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.
