Nghieu Son Linh historical site
Nghieu Son Linh is a relic associated with the uprising against the Ming army in the early 15th century by two Tay leaders, Be Khac Thieu and Nong Dac Thai. After the Tran Dynasty weakened and Ho Quy Ly ascended the throne, the country fell into crisis. In 1407, the Ming army invaded and placed a brutal domination on our country. In Cao Bang, Be Khac Thieu and Nong Dac Thai gathered the insurgents and led the people to stand up against the enemy. The insurgents chose the Nghieu Son Linh mountain range, located on the right bank of the Bang Giang River, as a resistance base. With rugged terrain, high mountains, dense forests and many deep ravines, this place is convenient for building defense lines, training troops and organizing ambushes. The Phuc Tang - Ky Chi area was exploited as a food production area, ensuring logistics for the insurgents during the battle. According to historical documents and local traditions, the insurgents repeatedly attacked the Ming army, causing many losses to the enemy. The climax was the ambush in Na Khuoi valley at the end of 1426, contributing to the disintegration of the Ming army in Cao Bang. After this victory, Cao Bang was liberated from colonial rule. To date, on the top of Khau Thuoc there are still traces of a rampart system with two defense lines surrounding the mountainside. These are evidence of an important military base in the local people's resistance war against the Ming army. Nghieu Son Linh relic not only has historical value but also has great significance in educating patriotic traditions, the spirit of solidarity and the will to fight to protect the homeland of the people of Cao Bang ethnic groups. With majestic mountain landscapes and remaining vestiges, this place is an attractive destination for those who love history and want to learn about the fighting traditions of the frontier lands.
