Is there really a city under Beihu Lake in Suixian County?

According to relevant data, the water quality of Beihu Lake in Suixian County is clean, with an average water depth of 2.2 meters and the deepest point of 3.9 meters. Its formation is legendary. The history can be traced back to Chongzhen 15 in Ming Dynasty, that is, 1642 in March. Li Zicheng, the leader of the peasant uprising army who shocked the ruling and opposition parties at that time, together with Luo Rucai and Yuan Shizhong, fought a bloody battle and conquered Suizhou, which was deep in the pool and strong in the city. Li Zicheng, who was invincible, once planned to attack Kaifeng and build its capital in the Capital of the Song Dynasty. He followed Qin Shihuang's strategy of "cutting down heavy branches first if you want to fall down big trees" and sent troops to demolish Suizhou city walls. Suizhou City Wall was built in the Northern Song Dynasty. Before it was demolished by Li Zicheng, the Yellow River flooded three times in five years. Every time there is a flood, the city gate is closed to prevent yellow cement sand from depositing outside the city gate. After several years of flooding of the Yellow River, the geographical environment of Suizhou City has been formed. 1642 September, when Li Zicheng attacked Kaifeng, he fought a decisive battle with the Ming army. Both sides wanted to use water instead of soldiers, so they stripped the Yellow River. During the Ming Dynasty, the raging Yellow River was flowing through the old road within the territory of civil rights, only 30 Li away from Suizhou. After Li Zicheng demolished the wall, the Yellow River surged southward and flooded Suizhou City. Since then, Suizhou has become a lake, with a city under it and a lake on it. This lake is a very regular rectangle. The ancients once described the North Lake in Suixian County as "flat and windless, with a few sand snails on the jasper plate".
