1- History of Kampup Te Ong District (Long Hor Province)
Kampup Te Ong District is a province with the most bitter history, where the Vietnamese buried the Khmer alive up to the neck, in the shape of a stilt by lifting a frying pan and placing it over the Khmer's head, then lighting a fire and burning it with firewood to boil water for the Vietnamese to drink.
The Vietnamese said that if anyone dares to spill the water on the tea that is being planted, their heads will be cut off.
This district is related to the story of Kampup Te Ong or Kampong Te Ong.
🌴Kampong Te Ong
Kampong Te Ong is a region of Kampong Teuk where Ong Yuon ordered his servants and entourage to go and collect water from the Kampong Teuk and bring it to grow tea for himself to drink.
Another meaning is
-Kampong is a place to bathe, drink water, cross the water....
-Te Ong is the tea of Ong Yuon that he ordered to be grown above the heads of the Khmer.
During the reign of the Vietnamese Emperor Minh Mang (1820-1841)
Vietnamese control was extremely harsh and cruel.
Since that time, the Khmer people have always told the story of "tea spilling" and it has been repeated until today.
At that time, the soldiers of the Vietnamese emperor buried Khmer who opposed them alive, leaving only their heads above the ground to be used as tea pots.
When the convicts tried to move in great pain from being burned alive, the Vietnamese shouted and threatened, "Be careful, tea spilling."
The word tea spilling in Vietnamese means "big tea."
No matter what rank or caste the Khmer people are, whether they are old or young, they all talk about this story, which is a bitter and tragic memory.
King Minh Mang ordered the names of all Khmer provinces to be changed to Vietnamese names, and in those provinces, each Vietnamese person supervised the governor of each Khmer province.
Vietnam forced the Khmer administration to use the Vietnamese language. Vietnamese generals persecuted the Khmer monks because they suspected that the monks had nationalist ideas. They destroyed all the Buddha statues and stupas.
At that time, a Vietnamese general named Truong Minh Giang led and controlled Cambodia.
The change of control, once from Siam and once from Vietnam, lasted for centuries. Because of some incidents, Siam was involved in a long war with Burma, and Vietnam had some disturbances from its own internal rebels, which prevented these two powerful countries from completely swallowing up Cambodia.
2- King Ang (1779-1796)
When King Ang ascended to the throne in 1779, Cambodia became a vassal state, a vassal state of both Siam and Vietnam at the same time.
King Ang was crowned in Bangkok, the new capital of Siam, which was then being taken over by the Siamese army.
King Ang ascended to the throne at the age of 7, a very young man with no experience or knowledge of the ins and outs of governing the kingdom.
King Eng was crowned at the age of 22.
When King Eng died in 1796, his son was too young to succeed him.
A Khmer official, Chau Fa Pok, who was close to Siam, took charge of state affairs from 1796 to 1805.
During the reign of King Ang Eng, the Battambang Kingdom fell to Siam in 1795, when Cambodian officials close to Siam, eager to please the Siamese ruler, persuaded the Siamese king to ask for favors in raising Ang Eng.
3- King Ang Chan II
50 years later, King Ang Chan II asked Vietnam for help in suppressing a rebellion led by his two brothers who were plotting to seize the throne.
When Angkor Wat mysteriously died, the Vietnamese installed a powerless king and took control of the Khmer kingdom.
During the reign of Angkor Wat II, the Khmer had to pay tribute to both the Siamese and Vietnamese kings.
The tribute sent to Vietnam included a 5-foot-tall male elephant, two rhinoceros horns, three pairs of elephant tusks, cardamom, and lacquer.
During this reign, the Vietnamese also forced the Khmer to dig the 53-kilometer Vinh Te Canal and the 14-kilometer Vinh An Canal in Lower Cambodia.
4- King Ang Duong (1840-1859)
In 1949, the Khmer people revolted against Vietnamese generals and officials who were too insulting and belittling the Khmer people.
Siam sent troops to help the Khmer, but neither army was truly victorious.
So at that time, the kings of Siam and Vietnam agreed to crown King Ang Duong as the King of Cambodia.
According to the agreement between Siam and Vietnam, both countries controlled Cambodia and claimed the territory that both countries had seized over the previous 50 years as their own.
In 1848, King Angkor returned from exile in Bangkok, with the help of Siamese troops, seized the throne, and restored
