The temple was built in the 16th century and has been renovated through many stages.

The Yen The uprising broke out in 1884, the forested hills were used by the Yen The insurgents as strongholds, and temples and pagodas were used as advance stations and as a base for the insurgents to travel back and forth. Leo Pagoda is located near Ho Chuoi station, about 1km to the East. During the battles with the Yen The insurgents at Ho Chuoi station (1890-1891), Leo pagoda was the French military base to act as a stepping stone to attack Ho Chuoi station. Leo Pagoda is a place that marks many historical events associated with the Yen The insurgent army. During the second period of peace between the Yen The insurgent army and the French colonialists (1897-1909), Leo Pagoda still served as a frontline position, observing the French colonialists' incursions into the Phon Xuong base area. It is a point of contact for regular correspondence and correspondence of the insurgent army. The pagoda is also a place to welcome guests and a gathering place for patriotic soldiers. Therefore, during this time, Leo Pagoda received a lot of attention from De Tham, who gave money to repair and embellish. Also at Leo Pagoda, an incident that went down in folk legend happened, demonstrating the high vigilance of Hoang Hoa Tham. During the French colonial period, they wanted to negotiate a peace treaty with the Yen The insurgents, but they still had many internal conflicts. To resolve a problem still tied to the insurgents, the head of the province made an appointment with De Tham to meet at a place near Phon Xuong. That location was determined to be Leo Pagoda. Both sides did not carry weapons. The entourage stayed behind. The day before the meeting, the French agent went to sleep at Leo pagoda, De Tham slept in that village... After the moon set around midnight, there were noises in the forest, you had to pay close attention to see them. Twelve soldiers quietly crawled through the dense forest toward the hut where De Tham was lying. The next morning, everyone gathered outside the temple. People looked at each other anxiously and waited. There were no signs that De Tham had been murdered, so people had to split up to look for him. On the grass next to the village, at the foot of the blockhouse, 12 soldiers' bodies were seen lying side by side. The soldier's body lay on the outside, a knife stuck in his chest along with the peace treaty. The other corpses had their hands clasped together holding a piece of wood with the word "betrayal" written on it. After this incident, De Tham posted everywhere the insurgent's denunciation about the betrayal of the French invaders... In the past, Leo Pagoda had monks. About Hoang Hoa Tham's death, there is also a legendary story related to the abbot of Leo Pagoda. By 1913, the Yen The insurgent army had gradually disintegrated, De Tham retreated to hide in the Yen The forests, waiting for an opportunity to launch and rebuild the movement. During this time, the French colonialists spread the news to public opinion that they had killed De Tham. They put three heads in Nha Nam and said that among them was De Tham's head so that everyone could come and identify them. But in fact, people believe that it is not De Tham's head but the head of a monk of Leo pagoda. I don't know the truth, but through that detail it is enough to see the close connection between Hoang Hoa Tham and the temple. And legend still holds that the monk of Leo Pagoda died instead of De Tham. SOURCE: ELECTRONIC INFORMATION PORTAL DEPARTMENT OF CULTURE - SPORTS - TOURISM OF BAC GIANG PROVINCE

Ho Chuoi Fort

Build a brave and courageous fighting spirit, not afraid of sacrifice, determined to fight to the end to protect your homeland and country. This is the core, most important factor that determines the victory in the Battle of Banana Pit of the Insurgent Army. In particular, in the context of the early years of the Yen The uprising, the Insurgent Army with rudimentary weapons and equipment had to confront the French Expeditionary Force - a professional army equipped with weapons, equipment and supplies. modern means of warfare, so building political and spiritual factors and determination to fight for the Insurgent Army is of decisive significance. Realizing that, De Tham and the leaders of the Insurgent Army educated and fostered a spirit of patriotism and hatred for the enemy in the Insurgents. Accordingly, on the basis of a just war, De Tham taught about the suffering of people losing their country; clearly shows that the cause of suffering is due to the brutality of the invading French empire. Through practice, he showed everyone clearly the hypocritical and hypocritical face of the enemy army; that it was the French army who shot and killed civilians and burned down houses and fields. If you want to save the country and the family, you must rise up to fight the French and his Insurgents swear to kill the enemy to protect the people. That's why the Yen The uprising in general, and the Ho Chuoi battle in particular, the insurgents demonstrated a spirit of courage and strong determination that the enemy did not expect. That was when the enemy fiercely bombarded the station, but the insurgents did not flinch, waiting for the enemy to get very close before opening fire to destroy them, causing the enemy to panic and flee. Even in the third attack (December 22, 1890), the enemy urged European and African troops to use bayonets to attack our fortifications, but the insurgents remained calm, took control of the battle, and rose up to destroy the enemy. leaving them helpless, suffering heavy losses, forcing them to retreat. Not only did De Tham regularly foster patriotism and determination, but when dangerous situations occurred, De Tham also proactively and calmly encouraged the insurgents to fight. Typically, in the battle on January 9, 1891, when Ho Chuoi post was burned by enemy fire, De Tham used the loudspeaker to encourage: "Soldiers in the loyal army, in the indomitable army, in the The army will win. I am very pleased with you! Try to resist. Reinforcements are coming. You are invincible"1. That spiritual medicine promptly encouraged and encouraged the insurgents in the station to calmly, enthusiastically, and resolutely defend, while the forces in the forts, despite the hours-long shelling, still maintained their positions. fight; When the opportunity came (when the enemy infantry was approaching), we all rushed out of the fortifications and fought fiercely, destroying most of the enemy's forces and maintaining the battlefield. Later, researchers all believed that, at Ho Chuoi, the French army faced an opponent with surprisingly high fighting determination.2. Create a dangerous, continuous, solid posture, ensuring smooth defense and attack. Through many battles with the French army, the Insurgents have mastered the rules of operation, combat tactics, and the enemy's strengths and weaknesses. That is, fear of close combat, especially difficulty in maneuvering in difficult terrain; rely on artillery fire and when there are casualties, morale easily declines, etc. Firmly grasping that fatal weakness, the Insurgents Supreme Command advocates creating a solid defensive posture in the Yen The mountainous area. Accordingly, in a low-lying area of ​​the Huu Thuong forest filled with wild bananas, the Insurgents built Ho Chuoi station as a semi-floating, semi-submerged fortification (to limit the enemy's firepower and artillery) as their headquarters. To support the main post, the Insurgents also set up two defensive fortresses (North and South) about 100m away from Ho Chuoi, creating a flexible position to protect and support each other. In addition, De Tham also sent people to set up a system of defense posts around Ho Chuoi, such as: Hom post, Skull Cave, Nua village, Vang village,... a logistics base in Vong Dong with a system of fighting villages (Duong Sat, The Loc, Luoc Ha, Cao Thuong) with many dangerous obstacles. Thanks to a solid posture, the Insurgents were able to detect and attack the enemy from near and far, consuming and destroying many enemy forces before they reached their main target. In particular, at Ho Chuoi, with its unique and dangerous position, the forest became an obstacle to the enemy's firepower and limited vision; If you get close to the base of the fort, you will be shot back from dangerous battlements, etc. The uniqueness of this posture is also shown by the system of submerged trenches (without banks) connecting points together and connecting to Go stream in the rear, creating a flexible maneuver position, while being able to attack the enemy. From the front, you can attack the flanks and rear of their formation. This explains why the enemy gathered large, elite troops, with many modern weapons, attacked from many directions, for many days, but all four attacks were unsuccessful.

