What if the famous english highway robber and vaunted Royalist James Hind managed to successfully rob and subsequently murder Oliver Cromwell (as planned) with his partner in crime Thomas Allen prior to his accension his to Lord Protector?

What happens to the model army; the commonwealth?; James Hind?
 
Fairfax takes over the New Model Army. He ought to become Lord Protector as well but he didn't want the job. If he had I don't think that Cromwell would have objected.
