While in Kyoto, he made efforts to support the unification of the imperial court and the shogunate (''[[Kobu gattai|Kôbu gattai]]'') and used the [[Shinsengumi]] to maintain public peace. |

The domains in the northern provinces then allied together against the pro-Imperial troops which were mainly from [[Satsuma han]] and Chôshû. However some domains went over to the pro-Imperial side; most ultimately surrendered before Aizu did. |
