English: Rebel 陳新 Tran-tuan. 1511-1512.
This rebel revolted in the province of 興化 Hung-hoa, and soon had a numerous army which spread terror into the neighbouring countries. General 鄭 Trinh was despatched against him by the court, but his army was defeated, and TRAN-TUAN laid his plans for besieging the capital. The confidence which Tran-tuan acquired by his successes was ultimately the cause of his ruin; for no proper watch being kept in his camp. General Trinh entered it one night, followed by thirty men, and penetrating into the chief's tent, murdered him.
