".

But when another captain officer directly questioned the order to fill the river, Cochran's face finally darkened.

The captain officer still didn't know it, and he still loudly defended with enthusiasm...

"Even if it is General Aker's military order, such actions will be a disaster! We temporarily take over the city defense and have no right to do such a thing. The military will definitely hold us accountable afterwards! Filling the river will cause long-term damage to the dock, and now it is winter, the roads are blocked by heavy snow. The Lancang Canal is an important material supply line in the imperial capital. If we do this, we will bear too much responsibility! Lord Cochran is definitely not that simple! Even General Aker does not have the right to make such an order. Even if it is the highest order from the military headquarters, according to the imperial decree, the damage to important civil affairs facilities will be ordered by the Government Affairs Bureau. We......"

No one noticed that when the officer was questioning loudly, Cochran's face gradually turned pale, and his hand was silently pressed on the hilt of the knife around his waist.

As he took a deep breath, his left hand quickly made a hidden move of clenching his fists.

Not many people noticed that just outside this warehouse, the heavy warehouse gate had been slowly closed...

The fully armed guards of the Luolin family have quietly filled the edge of the warehouse, completely blocking the space leading to the warehouse gate...

"I refuse to enforce such a life-spending! Even if I am punished by military orders afterwards, I will disobey this..."

When the captain officer tried to identify something passionately, suddenly, Cochran had already taken two steps to wave the saber in his hand and waved it directly.

The captain officer's head flew into the sky, and his blood was sprayed with blood!

Cochron's face was covered in blood, and he kicked the body away step by step, then shouted loudly!

"Grant the order to punish the rebels and depose the foolish monarch!! The children of the Luolin family, the children of the Tulip family, and the alliance of the ten major families!! Follow the life and die against the death!"

The officers in the warehouse were all stunned by this sudden change!!

According to the regulations of normal military meetings, officers entering the command post did not carry any weapons.

The officers with bare hands faced the guards of the Luolin family, facing the raised butcher knife, some were shocked, some were shocked, some were afraid, and some were confused.

Cochran didn't give them much time.

"The Luolin family members! Clear the market! Those who obey will kneel down! Those who kneel down will live!!"

With the order, the completely unarmed guard raised his butcher's knife and rushed towards the officers' group...

Although the snow outside had already stood up, the wind was getting heavier and heavier. The strong wind blew away the painful cry and wailing sounds coming from the warehouse, gradually tearing the curses and screams into pieces in the wind.

From afar, I can only see vague blood flowing out of the crack in the door...

That night, the Third Infantry Regiment of the Second Division of the Empire Thunder Whip, two deputy commanders and three brigade captains, were all killed and none of them survived!

The elite backbone officers who had spent ten years training in these empires, the soldiers who had experienced in the sinister swamps in the southern border of the empire, and the elite imperialists who had set up horses in the northwest to compete with foreign cavalry, never died at the hands of the empire's foreign enemies, but fell tonight.

Falling under the butcher's knife of his own people!
