EsenTayisi was a 15th century prince of the Oirat (also known as the Kalmyks), best-known for capturing the Zhengtong Emperor after the Battle of Tumu Fortress.
Esen actually waited to present this ransom demand, as well, not doing so until he could bring a more substantial force to the vicinity of Peking, and taking fully six weeks from the time of the emperor's capture to effect that deployment.
EsenTayisi was slain in 1454, the year following his assumption of the title of khan, by the son of a political opponent whom Esen had had killed.
