The protest group stopped and dispersed but did not completely disperse. It was not until the enemy sent more forces and captured about 100 people with visas from the Governor of Cochinchina and the Governor of Cho Lon Province Renault that the protest ended. The protest was drowned in a sea of blood, but it caused a great stir at that time: For the first time in a quiet rural area, a deadly confrontation broke out with the enemy for the survival of tens of thousands of people.

Nguyen Trung Truc's birth name is Nguyen Van Lich, also known as Chon, born in 1838 in Craft hamlet, Binh Nhut village, Cuu Ha district, Cuu An district, Tan An district (now Thanh Duc commune, Ben Luc district). , Long An province). Right when the French colonialists opened fire to attack Gia Dinh citadel, he joined the resistance army under the command of Truong Dinh and was sent to fight against the French in Tan An district. With the help of Nhut Tao village officials, he arranged a bold and intelligent plan to attack L' Espérance, a French small ship that was raging in the waters of Cuu An district. On the morning of December 10, 1861, after arranging an ambush on the shore and luring a part of the enemy to leave the ship, Nguyen Trung Truc and 59 insurgents boarded 5 boats pretending to be rice trading boats to approach the enemy ship. . While presenting his travel documents, he suddenly killed a French soldier and then joined the insurgents to attack French soldiers on the ship L' Espérance. Without time to react, all the enemies on the ship were destroyed (only 5 escaped). The insurgents used oil and inflammables to burn the ship L' Espérance. The rising fire slowly engulfed the ship to the deep river bottom. The news of Nhut Tao's victory excited the hearts of the people and soldiers throughout the country. The Hue court promoted Nguyen Trung Truc to the position of Quan Co, gave rewards to the insurgents, granted survivors, and provided financial support to Nhut Tao village (which was destroyed by the French army). The French colonialists were also extremely shocked because they could not imagine that the insurgents could cause them such great losses. "The Battle of Nhut Tao was the prelude to a general attack on almost all French posts... It was a tragic event that caused a deep emotion in the French and strangely stimulated the imagination of the Annamese people." - Excerpt from the work Abregede I'historie D'An Nam by Alfred Schreiner. Continuing that heroic spirit, immediately after the battle of Nhut Tao, the insurgents simultaneously rose up to attack the French fortress system in three eastern provinces, including the battle of Can Giuoc (December 16, 1861). history along with the immortal tribute to Can Giuoc martyr. Time passes quietly, Nhut Tao temple is still there as if it evokes nostalgia in the hearts of visitors. The ship L' Espérance, after nearly 120 years resting at the bottom of the deep river, has been excavated. The total number of artifacts recovered is 89, including 78 wooden artifacts, 8 iron artifacts, 2 bronze artifacts and 1 glass artifact. Through studying wooden artifacts, we also see all the parts to form the ship's frame such as beams, beams, keels, and masts. Although the L'Espérance ship had been chiseled to remove scrap, there were still some pieces of copper-covered wood that clearly showed burn marks. All of the above-mentioned artifacts have been preserved and displayed at Long An Museum to introduce domestic and foreign visitors to specific evidence of the heroic victory of fisherman hero Nguyen Trung Truc a long time ago. more than a century.

The district's armed forces at this time have 7 local platoons with over 200 soldiers, in addition to 5 inter-commune guerrilla platoons with over 100 troops. Each commune has 1 guerrilla platoon, each hamlet has from 1 to 3 secret guerrilla groups. The enemy force is strong in both soldiers and combat weapons.

During our operations, anti-minefields were arranged to destroy the enemy. We also placed bunkers everywhere, on the marching route, in addition to graves and fields... In the hamlets, many individual fortifications and trenches were dug along land routes within communes and inter-communes. Each road leading into the village has a battle gate "on the intersections we set up information rooms, effigies, and placed slogans"...
