While daimyo were nominally loyal to the emperor, their loyalty was often more complex and pragmatic, as they maintained their own armies to protect and expand their territories. Unlike earlier European nobles who were heavily reliant on royal authority, daimyo operated within a feudal system that allowed them considerable autonomy. Their military forces were essential for local governance and defense, reflecting a balance between loyalty to the emperor and the need for self-sufficiency. Thus, the daimyo did create their own armies, contrary to the notion of complete loyalty without personal military power.
