The Red Spear Society was founded to assist tenants in defending themselves against warlords, robbers, tax collectors, Japanese, and Chinese communists. The Red Spear Society rose up against Liu Zhennian, the Nationalist warlord ruler, from 1928 to 1929. Liu increased taxes and brutalized the tenants with his soldiers.
