He has a heroic physique, dark skin, and was born in the year of the Tiger, so people call him by the nickname "Black Tiger". History also records that he many times led troops to suppress the Champa Dynasty and harass the South. In early 1692, Lord Nguyen sent Nguyen Huu Canh as General of the Army along with advisor Nguyen Dinh Quang to bring troops to balance the border and establish Thuan Thanh town (present-day Ninh Thuan, Binh Thuan). As soon as pacification was completed, a group of Qing people, led by Aban, incited factions to rebel. Nguyen Huu Canh received orders to suppress the rebels, bring security to the people of the county and was appointed to guard Binh Khuong palace (also known as Binh Khang, now Khanh Hoa - Binh Thuan region). In 1699, Chan Lap King Nac Thu (some books say Nac Ong Thu) led his army to attack Dai Viet. Lord Nguyen Phuc Chu sent Nguyen Huu Canh as the army commander, taking care of defeating and pacifying the people. Nguyen Huu Canh went straight to La Bich citadel (Nam Vang), defeating Nac Thu's army. In April of the year Canh Thin (1700), Nguyen Huu Canh fell ill. May 16, 1700. Nguyen Huu Canh died in Sam Giang (Rach Gam). In 1802, Nguyen Huu Canh's remains were brought back to be buried by descendants in Truong Thuy commune. Currently, in the grounds of Nguyen Huu Canh's Tomb in Quang Binh, there is a very valuable stone stele. Nguyen Huu Canh's tombstone is about 1.2m high, carved from green stone (marble). After his death, the people of the South in general and especially the Mekong Delta provinces set up temples to worship him in many places. Although several centuries have passed, the name and career of Nguyen Huu Canh are still forever engraved with the Vietnamese people in general and the people of Quang Binh in particular. "Thanh Marquis Cong Le went to open the land, thousands of years later, descendants will always remember" On March 25, 1991, Nguyen Huu Canh's mausoleum was ranked by the State as a national historical relic.
