ANNAM AND ITS MINOR CURRENCY XXI. The Nguy-khoi Rebellion. The Nung Rebellion. Doubtful Coins. 1600 to date. The Nguy-khoi Rebellion. KHOI was an officer of high rank in the employ of the Government in Lower Cochinchina. he was accused of holding ambitious views and of wishing to assert his independence, and therefore was called to the court of Hue to give an account of his actions. Afraid to appear, he raised the standard of rebellion in the province of Saigon, and very soon became master of the Mytho, Bien-hoa, Baria and Mo-xai districts. King 明命 MINH-MANG became seriously alarmed at the proportions of this rebellion, and sent troops by land and sea to quell it. The royal army slowly regained possession of the disturbed districts, with the exception of Saigon, which became the centre of the insurrectionary movement, the inhabitants offering serious resistance. The town was besieged, and had it not been for the treachery of one of the rebel chiefs who opened the gates of the citadel, the royal troops would have been kept in check for a considerable time. KHOI was made a prisoner, taken to Hue, and condemned to death by being slowly cut to pieces. About the same time nearly two thousand of his followers were put to the sword at Saigon and were buried in the place known to this day as the field of Graves. No. 240. (Barker: 111.1) Obverse: 治元通寶 Tri-nguyen-thong-bao Reverse: A crescent and a dot on the right and left of the hole. Lead. Coin issued by Khoi (1831-1834). |
