Son of Mr. Nguyen Huu Cam, a well-off farmer in the area. As a child, he was famous for being smart, assertive, very good at studying, and very diligent in his studies. In 1852 (during the reign of King Tu Duc), he took the exam in Gia Dinh and passed as valedictorian (top bachelor's degree). After that, he became a teacher or school director in Kien Hung district, Dinh Tuong province. When the French colonialists invaded our country (February 1859), he quit his teaching position, said goodbye to his family to join the resistance, linked up with patriotic scholars, recruited soldiers to stand up against the enemy, contrary to The Nguyen Dynasty's strategy of peace was essentially surrender. In April 1861, the French occupied My Tho. He and Thien Ho Duong launched an uprising, operating in Tan An and spreading to My Tho, greatly influencing the scholars of Cochinchina. At that time Thien Ho Duong was the Chief Administrator, he was the Deputy. At the end of 1861, seeing his influence, the French sent Ton Tho Tuong to persuade him to surrender but failed. In early 1862, he was ambushed, captured by the enemy and taken to Saigon. France assigned Mr. Do Huu Phuong (general governor of Phuong) to bribe the oligarch Viet Gian. He refused and cleverly sought to return to activities associated with Truong Dinh. In June 1863, the enemy discovered his base in Thuoc Nhieu (Cai Lay) so they surrounded and swept away. He and Thien Ho Duong escaped to An Giang to build Bay Nui base. Based on the Nham Tuat treaty, they sent an ultimatum forcing the An Giang province officials to hand over Thu Khoa Huan and Thien Ho Duong. Hearing the news, Thien Ho Duong escaped and then moved his base to Dong Thap Muoi while Thu Khoa Huan was captured and handed over to France. They accused him of opposing the state of Lang Sa (France) in opposing the treaty that the royal court had signed, sentenced him to 10 years of hard labor and was exiled to Réunion island. After 7 years in prison, they pardoned him and brought him under house arrest at Do Huu Phuong's house (Governor Phuong). At the same time, he was appointed as a teacher to teach students at Cho Lon in the hope of attracting him to their side. He took advantage of the teaching conditions to contact patriotic scholars and the Truong Phat Overseas Chinese Association to buy weapons. preparing for an uprising. While preparations for the uprising were in full swing, the French enemy, thanks to spies, captured the armed boat of Truong Phat's group. The uprising plan was broken because there were no weapons. Faced with that situation, he ordered the army to withdraw and return to My Tho to meet with Au Duong Lan to carry out the uprising. The operational area runs from Cai Lay to My Quy (Sa Dec). The center in Ben Tranh area has resonated throughout Cochinchina. To deal with the enemy, the governor and landowner Tran Ba Loc from Vinh Long to My Tho sent troops to suppress. In 1875, during a battle with an unfavorable enemy, he and his entourage, General Huong, sneaked back to Gao market with the intention of hitchhiking on a trading boat to Binh Thuan for help. But General Huong was bribed by Tran Ba Loc to lead troops to arrest Nguyen Huu Huan at Gao market on May 15, 1875, and take him into custody in My Tho. After 4 days of detention in My Tho, all his tactics to persuade him failed, and the French enemy sentenced him to death. On May 19, 1875, they sent a ship to transport him along the Bao Dinh river to his hometown of My Tinh An for execution (at 12 noon). He was 45 years old that year. On June 15, 1987, the Thu Khoa Huan Tomb relic was recognized by the Ministry of Culture and Information as a national historical relic.

The battle in which the US and puppet forces concentrated maximum force, using modern warfare equipment and innovative tactics, with American advisors and their henchmen determined to sabotage the revolution, in order to crush Ap Bac and destroy main force of the Southern revolution. On January 2, 1963, with 200 gunmen, the army and people of Ap Bac defeated more than 2,000 enemy troops with aircraft, tanks, warships supporting and American advisors commanding, breaking two new tactics. The period that the US applied in special warfare was "helicopter transport" and "armored transport" signaling the collapse of Ngo Dinh Diem's regime and the special war strategy of the US empire. Early in the morning of January 2, 1963, the enemy launched a sweep by the 7th Division Command and the Security Task Force in Dinh Tuong sub-region. The sweep took place within Tan Phu commune to encircle and destroy our local platoon that they discovered; Our forces only had company 1 of battalion 514 and company 1 of battalion 261. At 5:00 a.m. on January 2, 1963, the enemy divided into two wings to enter Ap Bac, but we blocked and attacked them, forcing them to call in reinforcements. institute. At the same time, our engineering field used mines to sink a ship at Kinh 3 and damaged two others. At 9:30 a.m., they landed a helicopter at Ap Bac; Under the command of company commander Bay Den, we broke up many enemy attacks supported by both helicopters and M113 vehicles. By evening, after many failed attacks, the enemy withdrew from the battlefield. As a result, they failed miserably, with: 450 dead and wounded, including 10 American advisors; 3 M 113 amphibious vehicles were destroyed; 8 helicopters were shot down; 1 ship sank and 2 other ships were damaged.

