In March 1871, the War Ministry announced the creation of an Imperial Guard of six thousand men, consisting of nine infantry battalions, two artillery batteries and two cavalry squadrons. The emperor donated 100,000 ryo to underwrite the new unit. This led to the creation of the famed Japanese Imperial Army.
