As a result, the Chôshû extremists worked to take military action against Satsuma and Aizu forces in Kyoto. |

In the aftermath of the event, the shogunate moved to reduce the [[Mori clan|Môri's]] holdings by 100,000 ''[[koku]]'' as punishment, but the [[Meiji Restoration]] came to pass before the reduction was put into effect; this was the only time the shogunate attempted to reduce the holdings of a ''[[kunimochi]] daimyô''.<ref>[[Mark Ravina]], ''Land and Lordship in Early Modern Japan'', Stanford University Press (1999), 21.</ref> |
