About Nguyễn Phúc Chu
- Nguy?n Phúc Chu (Hán t?: ???, 1675 – 1 June 1725) was one of the Nguy?n lords who ruled southern Vietnam (Dang Trong) from 1691 to 1725. During his time in power, he had to deal with a Champa rebellion and the first major war against the Cambodians.
- Nguy?n Phúc Chu was the eldest son of Nguy?n Phúc Tran.
- He gained the throne on his father's early death, at just 15 years old.
- He took for himself the title Tong Quan-Cong (Duke of Tong).Early in his reign the Champa ruler of Panduranga (in present-day Ninh Thu?n), Po Sot, began a rebellion against the Nguy?n.
- The revolt was at first unsuccessful and after the Nguy?n army put down the revolt there was an outbreak of plague in Panduranga.
- Three years later, a Cham aristocrat, Oknha Dat, obtained the help of General A Ban (a somewhat mysterious figure).Together they defeated a Nguy?n military force in 1695.
- The new Champ king, Po Saktiray Da Patih (younger brother of Po Sot), made a treaty with Nguy?n Phúc Chu.
- The result was the Cham rulers in Panduranga were recognised as Tr?n Vuong (local lords) for the next 135 years, though they had no authority over Vietnamese living in the area.
- In 1714, Nguy?n Phúc Chu sent an army into Cambodia to support Keo Fa who claimed the throne against Prea Srey Thomea (see also the article on the Dark ages of Cambodia).
- The army of Siam also got involved in the war, the Siamese sided with the Prea Srey Thomea against the Vietnamese (this was during the time of the Ayutthaya Kings of Siam).
- The Vietnamese won several battles against the Siamese (including the battle of Banteay Meas) but shifting fortunes led to the war ending with negotiations rather than military defeat on either side.
