The battles in Toba and Fushimi continued.
Jan 5, Emperor Meiji gave the Imperial flag and a sword to prince [[Ninnajinomiya Yoshiaki]] who was chosen to be commander of Imperial troops.
When the flag appeared at the front line, it confused the Bakufu troops.
The defeated Bakufu troops tried to enter [[Yodo castle]].
The castle was residence of [[Inaba Masakuni]] who was [[Roju]] (High rank Bakufu retainer. He was in Edo at the time).
But the castle didn't open the gate and the Bakufu troops had to retreat to South.
