The Red Turbans

A new secret society, made mostly of Buddhist peasants, call themselves the Red Turbans. Their goal is to bring the Song Dynasty back and get the Mongols out of China. The Red Turbans slowly recruit more and more people who are interested in the mission. Their plan also includes to get a new Buddha who will spread peace throughout the country of China.

Many ideas of the Red Turbans came from an older group before them called the White Lotus. The White Lotus was lead by Han Shangton. They targeted the Yuan Dynasty also.

Unfortunately, the White Lotus got discovered and Han Shangton was executed for creating the group. Later on Shangton's son created the Red Turbans which is why many of their objectives and ideas are very similar to the ones the White Lotus had. The Red Turbans can be recognized by their red banners and red trubans.
