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 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).

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.

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.

When he arrived at Go Rua (Son Quy), he saw that the land was very beautiful, but in the entire Go Cong area at that time, there was no place to dig a well with fresh water. Then he discovered underground water at Go Son Quy, so he gathered the graves of three generations here and built a house on this mound.
