Thay's rampart (Dao Duy Tu rampart)

Thay's rampart (Dao Duy Tu rampart)

Thay accumulation site, also known as Dao Duy Tu ramparts, is a system of ramparts formed during the Trinh-Nguyen war (1627-1672) in Quang Binh with Truong Duc ramparts in Hien Ninh, Quang district. Ninh, Dau Mau ramparts, Nhat Le ramparts in Dong Hoi city, are ranked as National according to Decision No. 97/Decision dated January 21, 1992 of the Ministry of Culture and Information. (now the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism). Luy Thay also has many other names such as Nhat Le, Dong Hoi, Truong Duc... in Quang Binh province today. King Thieu Tri later called the rampart system the place 'Dinh Bac great wall' to remember his ancestors for maintaining the South. Luy Thay is the name given by the people of Dang Trong to pay tribute to the famous man Dao Duy Tu as a military and political master. This project was started in 1630 after winning the battle with the Trinh army on the banks of the Nhat Le River in 1627. The project aimed to protect and strengthen Dang Trong from the attacks of Lord Trinh in Dang Outside. Next, in 1631, Lord Nguyen continued to send Dao Duy Tu and Nguyen Huu Dat to build Dau Mau ramparts and Nhat Le ramparts (both of these ramparts are collectively called Tran Ninh ramparts). In 1634, Lord Nguyen again built a 7km long Truong Sa rampart to close the Bao Ninh sand cave area. Thus, in more than 3 years, Lord Nguyen completed a system of fortifications nearly 34 km long. This is a continuous rampart system consisting of many floors, layers, and lines and is collectively called Thay rampart. Dai Nam Thuc Luc Tien Bien records: Truong Duc Citadel was built in the style of Hui, so it is also called Luy Hoi Van. Accordingly, the outside is surrounded by a wall, inside are barracks, battle fortifications, and treasures arranged in a Di-shaped pattern closely connected with the outer ramparts. The rampart is 2,500 meters long, one and a half meters wide, and 1 meter high (about 4 meters). Luy Truong Duc is an architectural work that demonstrates the military talent of Dao Duy Tu. In 1648, after failing to attack the Truong Duc ramparts, the Trinh army turned to attack the Vo Xa area and achieved victory. However, when they gained a foothold, they were blocked and attacked by Luu Don's army at Thap Dinh (now still Dinh Muoi commune, Quang Ninh district) and pushed into the Vo Xa swamp, which was a natural swamp along the road. Thien Ly from Quang Binh to Thuan Hoa. Trinh's army got bogged down here. And in the dilemma of not having support from the waterway, they were then forced to withdraw their troops to the North. Because of this event, to this day, people continue to sing the song: "The first is afraid of Luy Thay, the second is afraid of Vo Xa swamp". Two hundred years later, when King Thieu Tri made a pilgrimage through the rampart system, Thay was moved by this majestic rampart system and gave it the name "Dinh Bac Truong Thanh" to remember his ancestors for maintaining the South. Through time and war bombs, the Thay citadel was almost completely damaged. By 1994, the citadel was restored to its original state and recognized by the State as a national monument. Today, Luy Thay still has clear traces on Quach Xuan Ky street and the west of Phu Hai ward, in Dong Hoi city, Quang Binh province and has become a hundred-year mark reminding generations of the time of the Trinh dynasty - Nguyen divided the conflict in Vietnamese history.
