The Governor-General of Indochina did not pay attention to what Nguyen Thai Hoc suggested. On December 25, 1927, Nguyen Thai Hoc and his colleagues organized the establishment of the Vietnam Nationalist Party, and he was elected Chairman. The Vietnamese Nationalist Party was hunted down and arrested by the authorities. Faced with the risk of the Vietnamese Nationalist Party being broken up, Nguyen Thai Hoc, Nguyen Khac Nhu and Pho Duc Chinh decided to carry out a "general armed uprising".

Due to not being able to attract all the green loincloth soldiers No. 7 and No. 8 on the high station, the force was thin, so the insurgents were knocked out of their occupied positions, and the uprising was drowned in a sea of ​​blood. Five days after the Yen Bai uprising, Nguyen Thai Hoc organized an uprising in Vinh Bao and Phu Duc, advocating to take over all of Hai Phong. The insurgents captured the district capital of Vinh Bao and killed district governor Hoang Gia Mo, a cruel and greedy mandarin. With a fierce counterattack by the French army with modern weapons, the insurgent army was destroyed. Nguyen Thai Hoc escaped due to the protection of the people. With a number of remaining prominent party members of the Vietnam Nationalist Party, Nguyen Thai Hoc discussed and planned to reform the Party and change the Party's strategic and operational direction. As soon as this policy was launched, on February 20, 1930, Nguyen Thai Hoc was arrested in Co Vit hamlet (Chi Linh, Hai Duong). On March 23, 1930, he was sentenced to death. On June 17, 1930, France sent Nguyen Thai Hoc and 12 other soldiers of the Vietnam Nationalist Party in Yen Bai to the guillotine. Stepping onto the scaffold, before putting his head into the guillotine, Nguyen Thai Hoc shouted: "Long live Vietnam!".
