Red Spear Society
The Red Spear Society (Hongqiang Hui) began in northern China during the Warlord Era in the 1920s as a rural self defense movement in Henan, Hebei and Shandong. These were local groups of small-holders and tenant farmers organized to defend villages against roaming bandits, warlords, tax collectors or later Chinese communists or Japanese.
