Capture of Vĩnh Long : ウィキペディア英語版 | Capture of Vĩnh Long
The Capture of Vinh Long (Vietnamese: Vĩnh Long) on 22 March 1862 was the last major allied victory of the Cochinchina campaign (1858–62). This campaign, fought between the French and the Spanish on the one side and the Vietnamese on the other, began as a limited punitive expedition and ended as a French war of conquest. The war concluded with the establishment of the French colony of Cochinchina, a development that inaugurated nearly a century of French colonial dominance in Vietnam. == Background == The Vinh Long campaign was undertaken by the French and Spanish as a reprisal for Vietnamese guerilla attacks in February and March 1862 on French troops and gunboats in the vicinity of My Tho. French marching columns were sniped at on the roads, and on 10 March a French gunboat (No. 25) carrying a company of soldiers blew up shortly after it left My Tho. Fifty-two men were killed or wounded in this incident, and a commission of enquiry found that the explosion was due to sabotage.〔Thomazi, ''Conquête'', 68; ''Histoire militaire'', 35〕 Convinced that the mandarins of the province of Vinh Long were behind these attacks, Admiral Louis-Adolphe Bonard, the French commander-in-chief, decided to capture the town of Vinh Long with a flotilla of despatch vessels and gunboats and a joint Franco-Spanish landing force. On 20 March 1862 he arrived before the fortress of Vinh Long with the dispatch vessels ''Ondine'' (his flagship) and ''Shamrock'', the gunboats ''Dragonne'' and ''Fusée'' and seven small gunboats. The landing force, embarked aboard the gunboats, numbered 700 French soldiers and 300 Spanish soldiers, under the orders of Lieutenant-Colonel Reboul of the marine infantry. On 20 March these troops, reinforced by the ships’ landing companies, were set ashore at Dinh Kao, to the southeast of the citadel.〔Thomazi, ''Conquête'', 68; ''Histoire militaire'', 35〕
