Two years later, Anouvong came back to Vientiane and decided to revolt against Siam again. As Rama III raised an army to quell the rebellion, Anouvong asked for the help of the Vietnamese. Minh Mạng, the emperor of Vietnam, accepted the offer and sent troops to Laos. However, it was just a pretext for annexing the region. Phan Văn Thúy, Nguyễn Văn Xuân, Nguyễn Khoa Hào was sent to support him, but marched slowly. After Anouvong's defeat and execution by Siamese, the rest part of Vientiane Kingdom was annexed by Vietnam and renamed to the Vietnamese name: Trấn Ninh (鎮寧), or "Tranquil Commandery".