Phon Xuong Fort

Phon Xuong Fort is located in the center of Cau Go town. Here De Tham and the uprising command stayed the longest, directing the strategic and tactical direction of the Yen The insurgent army. Phon Xuong Fort is 30 km west of Bac Giang province; From Bac Giang city, follow National Highway 1A (old) through Thuong River bridge, turn right along Provincial Road 398, Bac Giang-Cau Go route. Phon Xuong Fort, also known as Don Go, Don Cu, is located on the south side of a nearly 20m high hill, nearly 800m south of Go stream. Now this hill is called Phon Xuong hill or Ba Ba hill in Cau Go town. This is a large-scale base with a different structure from Ho Chuoi post and other posts. The fort has an almost rectangular architectural plan running along the North-South direction, with an area of ​​about more than an acre of Northern Vietnam including two citadels. The outer citadel starts from the eastern hillside and runs around the foothill to the northern hilltop, forming an arc that protects the inner citadel, 140m long, 0.80m thick and 4m high. The inner city walls are located on top of a roughly rectangular hill. The inner wall on the east side is 71m long, the north side is 85m long. The wall is made of rammed earth, 2m thick at the base, 3m high and 1m wide on the surface. Inside the wall, there are 3 different levels that can be shot standing or kneeling. There are battlements all around the wall. The outer wall slopes gently like a roof. Phon Xuong Fort has 3 gates: The main gate faces East and two side gates are in the South and North. The two side gates open to the surrounding forests. In particular, the northern gate connects to the forest of the remaining half of the hill. The two 1.50m wide side gates are no longer intact, the main gate is 15m from the north wall, 2m wide with 4 steps up and down. Inside the main gate, there is a guard station located on the northern side of the wall in a square shape of 2m on each side. Inside the main door there are two layers of protective earth walls and many battlements. The gates all have two doors, the outside gate and the inside gate, and are all made of ironwood. The outermost position of the station is the guard posts, followed by the auxiliary posts, the trench system and then the surrounding citadel. The distance between the two rings is 20m at its widest and 10m at its narrowest. Within the citadel is a large space including a system of houses, guest houses, warehouses... all are thatched houses with mud walls mixed with straw. Except for the square house that receives guests, it is built of bricks. From the north to the south of the citadel, respectively, are the houses of Hoang Hoa Tham and Ba Ba, the house has 5 rooms running west and east. The second house is square with four sides left empty and is used as a meeting place for Hoang Hoa Tham with generals and to receive guests. The next house consists of two rows located close to the West and East sides of the citadel, and is the residence of the insurgent army. Next, there are 8 kitchens and stables located close to the southern edge of the citadel running east-west, followed by a light pole and flag pole. The architecture of Phon Xuong Fort is a special architectural style. Not only does it meet the requirements of being a stronghold, it also flexibly handles combat mobility and meets the requirements of being a command post, a place for insurgent transactions. Over time, the rampart system and residential buildings in the citadel built with rammed earth are also easily eroded. Now the residential buildings in the citadel no longer exist, and the citadel walls are no longer intact as before. Particularly, the eastern part of the wall still retains many old architectural features. There are quite clear bullet holes in the citadel wall. In the citadel, a Ba Ba temple is currently built. Every year, on March 16 of the solar calendar, Yen The festival takes place on this relic complex. Around the late 80s of the twentieth century, Mr. Hoang Hoa Tham's daughter, Mrs. Hoang Thi The, came here and when she died, she was buried here, on the tombstone there was only the simple words: "Mrs. Hoang Thi The, born in 1901, died December 9, 1988". It can be said that Phon Xuong was the capital of the uprising, the starting place to expand the movement to localities. Here the insurgents fought bravely against a large-scale attack by the French colonialists led by Colonel Vat-tay on January 29, 1909. With those historical and cultural values, Phon Xuong Fort is one of 23 relics ranked as Special National Monuments in Decision No. 548/QD-TTg dated May 10, 2012 of the Prime Minister. .
