Hải Dương Province
Tôn Thất Đính was the governor of Hải Dương Province. He was allowed home in 1864 due to ill health, however, after recovery, his position was never resumed because of his poor eyesight. His son Tôn Thất Thuyết went on to become a high-ranking mandarin, who became the regent upon the death of Tự Đức.
