July 1834 CE

As Minh Mạng raised an army to quell the rebellion, Lê Văn Khôi had fortified himself into the Saigon fortress and asked for the help of the Siamese.

Rama III, king of Siam, had accepted the offer and sent troops to attack the Vietnamese provinces of Ha-tien and An-giang and Vietnamese imperial forces in Laos and Cambodia.

The Siamese troops are accompanied by two thousand Vietnamese Catholic troops under the command of Father Nguyen Van Tam.

These Siamese and Vietnamese forces are repelled in summer 1834 by General Truong Minh Giang.

Lê Văn Khôi dies in 1834, during the siege, and is succeeded by his 8-year-old son Le Van Cu.
