In March 1886, leaders of the Can Vuong movement in Thanh Hoa held a meeting in Dong Bien (Bong Trung now belongs to Vinh Tam commune, Vinh Loc district, Thanh Hoa) to discuss plans to fight against the French.

The French army fired up to 16,000 cannonballs within a day, turning the Ba Dinh base into a sea of fire. The Ba Dinh insurgent army fought for 32 days and nights against an enemy 12 times larger, equipped with modern and advanced weapons. In this extremely fierce battle, the insurgents showed bravery and cunning, but because of the enemy's strong firepower, the Ba Dinh insurgents suffered many casualties. To avoid being completely destroyed, the Ba Dinh insurgents opened a bloody road through the dense siege of the French army and withdrew to the Ma Cao base. On the morning of January 21, 1887, the French army captured Ba Dinh. After that, the French army completely destroyed all three villages of the Ba Dinh base, continued to send troops to pursue the insurgents in Ma Cao, and then destroyed this post on February 2, 1887. After that, a large number of insurgents withdrew to Thung Voi, Thung Khoai, then to western Thanh Hoa to merge with Cam Ba Thuoc's insurgent army. In the end, leader Nguyen Khe died in battle. Pham Banh, Ha Van Mao, Le Toai committed suicide... Hoang Bat Dat was later captured and beheaded by the French because of his indomitable spirit and not surrendering to the enemy. Dinh Cong Trang fled to Nghe An. The French army offered a very high reward on his head. In October 1887, because of greed for reward money, the chief of Chinh An village secretly informed the French army to arrest and kill Dinh Cong Trang. The Ba Dinh uprising and Ba Dinh leaders are highly appreciated by history. President Ho Chi Minh later chose the name Ba Dinh to name Ba Dinh Square, where the Declaration of Independence was read, giving birth to the Democratic Republic of Vietnam.
