In this period of time, daimyo who opposed the bakufu or who violated the regulations of Buke Shohatto (code for the warrior households) mercilessly received sanctions such as kaieki (sudden dismissal and deprivation of position, privileges and properties) and genpo (a punishment with deprivation of social status and part of territory), no matter whether they were shinpan (Tokugawa's relatives), fudai (hereditary daimyos) or tozama (outside daimyo).
この時期、幕府に逆らう大名、或いは武家諸法度の法令に違反する大名は親藩、譜代、外様の区別なく容赦なく、改易、減封の処置を行った。
