Dinh Trieu Hoi

Trieu Hoi communal house in Bo De commune, Binh Luc district, Ha Nam province is a place to worship two village tutelary gods. One was Cao Mang, a talented general of the Tran Dynasty, and the other was Tran Xuan Vinh, who passed the second doctoral degree and became a mandarin under the reign of King Le Thanh Tong, in the reign of Hong Duc. The genealogies of the two gods are now lost, but the villagers still tell the strange story about the doctor of Le Dynasty Tran Xuan Vinh. Legend has it that, after passing his doctorate, on the way back to visit his hometown by Chau River, his and his parents' boats capsized, the whole family drowned, and his body floated to Bai Nhot. People built a small temple to worship him. The temple is very sacred, so the villagers asked for incense sticks to build a temple to worship him as the tutelary god. Thus, according to legend and logical reasoning, the god Cao Mang of the Tran dynasty must have been worshiped before, and after having a temple to worship the doctor of the Le dynasty, a communal house was established to concubine these two gods. Trieu Hoi Communal House is built in a three-compartment style: the front hall has five rooms, the second palace has five rooms, and the main palace has three rooms. The communal house has been renovated many times and on the upper salary, there is a record of one renovation in the sixth Thieu Tri era. The front hall has five compartments, roofed with male tiles, and the roof is covered with two dragons flanking the moon. The communal house's door frame is made of ironwood. The floor is paved with silk thread tiles, true to the ancient style of Vietnamese communal houses. The door set is made in the style of a table, with sliding bars on top and bottom. The second palace was repaired many times, the carvings remaining only on the first verses, 4-line armpit beams with simple stylized motifs. The three main rooms are designed with ironwood like the front hall, although the carvings here are not as elaborate. Trieu Hoi Communal House is classified as a historical relic because it was here that a demonstration march to demonstrate the prestige of farmers in the area took place on October 20, 1930. This march aimed to mobilize the masses to fight for the abolition of the Cai Luong council, for a reduction in tax collection, to support the Nghe Tinh Soviet and the struggle of farmers in Tien Hai and Thai Binh. Bo De commune was chosen as the location of that protest because the Ha Nam Provincial Party Committee determined that not only was the movement stable, but it was also adjacent to three districts of Binh Luc, Ly Nhan, and My Loc, so it could focus on promoting prestige. The time of the protest was set for October 20 because that was the main session of 3 markets: Bo De, Thanh Thi and An Ninh. At exactly 7 a.m., the drums at the Trieu Hoi communal house rang out, the red hammer and sickle flag flew, and protesters posing as market goers began to stand in line. Under the direction of the Ha Nam Provincial Party Committee and Binh Luc District Party Committee, the protest group went to designated locations such as Diem Tong, Don market (An Ninh), Ba Hang (Thanh Thi), speaking and broadcasting while walking. A petition calling on people to rise up and fight against feudalism, against terrorist attacks, and to support the Nghe Tinh Soviet Union. The protest group is increasingly crowded, starting from Bo De market with 300 people and reaching Vac market (An Ninh) to thousands of people. Faced with the overwhelming revolutionary spirit of the protest, the landowners, tycoons, and lackeys of the French colonialists were very frightened. At 12 noon, the leaders decided to hold a rally at Voc market and then disperse. The demonstration was a complete victory. The victory of the protest is an important political victory, having a great influence on the political struggle movement in the province and the whole country. This event was taken by leader Nguyen Ai Quoc as a proof of the spirit and revolutionary ability of Vietnamese farmers in his report to the International Farmers on November 5, 1931.

This is a relatively dangerous route, especially the Bong Lau pass area (about 10 km long, in Trang Dinh district, Lang Son province) which is a winding road with narrow corners and steep slopes, where groups French army transport vehicles were often blocked and attacked by our forces, causing many losses (as of August 1949, French troops were ambushed three times by us in this area). To ensure the safety of important transportation routes, the French army deployed troops to guard important positions on the route. At the same time, when organizing transportation, it was often necessary to use a large number of vehicles (about around 100 vehicles) and divided into several groups, escorted by infantry forces and armored vehicles with a thoughtful contingency plan. After the end of the Cao - Bac - Lang Campaign in April 1949, we advocated continuing to conduct a number of battles to promote the victory of the campaign, focusing on attacking the enemy's transportation activities. on Route 4.

However, at this time, a French vehicle approaching kilometer 58 suddenly stalled, causing the entire convoy to pile together, and at the same time the accompanying enemy infantry deployed a protective formation.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the units quickly mobilized to occupy advantageous positions, used grenades and infantry guns to fiercely attack the enemy formation; After more than an hour of fierce fighting, we completely controlled the battlefield, escorted prisoners, resolved casualties and withdrew our troops. Between 4:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m., the enemy twice used aircraft to bombard the battlefield and sent troops from That Khe to rescue, but both were blocked by the forces of Battalion 53 and forced to retreat. As a result, we killed and wounded 194 enemy soldiers, captured 23 soldiers, destroyed 86 vehicles (including 1 tank, 2 armored vehicles, 78 transport cars), collected nearly 100 guns of all kinds and many other vehicles. military equipment, military equipment.
