Phan initially rallied support from his native village and set up his headquarters on Mount Vu Quang, which overlooked the coastal French fortress at Ha Tinh. Phan's organisation became a model for future insurgents. For flexibility, he divided his operational zone into twelve districts.[6] His forces upheld military discipline and wore uniforms.[27] Phan initially used the local scholar-gentry as his military commanders. Their first notable attack targeted two nearby Catholic villages that had collaborated with French forces. Colonial troops arrived a few hours later, quickly overwhelming the rebels and forcing them to retreat to their home village, where the retribution was heavy.[5] Phan managed to escape but his elder brother was captured by the same former viceroy of northern Vietnam who had been removed from office as a result of Phan's critical report. The disgraced official was now a French collaborator, serving as the governor of Nghe An province.[5]
