Turning peasants into disciplined soldiers required isolation and scheduling, not just punishment.

Evidence

Passing laws with a strict punishment regime was not sufficient for the soldiers to internalize the different army regulations that they were asked to obey. For this to succeed these soldiers had to be interned and isolated from outside influences. Then they had to be “fixed” in their positions through such devices as the timetable and the weekly schedule. — Khaled Fahmy, All the Pasha_s Men_ Mehmed Ali, his…, 726
