What R.F. says is true, and also I'd like to add my opinion:
Samura's control over KSP is over policymaking and politics, not over individual officers. Officers are _not_ required to cave in to demands from Samura, Hogosha or FA in the field.
In fact, doing so would cause them, the KSP, and by extension the Shogun's government to lose face - and that would need to be punished, not the other way around.
