In Sultan Muhammad Fateh Episode 23, the intensity of the Ottoman siege against Constantinople escalates as Sultan Mehmet’s meticulous strategies come face to face with internal and external challenges. Wazir Janali’s relentless pursuit of revenge for his nephew Shahbaz’s death blinds him to the larger goals of the empire. Driven by personal vendettas, he targets Rizzo, the brother of Ottoman Navy Captain Suleiman, despite Sultan Mehmet’s warnings about the dangers of placing personal motives above the empire’s mission. Janali’s unyielding focus on revenge causes friction within the Ottoman court, creating potential disruptions in the Sultan’s carefully orchestrated plans for conquest. His actions bring him increasingly at odds with Sultan Mehmet, who remains dedicated to his vision of expanding the empire rather than yielding to impulsive retribution.

Inside Constantinople, Emperor Constantine’s struggle to keep the city’s defenses intact is reinvigorated by the arrival of Giovanni Giustiniani, a commander from Genoa who brings with him 1,000 troops and a critical supply of grain. This timely reinforcement provides Constantine with the morale and resources needed to bolster the city’s weakening defenses. Meanwhile, Ottoman spies, led by Balibey and Saltuk, work covertly within the city to sabotage supplies, triggering a tense battle of wits with Constantinople’s defenders. This episode masterfully captures the high-stakes tension on both sides, with Janali’s unchecked quest for vengeance and Constantine’s desperate fight for survival adding to the drama of Sultan Mehmet’s ultimate vision of conquest.
