A darugha from the Horde in a Rus' city.

Darughachi, which originally designated officials in the Mongol Empire in charge of taxes and administration in a certain province, is the plural form of the Mongolian word darugha.[1] They were sometimes referred to as governors.[2] The term corresponds to the Persian داروغه dārugheh[3] and the Turkic basqaq (also spelled baskak) and to da lu hua ch'i (in Wade–Giles romanization, 達魯花赤 in Traditional Chinese characters, 达鲁花赤 in Simplified Chinese characters, dálǔhuāchì in Pinyin romanization) in Chinese.

The Turkic term basqaq does not appear in Mongolian sources.[4] In Russian sources, the darughachi were almost always referred to as baskaki.[5] They appear in the thirteenth-century soon after the Mongol Conquest but were withdrawn by 1328 and the Grand Prince of Vladimir (usually the Prince of Moscow) became the khan's tax collector and imperial son in law (kürgen), entrusted with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.[6]

In the 13th century, chiefs of Mongol darughas were stationed in Vladimir[7] and Baghdad.[8]

Starting in 1231, darughachi were stationed in Goryeo of Korea. At the time, 72 darughas were sent.[9] However, repeated rebellions and continued Goryeo hostility to Mongol dominion made the stationing of darughachi difficult. By 1259, after peace was secured between Goryeo and the Mongol Empire establishing Korea as a vassal to the Empire, the stationing of darughachi in Korea became a more stable proposition.

After 1921 the word darga (boss) (Khalkha pronunciation of darugha) replaced the aristocratic noyan as the term for high-level officials in Mongolia.[10]
