1870年8月16日,炽热的阳光照在集市上。这个村子叫奥特费,在法国西南佩里戈一块人鬼不知的地方。这是一年一次的大集,积聚了附近地区数百农民。1870年的集日并不寻常,法国向普鲁士宣战正好一个月,洛林前线传回战争失利的消息刚刚几天。虽然拿破仑三世尚未被俘,但离第二帝国的崩溃似已不远。在这片效忠皇帝的乡野,容不下叛逆的一根毫毛。 August 16, 1870, the hot sun shines on the market. The village is called Otefay, a place of disbelief in Perigue, southwest France. This is a once-yearly large gathering of hundreds of farmers in the nearby area. The set day of 1870 was unusual. The French declared war on Prussia just a month ago, just days after the Loringoun Front sent back the news of the defeat of the war. Although Napoleon III has not yet captured, but not far from the collapse of the Second Empire. In this patch of loyalty to the emperor’s field, can not tolerate a hairless rebel.
