Darughachi

[1] The Secret History of the Mongols relates that after the invasion and conquest of the Kipchaks and the Rus between 1237 and 1240, Ögödei placed daruγačin[what language is this?]

[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.

The texts of Yanghe mention that he should be paid a large sum of gold and silver when the Darugha Turfan was replaced.

[6] They appear in the 13th-century soon after the Mongol Conquest but were withdrawn by 1328 and the Grand Prince of Vladimir (usually the Prince of Moscow) became the khan's tax collector and imperial son in law (kürgen), entrusted with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.

After 1921 the word darga ('boss') (Khalkha for darugha) replaced the aristocratic noyan as the term for high-level officials in Mongolia.
