Chinese Consolidation War
The war is called “Chinese Consolidation War”
Chinese Consolidation War is a casus belli in Crusader Kings III (celestial). If the attacker wins: The attacker seizes all titles within the defender's realm belonging De Jure to the target title, and all occupied counties outside it. If the defender wins: The defender keeps the contested titles. Declaring it costs piety and prestige. The war goal is worth 50% war score. Patch 1.20.0.3, from game/common/casus_belli_types/10_tgp_china_wars.txt.
