Honghuzi

Honghuzi (Hanzi: 红胡子; harfiah: 'Janggut Merah') adalah perampok Tionghoa yang pernah beroperasi di wilayah perbatasan timur Tiongkok-Rusia, tepatnya di perbatasan antara wilayah Timur Jauh Rusia dengan Manchuria. Honghuzi menyerang para pemukim Rusia di wilayah Timur Jauh pada abad ke-19 dan ke-20. Menjelang akhir abad ke-19, honghuzi juga mengganggu upaya Rusia untuk membangun jalur kereta api Manchuria.^[1] Honghuzi turut serta dalam Pemberontakan Boxer melawan Aliansi Delapan Negara, dan setelah terjadinya invasi Rusia ke Manchuria mereka melancarkan gerilya melawan pendudukan Rusia.

Kebanyakan anggota honghuzi berasal dari wilayah Tiongkok sebenarnya.^[2] Banyak di antara mereka yang sebelumnya merupakan seorang tentara atau pengangguran.^[3]
