  The territorial base that each network controlled corresponded neatly with a subcounty administrative unit. In Queshan county, for instance, the Red Spears were divided into the Red, Yellow, Green, White, and Black Spears. The Red Spears, the dominant group in the southeast, had 100,000 men and 200 guns, while the Yellow Spears, who occupied the northern part of the county, numbered 40,000 with 100 guns.
