Darughachi
Darughachi (Mongol form) or Basqaq (Turkic form) were originally designated officials in the
governors.[2] The term corresponds to dārugheh (Persian: داروغه )[3] and basqaq or baskak in Turkic, dálǔhuāchì in Pinyin or ta lu hua ch'ih in Wade–Giles (Traditional Chinese characters: 達魯花赤; Simplified Chinese characters: 达鲁花赤) in Chinese
.
History
This title was established under the rule of
Kiev.[4]
Under the
Yuan Dynasty, the title of Zhangguan replaced the former designation – there was one such official for each administrative subdivision, where functions of governor and chief of the armies were combined. This title was also given to a person at the head of a central government office. This charge usually fell to a Mongol, probably to a Semu
, thus guaranteeing the preservation of power within the Mongols. Some other populations, however, could have an administrative title with close functions.

The texts of Yanghe mention that he should be paid a large sum of gold and silver when the Darugha
Turfan was replaced.[5]
The Turkic term basqaq does not appear in Mongolian sources.Prince of Moscow) became the khan's tax collector and imperial son in law (kürgen), entrusted with gathering the dan or tribute from the Rus' principalities for the Golden Horde.[7]
In the 13th century, chiefs of Mongol darughas were stationed in
Goryeo-sa) indicate that at least some darughachi were stationed in Goryeo for the duration of its vassaldom to the Mongol Empire.[11]
The extant record denoted 72 darughachi was itself a derivation of an older record that has been lost; Goryeo was too small a territory to merit so many darughachi; the names of none of the 72 darughachi remain, which is unusual considering the importance of their position. While further mention of the darughachi in Korea is scarce in extant sources; after peace was secured between Goryeo and the Mongol Empire in 1259 establishing Korea as a vassal to the Empire, the stationing of darughachi in Korea was likely a more stable proposition.
After 1921 the word darga ('boss') (
Khalkha for darugha) replaced the aristocratic noyan as the term for high-level officials in Mongolia.[12]