Tomb of Tu Kiet

Tomb of Tu Kiet is the name of the tomb and temple of four heroes who fought against the French in the years 1868 - 1870, including: Nguyen Thanh Long (Nam Long); Tran Cong Than (self-styled Phuong); Truong Van Rong and Ngo Tan Duoc (Germany) led the people and insurgent army of Cai Lay - Cai Be to stand up against the French invasion in the last decades of the 19th century. The mausoleum is located on April 30 Street, Cai Lay Town, Cai Lay District, Tien Giang. After the Four Men sacrificed, people built a tomb and temple in Cai Lay Town and to show respect for the people called Tomb of Tu Kiet. According to folk tradition, the four men were all famous for their courage, strategy, and superior martial arts. Having a passionate patriotism, when the French invaded Dinh Tuong province (1861), the four men joined the insurgent force led by Thien Ho Duong. Along with other insurgents, the four of them participated in many fierce battles in the areas of Ba Giong, Cho Gao, My Tho... during the fighting, the four of them achieved many resounding victories. In 1868, when Thien Ho Duong's uprising failed, the four men returned to Cai Lay to gather soldiers, choosing the Cai Be - Cai Lay area as the area to continue fighting against the French. The most glorious victory of Tu Kiet's army was the attack on My Tho citadel and the destruction of Cai Lay garrison. After two years of operations causing a lot of damage to the enemy, Tu Kiet's uprising had to fail under the siege and total suppression of the French expeditionary force. The four men were arrested. They lured them with glory and wealth for many days but failed. On February 14, 1871 (December 25, Canh Ngo year), the enemy took the Four men to the execution ground to be beheaded. More brutally, they also beheaded the four men at Cai Lay market, in order to threaten the spirit of the people. Then punch it at the river wharf next to the market. Admired by the lives and heroic and indomitable fighting example of the four men, the people of Cai Lay built an earthen tomb, surrounded by a wooden fence and solemn incense smoke. In nearby My Trang village, Mr. Nhieu, a student of Dang Van Nguu, built a shrine in front of his house right in the area where the four men were beheaded. The temple was roofed with yin and yang tiles and to blind the colonial government, people called it Ong Pagoda (because in front there was an altar to Quan Cong symbolizing loyalty), and at the back was a tablet engraved with the four words Four Gods. The soul, painted with bright red and gold, worships the Four Noble Phantasms. The storm in the year of the Dragon (1904) caused the temple to collapse. Mr. Nhieu moved the temple to Thanh Son village (formerly in Thanh Hoa commune, now Cai Lay town). Currently, the temple is located in Quarter 1, Cai Lay town, more than a hundred meters from Tu Kiet's Tomb. In 1967, Cai Lay people restored the temple and the Four Ong's tomb on a larger scale, with a shrine inside and a guest house outside. In 1999, the mausoleum of the four men was restored on a large scale by Tien Giang province, looking very spacious and ancient as it is today. Every year on the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, Cai Lay people gather here in large numbers to sweep the graves and hold a very solemn death anniversary, respectfully remembering the Four Men who sacrificed themselves for the country and killed the enemy, setting a shining example. for posterity. On September 13, 1999, the Tomb of Tu Kiet relic was recognized by the Ministry of Culture and Information as a national relic.

Despite experiencing many ups and downs in history, the house is still intact. The house was built by Mrs. Tran Thi Sanh (a wealthy Governor's family) in 1890. Mrs. Tran Thi Sanh is the daughter of Lord Tran Van Do, the wife of Binh Tay Dai Marshal Truong Cong Dinh and the granddaughter of Tu Queen Mother Du (mother of King Tu Duc). The house was built in the shape of the letter Dinh (initially). After many renovations and constructions, the entire house today consists of three parts: the main house, two square houses - where the maids live, and the rice granary. (landlord's granary). The front lobby of the old house has a Western European style with arched arches and carved embossed patterns. In contrast to the Western-style brick lobby, inside the building are traditional wooden structures. The main house consists of three rooms and two wings covered with yin and yang tiles, including 36 columns, of which 30 wooden columns are made from precious wood. Connecting the column spaces together are sets of double-sided carved wooden covers depicting the themes of four sacred animals, four precious animals, eight treasures... very sophisticatedly.

Around 1880-1885, the Tri Truong Binh district was fed up with the school's landscape of intellectuals, so they renovated this house to be spacious and airy for old age. When my grandparents passed away, this house continued to let her daughter Huynh Thi Dieu and her husband Nguyen Van Hai work as Governor of the Porcelain Palace, so it was called the Governor's House of Hai. At the end of the last century (1895-1900), Nguyen Van Hai had a little education in France so he built a "roman" style lobby and built two square houses on both sides for workers to live together. In 1909-1917, the house was renovated, a steel fence was built on three sides and a large rice granary was built in the back. Doc Phu Hai's House was recognized as a national monument in 1994.
